What can I say about my first shoot with Arabella... only in as much as it had taken its sweet time for me to get round to sorting it out!! Arabella and I had been chatting on here and Facebook on and off for ages, so I'd like to think we'd get on pretty well on a shoot together. I had also learned, while chatting, she was originally from Essex and moved up to Derby... so common ground and a love for creativity in common... things were looking up for the shoot...

... and a few months ago I knew I had free time in September coming up, so ventured an offer for a shoot. After quick negotiations we arrived at a full day in her area. So I travelled up the day before, overnighted in a lovely b&b Arabella recommended... this young lady is a font of amazing information about her area. She even scouted a couple of locations prior to the shoot! I was blown away with Arabella's knowledge and passion for her job, and all this was during coms before we'd even got to the shoot day!!

On the day of the shoot I wandered round to be treated with a huge smile and cup of tea to finalise plans before we headed to the location... And what a location it was!! I had also surprised Arabella with an outfit that I had not seen her in before, on her port, which she immediately lit up with and grabbed a few things to add to the look.

While on location Arabella posed beautifully and due to the distance between us kept the poses flowing smoothly with just enough time for adjustments, if it was needed, to correct for the variable sunlight/shade mix we had all day. This allowed me to shoot without having to worry about asking her to go back and try again. During the sets I asked for feedback and Arabella gladly gave it with ideas to tweak the shot if there was something not working, that I'd missed myself.

All in all the day roared by far too quickly to be fair. Though I'm glad I'd booked a full day and not a few hours! This young lady is amazing!! I will certainly be looking at another shoot in the near future with her. Highly recommended whatever level of photographer you may be!

Thank you again for a fantastic day and brilliant shoot. Marc xxx

I shot with Arabella in her lovely home which has amazing natural light which gave great atmosphere to the images we made both digitally and on film 😁

Arabella is a great host and being a photographer herself as well as a very experienced model makes her a wonderful collaborator. She was happy to experiment with film and Polaroid and just have fun playing around to see what images we could make together.

The shoot was top notch and I now have the added pleasure of working in the darkroom with the images we shot on film.

So along with the other hundreds of people who have left references I can only HIGHLY recommend her and look forward to working with her again.

Home shoot with Arabella was fantastic , having a knowledge about photography we just sat and discussed the topic for some time before the shoot. Arabella was very easy to work with and we traded ideas and I got some great images, look forward to working with her again

I booked Arabella for one of her tutorial lessons / shoot. What can I say other than it was an absolute delight to work with her. As I was learning a new style she took her time and showed me different lighting techniques and allowed me to experiment with different ideas as we went along. Her home was lovely and comfy, and Arabella was so warm and welcoming and chatty. The time just flew by and I managed to get some lovely shots. I defiantly hope to work with her again. 100% recommend for anyone who is looking for a beautiful experienced model with great personality.

It took me three years to get in touch with Arabella after the previous two other shoots. Now angry with myself for leaving it so long between shooting as everytime I have worked with her she is a 'gem' model. I never fail to get good images working with her and she is so professional. A premium model for me one of the best on PP. I would highly recommend!

Booked Arabella for a second time following a previous successful shoot at her home. The shoot was on location and was also shared between myself and a friend of mine who is new to model photography.

Arabella was ready on time and had the styling ready which had been previously discussed in excellent precoms.

Despite some location difficulties my friend and I had a most enjoyable shoot in a local park.

Arabella posed effortlessly with both grace and variety. She was most welcoming to my friend and was consistently helpful and professional.

We both achieved some great images and I thoroughly recommend Arabella to other photographers.

Shot with Arabella for the second time yesterday. She's a pleasure to work with - fun and hardworking and has plenty of ideas. In the space of two hours we managed a variety of looks and lighting setups and I'm very happy with how the shoot went.

I had my first shoot with Arabella on her studio day at Natural Light Spaces.

We had been trying to work together for some time and the wait was definitely worth it as I had a very enjoyable shoot.

Arabella is extremely friendly and easy to work with and helped me get some beautiful images with her creative input.

Lets hope I get the opportunity to work with her again :)

Worked with Arabella for the first time yesterday, at Natural Light Spaces.

Had a really lovely shoot.

Arabella was really friendly and easy to work with, had lots of ideas for shots and looked absolutely stunning!

We got some really beautiful images.

I would love to work together again in the future :)

If you've looked at Arabella's pictures and are now weighing up whether to work with her, let me save you some time by saying JUST BOOK HER !

