Hey!

I'm new here, and curious what types of photos you think my portfolio needs!

Your portfolio needs some shots with a photographer who knows what they are doing.

Agree with the others.  You need a talented photographer to work with you.

Yes, the others have given you great advice, directly to the point. You need to replace what you have with more professional looking shots as soon as you are able to. Selfies pretty much destroy your credibility as being serious about modelling.

Search MM for some photographers in your area whose work you really like, and if you have to, pay one or two of them to get the sort of photos you need to promote yourself.  Having good quality photos makes all the difference since there are hundreds of thousands of other girls trying to get into modelling as well. You can probably even find photographers willing to trade if you ask around, if you do poses/genres they can use then they will shoot the style you need in exchange.

You are quite pretty and have a nice figure, which are very much in your favor, and could work in nearly any genre other than fashion, which you are several inches too short for.

Unfortunately there aren't any photos in your portfolio that show your skills as a model in the way you need to present yourself, but they do show your strong potential to do better work with a good photographer. I wouldn't use any of the current shots once better ones come along, so work on replacing them soon.
