A portfolio can be either digital or a traditional printed collection of images. I'm going to go out on a limb and say you should have one of each. A printed collection of images isn't going to be as dynamic as a digital one--that is, it will be more difficult, costly and time consuming to make changes to it--but it's the sort of thing you want to have on hand when meeting a potential client in person.
Choosing the images
Hopefully if you've gotten this far in your photography you've already begun to specialize. This simply means that you have a common theme or style in your work. As a photographer, you don't need to limit yourself to only photographing weddings or only photographing children--but if you do both you should have a portfolio for each type of work.
Process of elimination
Choosing portfolio images should be by process of elimination. Once you know which theme you're going to focus on for portfolio number one, you should go through all the images you have in that theme and select the ones that stand out. Then send these images to a cheap photo processing place and have them printed at 4x6. Now spread them out on your living room floor and start being brutal
Presentation
If you do decide to go with a printed portfolio, you need to have a good-quality portfolio case to present your images in.
Conclusion
Remember that you're not stuck with your portfolio--you're going to grow as a photographer and your portfolio will grow, too. For now, simply put together the best portfolio you can for this point in your photography career, and then let it evolve from there