I can give you two reasons to work with her, (1) results - you've seen the pictures... (2) How enjoyable it is getting the pictures.

Arabella's earned the reputation of being one of the best models here, and you don't do that unless you're good to work with: things before had all the signs which say "professional", and when the shoot started Arabella had the instant rapport that all the best models seem to have.

The pictures from our shoot were good enough that I wouldn't minded if a model was difficult but working with Arabella was enjoyable enough that I would put up with so-so pictures. When you feel you've got great results and a had great time getting them all you can do is recommend the model wholeheartedly.

Precise , elegant , well organised.....are not normally attributes I would say my shoots follow , Im much of a rambler , it looks good , go with it , hang on backup a bit that pose was amazing (albeit the poor model is probably up a tree or something).

well today Arabella took my photography and me and stood me on my head.

She was the epitome of calm, well thought out , great comms , and smiled all the way through even when Im sure my belt failed and I was wriggling about on the floor with my trousers getting lower and lower (I'm very gangsta me).

Stunning posing, great look and someone who is extremely comfortable in front of the lens.

Loads of planning went into our time together,

Me: Is that slot still available tomorrow?

Arabella: Yes would you like it?

Me: Hell yes.

Arabella: What do you want to shoot?

Me: We'll know when I've shot it, I just want to shoot with you again :-)

That was about it really. I went we had some giggles (I still haven't made her giggle while she's posing yet, she's ruining my rep of getting great outtakes) got about 150 shots in an hour and all but the lighting test shots are superb. She is a great poser (I think that's a compliment for a model) and highly professional. There are not many that even come close to this young ladies ability, looks and manner. Any photographer will improve their portfolio with a shoot with Arabella.

Get her booked, she's outstanding in every-way.

TY Arabella and I can't wait to shoot with you again (planned before the year is out)

I had my first shoot today with Arabella at a studio day at Natural Light Spaces.

Arabella's pre shoot communications were excellent.

Shooting with Arabella is a great experience and definitely not one to be missed.

Arabella is very friendly and glides between poses with great ease.

Our shoot was incredibly productive and I left wishing that we were shooting for longer.

I'm shooting with Arabella again in October and I'm looking forward to it.

Second shoot with Arabella - and again on location at one of her fabulous and well-researched secret locations.

Everything flowed perfectly from the initial contact, planning, during the shoot and after - as you would expect with a model as accomplished as Arabella.

Love working with this lady for her creative input, fabulous expressions and elegance of posing.

Would I recommend her? Yes, unreservedly

Would I shoot again? Yes - the next shoot is already booked

Thanks for a fab shoot! See you soon......

Arabella came back to shoot a job she initially came to purely test the concept for.

We decided she was the best model for the main gig. She was superb, although it was a simple shoot in theory these jobs are rarely like that and she was able to repeat shots exactly and solve problems with the products as needed. This was video shoot and great skills realy show, I will be very happy to have her back for other client work.

Just returned from a wonderful shoot with Arabella. Pre-commms were great, she is a wonderful, engaging lady and poses with finesse and class. The hours flew by and I am very happy with the results. Highly recommended! Very beautiful and fantastic poses.

Had a great water location shoot with Arabella and Paige, they had sorted the location and came very well prepared and were not frighten to get wet.

Max Kay

I had a group shoot with Arabella & Paige Antonia at a waterfall, both ladies were quite happy to get wet, in the cold river water and produced some wonderful images. Luckily the Sun came out and warmed us all up. But that was a blessing in disguise as it gave us lighting opertunities and brought out the walkers, luckily it was not the school holidays

I would happily recommend both Arabella and Paige Antonia singularly or as a Duo.

I shot the "Waterfalls & Ruins with Arabella & Paige Antonia", both ladies were a joy to work with. Arabella was quite happy to get wet, cold English river water and produced some wonderful images.

I would recommend Arabella and will defiantly be booking her for a solo shoot in the future.

This was my 3rd photo shoot with Arabella and my most adventurous shoot to date. It differed from the previous two shoots in that we arranged to do some outdoor location fashion shots, I'd done not an outdoor shoot done before, but it worked fine and I got some great shots. We followed that up with an indoor art-nude home shoot and again I got some really great results.

Arabella was as usual well prepared, able to achieve the right pose with minimal input from myself. Arabella always puts 110% into what she does and the results (not just mine) speak for themselves. Fully recommended.
