Denver teen model portfolio and headshot session last year and I had to share. Isn’t it great? This teen model is so lovely – and I love the dress she is wearing – it suits her so well!
BTW, you may wonder how photographers come across images from months (sometimes years) ago that we didn’t ever share. Or you may wonder why we didn’t share them back when we took them….Here is how…during busy seasons, we take photos, deliver images to the client, repeat, repeat. We are so focused on meeting our clients needs that sometimes we forget to share our favorite ones on our blogs/social media/etc. I think that’s a great thing, because it means we are focused on meeting our clients’ needs. (Yay!) But it does mean that our blogs/IG feeds/FB pages/etc can get neglected. (Boo!)
Then something will happen that makes us think of a session we did – like we will talk to a client who is booking with us again, and we will think, “Oh! I really like the photos from that shoot, and I never did share them publicly.” Or we do a shoot that reminds us of a previous shoot, and we’ll realize the same thing….”Oh! I never did post photos from that shoot.!” Or we just get a message from the client thanking us and letting us know how our images for their child model won a modeling competition. (Double yay!)
That happens to me quite a bit. And I know that social media is supposed to be all about the “now”, but a great image of a beautiful teen girl model from last year…well, that is timeless and still should be shared…even if the photographer (me) is months behind!

I’ve been lucky enough to do modeling portfolio and headshots for many local Denver child and teen models. Today I’m thrilled to introduce our male model of the month, Ronan.
Ronan is super laid back, and (like many teen models) looks and acts much older than 13. He’s got a great sense of humor and as he mentions below, he had a hard time keeping a straight face during our portfolio session.
First let’s hear from Ronan’s mom, Lamia, who has a fascinating background!
Tell us about yourself and your family:
I was born in Wales, raised in Morocco, went to college and graduate school in Vermont, stayed in the US and lived in Louisiana 15 years before moving to Colorado in July 2013. I am a project manager for a start-up food manufacturing company and work is keeping me very busy. I don’t have much time to myself but if I did I’d want to do absolutely nothing! 🙂 As a family though, Ronan and I like to go skiing (for me) and snowboarding (for him) in the winter, or just being outdoors when it’s warm.
Now, let’s hear from Ronan in his own words:
My name is Ronan, I’m 13 years old. I’m an avid reader, enjoy going to the movies, but most of all I love playing football and basketball. The first thing that came to mind when asked about what would I dream of doing, is to drive a Lamborghini one day!
What is something about you that surprises people about you?
People are always surprised when I tell them my age because I’m so tall for my age. I am now 6′ tall 160lbs and still 13! My friends would say “he’s huge!”
What made you interesting in modeling?
I had never thought about it until a few friends of my parents kept saying I should try out modeling. I’ve had a few opportunities to audition for TV commercials but the timing conflicted with school vacation or I had a game.
Why did you pick Natascha Lee Studios for your modeling headshots?
Our modeling agency Wilhelmina highly recommended Natascha Lee Studios.
Was there anything you were nervous or worried about before the session?
I was definitely nervous because I had never done anything like this before. I was also very nervous because I thought I’d be the only boy, but when I showed up there was another guy.
How did the actual photo session go?
The photo shoot was so much fun, and Natascha made it very easy. My favorite part was trying to keep a straight face, it’s so hard to do but so funny!
Any advice to other models before their photo sessions?
It’s really not as serious as you think it may be. It’s a fun experience.
How did you feel/what did you think when received your images?
I was impressed when I received the pictures because I didn’t think I could look so cool LOL
If you could have any superpower, which one would it be and why?
Invincibility because I could do anything

Denver Model photographer, the question I hear the most is “what should I wear?”This posting is to help out any Denver model (well, any model anywhere I guess!) who is planning a professional photo session to build their modeling portfolio. You also might want to check out my top 3 tips here.
Here are two great examples of my Model Portfolio+ Plus for Teen Girls. Not only are these girls beautiful and photogenic, but they and their parents did a GREAT job preparing for their modeling session. Preparation is key!
You’ll see that each girl has three distinct looks – one casual, one dressy and one “other” – sporty in Lucia’s case and dressy in Isabella’s case. Your third outfit could be related to your favorite sport, or it could be shorts, or it could be similar to outfit 1 or 2 – but in a very different color.
Speaking of colors, you’ll see that the colors are varied, and the clothes are all in new/almost new condition. They fit well, but not too tight. The outfits are all age-appropriate (nothing too short or low cut).
Models bring a variety of outfits (at least six) to their portfolio and headshot session, and then I help them select the very best that will result in great images that showcase their unique beauty and personality.
Their hair is natural, and make up is none or minimal.
We shoot each outfit in a different location, all in and around my studio.
BTW, this isn’t just for models! If your are looking for an amazing experience for your tween/teen girl, or a “Top Model” type shoot for your High School Senior, this is a great option!
Example one – Lucia:
Example Two: Isabella
(Standard Sessions have 10 – 12 images, +Plus sessions have 15 images)

