modeling

i have had the chance to model by two different photgraphers but the 1st one it was a family thing and i wanted to because i have wanted to model for a long time but to me it didnt really count. but then i got asked to do a photo shoot a few months ago by a casting agent to help me book jobs. well my SO does not want me doing it!!! if you had the opportunity would your SO other support you or tell you not to do it?
