No portfolio as photography is just a hobby.
I would have thought the purpose of a portfolio is to demonstrate ones work in the best light possible so should only consist of the best you have. Should show the breadth and depth of your work demonstrating both technical mastery and the vision of the photographer and contain traditional photographs plus more imaginative ones.
Not too many photographs either, probably twenty maximum. I am sure any potential client will have made their mind up by then and more would be counter productive, if they want to see more they will ask.
I would certainly consider having different portfolios for different clients as long as I was absolutely certain what the client wanted.
