If you are a new model with little to no experience, you do not need a professional portfolio to submit to agencies. Many state on their websites that professional pictures are not necessary and some even say they will only look at non professional pictures. You are better off having someone take digital, non professional snapshots of you. At minimum you'll need a headshot, full body shot and full body profile shots.
First do a search for modeling agencies in your city/state and visit their websites. They will state most times what type of photos they are looking for. Save your time and money and only submit digital snapshots at this point.
Once you are signed, the agency will arrange your first test shoot for putting together your portfolio.

Should model agencies charge?
By law modeling agencies are not allowed to charge their models anything. The only way an agency is able to make money off of the models it represents is by taking a commission from each paying gig they book for them. Agencies should not charge you directly for putting together a portfolio or for taking modeling classes. If you do end up paying for your portfolio you will be paying the photographer, not the agency. It is totally fair for agencies to take a commission for their part in finding a model paid work but not for any other reason.
