Creative Modeling Photography & Model Reels in Southern Pennsylvania & Northern Maryland
For aspiring models, a strong modeling portfolio is crucial, serving as both a resume and a showcase of talent and style. Whether you’re just starting your journey or looking to refine your image, having high-quality photos is essential. Specializing in model photo shoots, Drew Jensen, based out of New Freedom, Pennsylvania, is dedicated to helping models in Southern York County and surrounding areas enhance their portfolios and boost their confidence.
For models who want to show more than still images, PhotoArtGraphy also offers optional modeling videography services. Short model reels, creative video clips, and social-media-friendly videos can help capture movement, expression, personality, styling, and confidence in a way that photographs alone cannot fully show.

Local Convenience & Personalized Service
Convenience is key, especially when it comes to planning photo shoots. Based on the Pennsylvania/Maryland border just off of I-83, Drew offers accessible services for local models. He is available to do a modeling shoot at your home or your location of choice. If you don’t have a specific location in mind, Drew can work with you to determine the best spots for the style of shoot you are seeking. This means less travel hassle and more focus on capturing the perfect shot. PhotoArtGraphy prides itself on providing personalized and attentive service to each client, ensuring a comfortable experience from start to finish.
Drew regularly travels throughout York, Lancaster and Adams counties in Pennsylvania as well as Carroll, Baltimore and Harford counties in Maryland. Drew is also able to travel outside of those areas into the broader Pennsylvania, Maryland and Delaware areas as needed. Drew is also able to travel internationally for shoots.
The Photo Shoot Experience
Building Confidence in Front of the Camera
For many aspiring models, confidence can be the biggest hurdle. At PhotoArtGraphy, Drew Jensen creates a welcoming environment where you can truly express yourself. His supportive approach allows you to relax and enjoy the process, turning nervousness into confidence. Past clients have remarked how Drew’s guidance helped them feel at ease, ultimately improving their poses and expressions.
When video is part of the session, Drew will also help guide simple movement, walking, turns, expression changes, and natural interactions with the environment. The goal is not to make the session feel intimidating, but to help you appear confident, natural, and comfortable on camera.
Portfolio Enhancement for Aspiring Models
A diverse portfolio is vital for standing out in the competitive modeling industry. PhotoArtGraphy assists in curating a collection of professionally shot images that highlight your versatility and individuality. By working with Drew, you can ensure that your portfolio not only meets industry standards but also showcases your distinct personality and style.
Optional modeling video content can add another layer to your portfolio by helping viewers see your presence, movement, confidence, and personality in motion.
Tailored Sessions for Every Model
Customizing the Shoot to Your Style
Understanding your vision is paramount at PhotoArtGraphy. Drew collaborates with each model to customize the shoot according to their style preferences and aspirations. With flexibility in themes, locations, and wardrobe options (which you will be responsible for providing), every session is uniquely tailored to align with your personal brand.
Professional Guidance & Creative Direction
Drew’s role goes beyond just taking pictures; he provides professional guidance on poses, expressions, and styling. This collaborative process ensures that you are comfortable throughout the session and satisfied with the final results. His creative direction helps bring out the best in every model, making each shoot a memorable experience.
If video is included, Drew can also provide direction for natural movement, expression changes, and simple scene-based clips that complement the still images from the session.
Note that with basic modeling photoshoots, to keep the cost manageable each model is responsible for bringing their own wardrobe to the shoot. It is advisable to bring multiple outfits. Each model is also responsible for their own makeup, hair styling, etc. For more complex modeling photoshoots with an adequate budget, a studio or facility in the desired region can be rented and assistants (for hair, makeup, wardrobe) can be hired. If you have any questions, don’t hesitate to ask Drew before the shoot.
Modeling Videography Options
For models, actors, performers, influencers, and creative professionals, video can be a valuable complement to professional photography. While still images show style, posing, and expression, video can help communicate confidence, movement, personality, and presence.
Modeling videography options may include:
- Short model highlight reels
- Creative social media clips
- Behind-the-scenes style video footage
- Movement-based portfolio clips
- Personal branding videos
- Fashion, beauty, or lifestyle-inspired video clips
- Simple introduction or personality videos
These video options can be discussed as part of a custom modeling session and may be especially useful for models who want content for websites, social media, online portfolios, or creative submissions.

Collaborative Modeling Photo Shoots (TFP)
PhotoArtGraphy welcomes inquiries from aspiring models interested in select collaborative modeling photo shoots, sometimes referred to as TFP (Time for Photos) or trade shoots.
These are no-fee creative collaborations in which the model contributes their time and participation in exchange for an agreed-upon selection of professionally edited digital images that can be used to help build or expand their modeling portfolio. PhotoArtGraphy may also use images from the collaboration for portfolio, website, social media, and promotional purposes.
Depending on the concept, availability, and goals of the collaboration, some shoots may also include experimental video clips, short-form video, or creative behind-the-scenes content.
Collaborative shoots are offered selectively based on the creative concept, portfolio needs, scheduling, and availability. Because these projects require a significant investment of photography and editing time, we are unable to accept every collaboration request.
You can also see a recent Collaborative Modeling Photo Shoot with aspiring model Lydia Rice at Ruins Hall in Glen Rock, PA to get a better idea of what one of these creative collaborations can look like.
If you’re interested in being considered for a collaborative modeling photo shoot, please submit our Collaborative Photo Shoot Application and tell us a little about yourself and the type of shoot you have in mind.
We also have a monthly photo shoot giveaway you can enter if you are interested.
