Tips for model photography

Lowest ISO lighting will allow for.
Use a reflector to remove shadows
Large Apperture (Greater than F/2.8)
Make sure she is relaxed, so do them somewhere she will be comfortable.
If using flash, make sure you use a diffuser. if its a built in flash buy some thin rizla and stick one of the flash.

I suggest going and asking permission from her, then we'll help you 
Natural light, get her outside.. Not in her bedroom with all her crap behind her! lol..
What lens' do you have? Just kit lens? Depends what kind of shots she wants really.. Is it going to be close up of her face? or a 'squeeze my tits together and cover my nipples' type shot? Around 50mm id say, f5.6 something like that.. Nice depth of field depending on whats around you..
Have a look on flickr for some examples. Theres constantly pics of hot women on there!

Get a fit bird and you could take pictures with a disposable kodak and it would make no difference.
LOL! Look at all the sharks. Leave us alone in the intellectuals section!!
When I clicked this thread, I was expecting him to be asking about model cars or something. I was going to suggest some tilt shift action
lol, tbh the first reply answers the question so the rest is basically going to be pervs
Some examples:
Shot outside, sunny day, but no reflector so ruined by shadows on her face
Shot indoors in low light:
Again outdoors, sunny day, iirc by this time I was using the reflector:
Indoors, natural light:
All shot indoors, ISO100, Apperture think was f/2 - f/1,4 on all of them. Used Sigma 30mm f/1,4 on Olympus E1.

Lighting is one of the most important parts of the shots as well as the poses. Definitely worth reading up on in advance.
Lull her into a false sense of security before going in for the "special" shots which you can then post on here.
lol
FPMSL!
Nikon D700
lol at all the perv comments...
just spend ages working with the model and getting what she wants (not what everyone on here wants - lol).
but i'd use f/5.6 50-70mm and a reflector into the face to make sure you dont get too many shadows.
Like most have said, lighting is most important, you get some really night light outside at 3-4ish at the moment.
If you've got the kit, try some strobist stuff...

If neither of you have experience of model photography it'd be a good idea to print off some sample poses from the interweb to use for ideas.
Don't know what gear you have but use off camera lighting if you can.
If you haven't got a reflector try and get a car windscreen sun reflector thing (might not sell them in Scotland?). I picked up one in a Poundland shop, white one side, silver the other, ideal for outside shoots.

Focus TDCi
I'd recommend looking for a copy of "Understanding Exposure" by Bryan Peterson, in particular page 93 onwards which is the section on light. In brief (and this only how I understand it having read it on the train today) then the main consideration is where you are shooting and what light already exists there.
I'll go into it in more depth if you like, but there's quite a lot to consider!
Also, a little fashion photography trick seems to be to cut off the top of the head ever so slightly to make the model appear to fill the frame more and appear more intimate.
I'd trust what the duck and other people have said though.

large apertures will reduce DOF not what you want for glamour shots.
make sure its warm, make sure she does not wear tight clothing as skin marks are not attractive.
better off without flash, natural light with gold reflector will give a warm result.
I'd probably not go below 50mm either to keep perspective in check.

loads of glamour groups on flickr for you check out also.
Good tip that. Never noticed it before but once you'd said that ive noticed loads on flickr with the tops of heads cut off.
Matter of opinion tbh
Rally bus
Depends what shot you want, sometimes a short DOF is exactly what is needed (in my experiemce).
