Step 2: Free Portfolio Consultation
During your consultation, we’ll discuss your goals, review your current portfolio (if you have one), and provide personalized advice on how to enhance your modeling career.

Step 3: Free Mini Photoshoot
At your mini-photoshoot, we’ll capture images that showcase your unique look. David will guide you through each shot to ensure you feel comfortable and confident.
-
Step 4: Review Your Photos, Receive Your Free Photo, and Get Feedback
After the shoot, you’ll receive access to a private online gallery where you can view the images from your session. We’ll schedule a virtual review session to go over your photos, provide personalized feedback, and give you one professionally edited image from the session. During this session, we'll also discuss how to improve your portfolio and recommend the next steps for your modeling journey.

Step 5: Move to Portfolio Builder or Other Services
If you’re thrilled with the images and feedback, and feel ready to take the next step, we offer Portfolio Builder sessions and other portfolio services designed to help you grow as a model. These professional shoots are offered at a fraction of typical agency prices, giving you high-quality images at an affordable rate.

"I recently did a 3-look Portfolio Builder session, and it was an amazing experience from start to finish! I felt completely comfortable the entire time. David made sure I had a private, beautiful dressing area to get ready, and I loved that I could pick my own music—it really set the vibe! The photos turned out absolutely stunning and are exactly what I was looking for to elevate my portfolio. If you’re looking for someone who creates a fun, relaxed atmosphere while capturing incredible shots, I highly recommend David!>

Frequently Asked Questions
-
“What’s the catch with the free mini-session?”
There is no catch! We offer this as a way to introduce you to our services and give you a taste of what we can do. If you’d like to continue building your portfolio, we offer additional shoots at affordable rates.
-
“Are you an agent?”
No, I am not an agent! I’m a photographer and model consultant, dedicated to helping models and actors build a professional portfolio and gain the confidence they need to pursue agency representation, if that’s their goal. While I do have my own commercial and fashion clients, and occasionally work with models I’ve collaborated with on paid shoots for those clients, please note that if you're selected for one of these shoots, you will be compensated. However, my focus is on helping you develop your portfolio and providing guidance—not acting as an agent.
