Build your modeling portfolio in Atlanta.

It's tempting for new models in Atlanta to rely solely on Instagram photos to fill their portfolio. While social media images serve the purpose of connecting with followers, they often lack the refinement and attention to detail required to showcase your true potential as a model (even when you’re working with a professional photographer). Modeling portfolios in Atlanta and across markets demand a higher standard – they require photographs that capture not only your physical attributes but also your distinct personality and versatility utilizing lighting and editing that are sophisticated and natural.

To create a standout modeling portfolio, you need photographs that are sharp, captivating, and professionally edited to emphasize your unique features. We know exactly how to enhance your natural beauty, ensuring that your portfolio stands out in a competitive industry.


Remember, your modeling portfolio is your calling card – it's what separates you from the rest and opens doors to exciting opportunities. Don't settle for poorly lit, overly edited snapshots. Let Rachael Humphries Photography capture the essence of the aspiring model within you, producing exquisite images that leave a lasting impression on agencies and clients alike.

    For models who want to enter the world of fashion, it’s important to show brands why they should hire you. A big part of fashion photography is good light and wearing a fashionable outfit while ensuring the outfit does not outshine the model.

She is professional, extremely knowledgeable and an absolute joy to work with! Rachael always makes sure I am comfortable on set which is very important! Over time we have created a full portfolio of images ranging from lifestyle to editorial and everything in between. I admire the clean and crisp work that Rachael always provides and I have been successful in booking many jobs because of the photos.

  • Rachael is an absolute gem of a human to work with. She not only got the shots I wanted for my engagement shoot, but was flexible and prompt. She also welcomed our dog on set to make sure she was incorporated into our shoot.

    They came out beautiful and were everything I wanted. She also kept everything light and fun. A great photographer for 2 and 4 legged beings alike!

    THANK YOU.

  • Loved working with Rachael on all the shoots we got to do together. She always comes up with the coolest concepts and works with you to make sure your own creativity can shine as well. You always feel so comforted throughout the shoot and I can trust that she will deliver the most with her pictures. The raws you see are beautiful and the edits are just magical.

  • I loved getting to work with Rachael! She is incredibly talented and creative. She has an eye for creating beautiful things and I absolutely love my photos. She is amazing!

  • We really wanted our wedding photos to really represent us, so we selected Rachael because we loved her freelance work - and truly couldn't have been happier. She brought in a second photographer (Joseph) and they made us feel so special the whole day. We somehow felt extremely taken care of and hardly noticed they were there even in intimate moments. I love the way she plays with your personal style and little details in nature; you can tell she really cares about and enjoys her work. She was professional, encouraging, and so so fun. Thank you!