Denver modeling portfolio late last year. Ami (child model) and Sarah (mom) came well prepared to their model portfolio session; Before our shoot, Sarah sent me a link to Ami’s IG feed, so that I could see Ami and start getting ideas on what sort of looks we would do for her portfolio. As you can see, her photos turned out FAB! Check out her photos and her interview:
Denver Child Model of the Month – Portfolio and Headshots
First, we’ll hear from Ami’s mom Sarah, and then we’ll hand it over to Ami:
- Tell us about yourself, Mom:
My name is Sarah Redd, I’m 33 & I’m from Houston TX. I have 3 children ages 11, 8, and 4. Basically that leaves me with zero free time. When I do find a few moments to my self, I love to cook! Our family is extremely active and we love hiking, snowboarding, climbing 14ers, and trying new restaurants!
- Tell us about yourself, Ami:
My name is Amoris Bigler-Redd (Ami B.) age 11
My favorite things are distance running in track & field, cross country, and triathlon training! My cross country team is the 2015 USATF XC National Champs! I dream of running a marathon & hope to run the marathon in the Olympics!
- Ami what is something about you that surprises people? What do your friends say about you?
People are surprised I want to run so far. Not many kids my age like running any distance. The farther the distance, the better I do. I currently like to run 10k’s the best. I love any sport that requires endurance. I just started training for youth triathlons. My friends don’t get it I guess. They like gymnastics and dance. My sport is other sports’ punishment, but I love it.
My friends think I’m funny and good at acting!
- Ami, What made your interesting in modeling? What sort of experience have you had so far?
I’ve always wanted to be a fitness model because I have an eight pack, I’m flexible, and I think I’m pretty! I also love working out! I love working on my core and spin class! I feel comfortable in front of people & I’m not shy.
I’ve had a few modeling opportunities but couldn’t do them because it was cross country season. That’s my first priority – my cross country running.
- Sarah and Ami, why did you pick Natascha Lee Studios for your Ami’s modeling headshots?
Wilhelmina, one of the world’s top modeling agencies, recommended Natascha Lee Studios because they are the best in town for model headshots!
- Ami, was there anything you were nervous or worried about before the session?
Not at all – I wasn’t nervous or scared for the photo session. I was very excited!
- Ami, how did the actual photo session go? What was your favorite part?
The photo session went great! Natascha and her assistant were very nice and made me feel comfortable. I am a little sensitive to the sun but they explained it’s common for kids with light hair and eyes. They had techniques for me to do when I was posing outside so the sun didn’t affect my eyes as much.
My favorite part of the session was when I got to pose. I love posing!!!
- Any advice to other models before their photo sessions?
Have confidence yourself. Have fun with it and don’t worry about anything!
- How did you feel/what did you think when received your images?
My photos came out amazing – I was so happy. My parents couldn’t have been happier either!
- If you could have any superpower, which one would it be and why?
If I had a superpower, it would be to save people. I love to do good things for people because I’m kind and caring!

Happy New Year from your Denver Yoga Photographer! I can still say that even tho’ it’s already Jan 25th, right?
January has started with plenty of Denver Yoga Photography and here is one of my favs: I’m thrilled to introduce you to Macy of Hungry Yoga, a local Denver Yoga Teacher and Small Business Owner. Macy was so so cute. A little backstory – I usually have people give me two or three levels of smiles when I do then portraits- small smile, medium smile and big smile. That’s because it’s hard to keep a big (real) smile on your face for an entire photo session. And also because it’s interesting to have a variety of expressions. Miss Macy is so darn happy that she told me “I just can’t smile small.” I love it! Big heart, big smile.
Here is a bit more about her, her Denver business, and what it was like to have a Yoga portrait session with Natascha Lee Studios:
1. Macy, tell us about yourself and your business:
Hey There ; ) My name is Macy Migchelbrink and I love teaching yoga, eating psychology, and lifestyle design. My personal business is Hungry YOGA, where I coach specifically women who emotionally eat or binge eat, develop a positive relationship with food and body through mindful movement, healthy thought patterns, and lifestyle changes. I also teach private therapeutic yoga at Ascent Therapy Clinic, employee wellness yoga at the City of Lakewood, chair yoga at Concordia Assisted Living, and Teen Yoga at Maha Soul Yoga Studio.
I believe that every BODY can do yoga, a person just has to find the right teacher and class that works best for them, at that stage in life.
2. What do you love the most about your job?
I love helping people feel better in the present moment. Seeing instant relief without giving a person anything outside of themselves; just their breath and body, is super powerful. I’m grateful that I get to work in so many different places around the beautiful city of Denver. I have students as young as 14 and as old as 93. Working in a physical therapy clinic allows me to take a more therapeutic and medical approach, and teaching teen yoga allows me to be more fun and playful. My biggest passion is helping women develop a positive body image and learn how to love food again!
3. What is your favorite style of yoga and why? Are there certain yoga teachers that you love and/or influence you?
My training at Yoga Garden SF empowered me to teach my own style of yoga. Their alignment-based hatha yoga teacher training originates from the teachings of Krishnamacharya, the teacher of B.K.S. Iyengar (Iyengar yoga), Pattabhi Jois (Ashtanga yoga) and T.V.K. Desikachar (viniyoga). This gave me a solid foundation of technical excellence combined with philosophical depth, enabling me to teach from my heart center.
I have to give credit to my first teachers Sonya Genel, Jonathan Issac, and Jean Mazzei for giving my the strong teaching foundation that I have.
Kathryn Budig has always been a powerhouse inspiration to me “aiming true” to my highest self, and I’ve attended many of her classes and workshops the last couple years at Yoga Journal LIVE in Estes Park, CO and whenever she’s in the Denver area I’m sure to support her.
Lastly, one of Denver’s finest teachers Lindsey Gonzales and her business Breathe on Board is someone who I have started to follow, like, and take her classes. She’s a teacher and trainer at Kindness Yoga, my home studio.
4. During the session, what was your experience like?
Natascha was awesome! She made me feel super comfortable in front of the camera, and told me exactly how to prepare properly for the shoot. She is very down to earth, and amazing at what she does. I loved the fact that she wanted to take some selfies with me too! I will recommend her to anyone that need professional photography done for their business or family.
5. If you could have any superpower, what would it be?
I would teleport back to the 70s. Yep. Because it was an era full of love, groovy music, and straight hair : )
