My first shoot with this talented young lady. Petra’s pre shoot communications are superb, readily understanding our brief for the shoot Petra provided excellent feedback on my mood board.

On shooting day Petra was punctual, enthusiastic and brought a good range of styles to meet the concept. Petra is great fun to work with and looks stunning on camera. Her posing, style and ‘look’ are all fab and Petra was superbly quick in picking up on my wacky posing ideas. I am blown away by our images and can’t wait to work with Petra again!!!

I heartily recommend Petra to colleagues.

Thanks again for an epic day Petra.

Well what can i say I'm losing count of how many times I've shot with Petra now but everytime is unique fun and inspiring, we always make the best images from our photoshoots. Petra is always on time, always has ideas and comes prepared every time, she is so much fun and a shear delight to work with, I can hardly wait till our next shoot. She is a totally awesome model, a true professional one who works with you and is dedicated to making the images work, I simply can't recommend her enough just book her, do it now she is awesome.

Petra modelled for our small group of enthusiast photographers.

Although we operate in a makeshift 'studio' - a conference room during the day, and our group consists of photographers with a range of skills and ideas - this didn't phase Petra at all. Quickly grasping the concepts and ideas presented - she delivered for each of the attending photographers, quickly adapting to each of their styles. A great sense of humour too!

Whilst I only grabbed a handful, of frames across two sets, really pleased with the results.

We parted discussing plans for a more creative, experimental, shoot.

Highly recommended, and I look forward to working together again.

Loved shooting with Petra - had a long shoot with her for 6 hours and it went so quickly. Great pre-comms and she arrived ready to go despite the silly hot weather!

She was funny, wonderful and drop dead gorgeous. We had a 1:1 shoot first and she is such a great model and super fun to work with. Then we had a workshop I was teaching and she was fantastic with all the photographers there.

The photos have come out amazingly well and I would highly recommend her both for 1:1 shoots and for workshops in the future. Looking forward to working with Petra again soon!

The second of two shoots. Everything I said before still applies. Arrived early with a great selection of on-brief clothes, looked stunning and a genuine pleasure to work with throughout. At some point she learnt to read my mind, adopting the poses I wanted before I was able to describe them – another indication of what a fabulous model she is. Book her now, so you can say you worked with her before she became famous.

First of two half-day shoots I booked with Petra over a weekend. Great comms, arrived early, made-up and ready to roll. How often do you manage to start shooting before the planned start time? That’s indicative of what a great, professional attitude she has. Lovely to work with, brings her own ideas as well as following the pre-agreed brief and direction, fantastic posing. Always focused on the job, but happy to chat and have a laugh too. Left me really looking forward to our second shoot.

I had the pleasure of working with Petra at Rochester Studios today, as part of a group shoot. Petra was easy to work with, being friendly, relaxed and keen to work for the success of the shoot. Her posing flowed easily, with or without direction. She came with a good selection of outfits so we were spoilt for choice.

I came away with a good selection of pleasing images. I'd be happy to work with Petra again.

I had the pleasure to work with Petra today after my studio booked her for a portfolio builder day. With six people booked in over two four hour sessions we had a range of abilities but Petra adapted to working with all of them with absolute ease, taking direction when given by the more experienced people and moving between poses without direction for the less experienced. All off the guests left very pleased with what they taken and made my job of running the day easy.

Petra is a delight to work with, friendly, easy going, and fun. Add into that a fantastic look, and she adds up to a very highly recommended model.

Thank you for making the day such a great success Petra.

This week I had the huge pleasure of working with Petra. My friend had recommended her and she replied quickly when I asked if we could do a shoot. Communications were good throughout and we decided to shoot in the very pretty grounds of Kearsney Abbey near Dover (Highly recommended btw and free parking!). Petra is simply a delight to work with - she has classic model looks and stature - reminding me of the likes of Jean Shrimpton. She poses effortlessly and with real grace so it is almost impossible to get a bad shot! In fact my dilemma was which ones to choose out of several hundred terrific pics.

On top of all this she is really pleasant and chatty. Her stunning looks are the icing on the cake!

I hope to work with Petra again soon. Thanks for a great day Lovely!

I had been following Petra for a while on Instagram, really liked her posts and then messaged to ask if she like to shoot with me - very pleased to say she did.

Pre comms were great, we arranged to shoot in her home town of Canterbury with a mixture of urban and fashion looks. Petra was bang on time ready to shoot within minutes and poses with little or no direction.

Petra is very friendly, easy to get on with, funny, completely professional and on top of all this is stunning!

An exceptional model whom I am very happy to Recommend 100%!

Thanks Petra, here's to our next shoot.

Photoshoot number 2 with Petra who is such a delight to work with. This shoot was an epic bath-shoot production with four changes / sets. Working with me and with Linda Cunningham The Perfume Bottle Stylist, Petra looked amazing through the discomfort of a protracted bath, chilling water, tons of glitter and a truckload of foliage! What a star!

What a super model, I have wanted to shoot with Petra for ages and finally it happened, we had a great laugh she models perfectly with or without direction and can't wait to work with her again.

My dream would be to have a little Petra in my pocket that i could get out every time i needed an awesome model to shoot with...

my 2nd shoot with the girl with legs to die for...and as before a joy to work with. Punctual, lovely and full of joy.

DO NOT hesitate to book Petra as she WILL NOT disappoint.

Second Shoot with PEtra, this time a woodland shoot with a quick lingerie session. As before excellent coms etc. This young lady is always enthusiastic, great attitude and a natural beauty. SO good that no editing is needed which is a bonus in my view. This young lady is capable of going far, far better than my abilities. I wish her well in the future.

Petra is young, beautiful and enthusiastic. I had a shoot with her during which she was endlessly pleasant and helpful. She enjoys being creative and we took some really great photos. I am very pleased with the images we created and I would be delighted to work with her again. And hope to as well. I highly recommend her.

Shot with Petra on an extremely hot day in sunny Dover.

I would definitely recommend Petra to anyone. Communication before the shoot was consistent and we understood what we were each looking for from the shots. Petra arrived on time and was both very kind and up for the shoot, as well as posing really well and being just as into taking great photos as I was.

Super pleased with the photos, and hopefully we'll shoot again sometime!
