In the past it was common to provide a proof sheet to the model as part of the deal. Since they couldn't make a good print by copying that there was no problem. The model got to see how she got to the good pose and it was a learning experience for her. I am all for providing that.

Standard digital files are much more. These files can be used on multiple model pages and web sites with no compensation or credit to you. That is not what we want. So go ahead and offer and include a digital proof sheet of all the images. Just make sure that is all you do.

Make very tiny files that fall apart when they are copied, have the **** data in them too that shows they are copyrighted, and even show a watermark if they try to use them. Print them up 8 to a page and on that page have a paragraph that explains your rights. The full up-8 shot page, is one file, not individual files of each image and the whole page is a low resolution jpeg only suitable for viewing on a monitor. When they try to blow up one image, it will fall apart.
