Michigan model test shoots for an unforgettable portfolio.

I work with models to create strong test shoot images that support real career growth. These sessions are designed to add polished, reliable work to your portfolio, whether you are signed to an agency or building independently.

Lifestyle, commercial, and fashion models come to me to refresh their existing books or start a portfolio from the ground up. Every shoot is focused on producing images that feel current, intentional, and usable for both agency submissions and client bookings.

A modeling portfolio plays a role far beyond a single moment in your career. It is what agencies look at when they are deciding if you are ready to be represented. It shows how you move, how you photograph, and how well you understand your presence in front of the camera.

Each session builds confidence, sharpens your skills, and adds fresh work you can share. Consistent shooting helps you grow as a model while keeping your digital portfolio active and relevant.

Your test shoot experience.

Model test shoots, also known as portfolio sessions, begin at $750.

This session is designed to help you build a polished, versatile modeling portfolio with images that reflect your look, goals, and the type of work you want to book. We will spend a few hours together in the studio or on location, creating a range of portraits and portfolio-ready images with clear direction throughout the session.

As we shoot, I’ll share images with you so we can refine posing, expression, styling, and overall direction in real time. This gives us space to adjust as we go and create images that feel intentional, confident, and useful for your portfolio.

Your session includes a full edited gallery, typically 20 to 50 digital images, plus a complimentary set of modeling digitals for agency submissions and castings. Professional retouching is available for selected favorites, finished with a refined, magazine-ready touch.

What working together looks like.

I have worked with models at many stages of their careers. I understand what agencies and casting directors look for and how to present your look clearly and honestly. This experience shapes every session from start to finish.

  • I create professional modeling digitals that meet agency standards. My lighting, equipment, and workflow are designed to produce clean and consistent images that agencies rely on.

  • Every model photographs differently. I take time to understand your look, strengths, and goals. This allows me to guide posing and expression in a way that feels natural and confident.

  • Modeling moves quickly. I deliver images promptly so you can submit to agencies or send updates without delays.
