Each session is tailored to help you feel relaxed and confident. Here’s what you can expect:

• Personalised Guidance – Whether you’ve worked as a model before or this is your first time, I’ll guide you through the process so you feel comfortable every step of the way.

• Variety of Shots – We’ll create a range of images for your portfolio, from headshots to full-body shots, showing off your versatility.

• Studio and Outdoor Options – Depending on your preferences, we can shoot in the studio or even incorporate outdoor locations for added variety.

• Natural Posing – I’ll help you with posing, ensuring that the photos feel authentic and showcase your natural beauty.

• Editing and Retouching – After the shoot, I’ll carefully select and edit the best images to reflect your true personality, ensuring a polished final portfolio.

These sessions are for both aspiring and experienced models. Whether you’re just beginning your journey or looking to refresh your portfolio for new opportunities, these sessions are designed to showcase your unique personality and style. You might be:

• Aspiring Models – If you’re looking to break into the industry, we’ll create a portfolio that catches the eye of agents and casting directors.

• Experienced Models – If you’re a working model, this is an opportunity to update your portfolio with fresh, authentic images that showcase your current style.

• Actors and Performers – If you’re an actor or performer looking for Professional Headshots or a portfolio to showcase your talents, this session is for you too!

You don’t need to bring much – just a few thoughtful items can help us get the best variety from your shoot.

A selection of outfits – neutral colours, fitted shapes, and a mix of casual and slightly more styled looks work really well.

Footwear – to suit your outfit choices, even if it’s just for your own comfort and confidence.

Light grooming items – a brush, simple makeup, or anything you’d like for small touch-ups.

Props or accessories (optional) – things that reflect your personality or the type of work you’re aiming for.

Above all, bring a relaxed attitude – no experience needed, and you’ll be guided throughout.

All model portfolio sessions take place in our relaxed, professional home studio in Stokesley, just outside Middlesbrough, North Yorkshire. Here’s what’s included:

• A pre-session call to discuss your goals, the type of modelling work you’re aiming for, and what you’d like from the shoot. If you’re unsure about where to start, platforms like Spotlight and Model Mayhem can provide inspiration and help guide your next steps.
• Guidance throughout the session — we’ll help you feel at ease and get the most out of your shoot, whether you’re a beginner or more experienced. To get the most from your session, check out some professional tips and inspiration on CreativeLive.
• A mix of headshots, half-length and full-length images to create a varied and professional portfolio. You can check out the latest modelling trends and runway inspiration on Vogue Runway to get an idea of current fashion and styling trends.
• Time for multiple outfit changes (casual, styled, or character looks). This gives you flexibility to showcase a range of styles. If you’re unsure which looks work best, The Fashion Spot is a great resource for styling advice.
• High-resolution, professionally edited digital images, ready for you to share on your Mandy profile, agency submissions, or personal portfolio.
• Natural, agency-friendly results that reflect your personality and strengths as a model. When you’re ready to submit to agencies, visit Models.com to explore top agencies and start making connections.
• We’ll ensure your images align with your specific goals — whether it’s for agency submissions, casting calls, or general promotion.

We’ll discuss whether the images are for agency submissions, castings, comp cards or general promotion, and shape the session around your needs.

If you’ve got a question, or just want to talk through your ideas, feel free to get in touch — there’s no pressure and no hard sell.
