If you have ever handled model shoots or know relevant answers, please respond with that info.

If you pay models, its my understanding that they should not expect ANY photographs, correct?

If models choose to work Time For Prints (TFP) then how many prints per hour should they expect and what format (digital/cd, 4x6, 8x10)? Should I give them a blanket document that authorizes them to create more copies of the images they get (so that they can distribute them)?

Should the model or the photographer select the images the model gets from a TFP session? I figure I'm going to have to do some production work on the images since they are digital and she probably wouldn't want to select any from the LCD panel so would anyone please share your personal solution to this?

I have handled my only two shoots by meeting the model, performing the shoot, getting the model release signed (to verify that she felt comfortable after all the pics were taken) and then I pay her (on fee based sessions). Is this standard?

Thanks again for your involvement,

Well... I have not a lot of experience with models, but.. I give her some prints: 1 8x10, 4 4x6 and thats all... I dont give her any other format. Obviously, I have worked with amateur models only, people who wants to pose just for fun.

There are a lot of places that are better to look for TFP guidelines than here (such as photographytips.com forums) but I'd suggest 2 8x10s, 2 5x7s. That way she can keep one of the big ones for a portfolio and "show off" the other. And same with the 5x7 - giving them out as gift ideas for herself, etc. Also, think about putting the whole collection on cd or something for her if you are just using it to practice model stuffs.
