I’ve seen some places in LA that specialize in plus-size pin ups and they have LOYAL clients who recommend them far and wide – people travel in just for these pictures. Even just simple gestures, like wearing a robe between dressing room and portrait area go a long way for people who like the idea of being made beautiful but aren’t 100% comfortable in their own skin.

Those folks work hand-in-hand with photographers so they usually can recommend someone. My hairdresser has a list of people she recommends for different events (one photog. specializes in weddings, this person is better at outdoor stuff, this one is great at corporate events, this one is the best for baby pics, etc.). You might ask some of the local stylists if they could recommend you or for a two-way referral. Most of the places that I have seen offer packages that include a hairstylist, make-up artist, and costumer in addition to photos. If you could team up with, say, a hairstylist and have them promote to their clients…
