Hmmm, I am not sure what someone would expect. A bio meets C.V. meets client & testimonial/reference list?

Unless you have held formal positions as a staff photographer, then a more traditional resume + portfolio should be fine.

Here are a couple of traditional style resumes:

Here is a resume that reads more like a list of accomplishments & clients:

That does clear some of the things up in my head and im sure that I would be able to get something going off of that. I am actually holding a Staff Photographer Job at a place called PIERE'S ENTERTAINMENT CENTER in fort wayne,IN. but Have not publications...yet.....

Thanks for your time
