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

  • 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.

Model Portfolios for Beginners and Professionals Alike

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.

What to Bring Along for Your Session

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.

What to Expect from Your Model Portfolio Session

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.
