I have worked a few times with Barb, and, every single time without fail, I have loved every minute of it! Barb is always full of great ideas, really easy to work with, and also really genuine and caring in her approach!

We have created some amazing images together, which speaks volumes of Barb and the qualities that she brings to the table, and I am so grateful that Barb enjoys working with me also.

I am so excited for our future Shoots together, and I would highly recommend Barb to anybody!

I was lucky enough to work with Barb and Malc at their incredible studio, after meeting them over the summer at The Dorothy Clive Gardens.

I had the most wonderful time, enjoying every moment.

Barb and Malc are an absolute pleasure to work with, talented photographers and caring hosts.

I love the atmosphere at the studio and cant thank them enough for inviting me to work with them.

Looking forward to another shoot soon, and am glad to have met such lovely creatives.

I've worked with Barbara a number of times now, and twice in the last few months, together with her husband Malcolm, where they have welcomed me at the stunning Dorothy Clive Gardens, their home and recently in their old mill studio space which was fabulously rustic.

She is a delight to model for, extremely professional, friendly, thoughtful and kind. Herself and Malc are considerate and easy going, often bringing along lots of beautiful props and clothing, as well as drinks and snacks!

I really enjoy shooting with Barbara, with her joyful enthusiasm for photography, and her positive feedback and encouragement of collaboration, it makes for a fantastic shoot.

I would be happy to work with her anytime and can certainly recommended her to others! :-)

I was hired again today by Barbara and Malcolm in Catchlight Pic's new Studio, and what an absolutely fantastic afternoon it was.

As always, Barbara and Malcolm were fully stocked on refreshments, costumes, and, of course, imagination! They have some wonderful sets created in the old flour mill that they have acquired, and they have lots of ideas to go along with them. They truly are the definition of creatives!

Barbara was, and always is, an absolute pleasure to work with. She is so wonderfully caring, and has a real eye for what works and what doesn't in an image. She is more than capable of creating her own idea as well as more than happily going along with yours - a true recipe for perfection.

I truly can't wait to work with Malcolm and Barbara again in their new studio.

Thank you so much, Barbara. Very highly Recommended, as always! x

I've really enjoyed the shoot with Barbara and Malcolm, there are a wonderful lovely couple, open to ideas and very easy going.

I look forward to working with you both again and very highly recommended!

Kind regards,

Another reference for Barb! Purely because this was purely HOSTED by Barb and her husband,, Malcolm, rather than actually a shoot with them both.

Catchlight Pics Hosted a club event at Dorothy Clive Gardens this evening, and what a pleasant experience it was! Dorothy Clive looked immaculate and was so full of colour due to all the flowers, and Barb and Malcolm were on absolute top form playing host and hostess!

Barbara was careful to make sure everyone was happy and catered for, and was also willing to share her expertise with all the attendees.

I was hired to model and work with all in attendance, and the club were an absolute delight - even though some had never shot a model before!

I am so excited for the next club night, and I am even more excited for my future plans with Barb and Malc!

I have said it before and I will happily say it again...

Barbara is such a wonderful woman!

Barb is kind, caring, incredibly supportive and has a fabulous keen eye for detail. Barb, and her husband, Malcolm, are among my absolute favourite people to work with, and luckily for me they are so incredibly close by!

During this shoot, it was rather cold (it being the UK and the middle of March) and Barb was constantly ensuring my well being was the highest of priorities.

Her pre and post shoot comms are wonderful, and she is easily one of the most relaxed and laid back photographers I have ever worked with. What a total pleasure!

We also discussed a second shoot while I was there, and I hope there will be many more in the future! Thank you, Barb!

Barbara is a wonderful woman. Polite, talkative and incredibly caring.

I have shot with her and Malcolm a couple of times at a local club event, and have been incredibly impressed with the images they have both created.

Though she allows models to go with their own flow, her direction is clear and precise which makes shooting with Barbara a breeze.

Thank you so much, Barbara. I can’t wait till next time xx

I have shot with Barb a few times now. Each shoot is creative and rewarding, Barb is lovely, genuine and kind women who makes you feel at ease straight away and throughout the shoot. I honestly couldn't think of a bad thing to say about Barb I can reccomend her to anyone 100%. Great photos and great company, what more could you want?

Thanks,

Viv

I had my first shoot with Barb and her husband today, it was a really enjoyable and fun shoot.

We had good communication before and during the shoot.

Barb and her husband are really nice to work with and make you comfortable and relaxed.

I'm looking forward to having another shoot with them both in the near future.

I would recommend them to all models. 😊

I had the pleasure of a fun and productive part studio, part location shoot with Malc and Barb at their lovely home, and can't speak highly enough of them.

I already knew they were both very lovely, and extremely professional, knowledgeable and talented from previous live gig shoots done with my band Venus Rising, and today further showed me how comfortable they make models feel, how considerate they are checking you're comfortable and relaxed, and even offered cake with a cuppa!

Communication, as always, was excellent, and they were very understanding when I needed to reschedule for reasons beyond my control. They had an assortment of lovely clothes and accessories that we mixed and matched with what I took, and great ideas for beautiful locations and pose suggestions. We got through various outfits, backdrops and locations in the nearby gardens (never once complaining about the rain!), and offered to show me all the images on the viewfinder. I was very impressed with what I saw and so excited to see the images when they're ready!

I wholeheartedly recommend them to anyone and am delighted they suggested working together again in the near future.

Thank you so much for a fabulous day guys! Xx :)

I've done two shoots with Barb so far, and they were an absolute pleasure, pre shoot comms were great and Barb brought some excellent props and outfits to contribute to the shoot.

Barb managed to source some amazing locations, and I was extremely pleased with the results we achieved on the shoot, Barb is friendly, professional and very passionate about her photography.

It's been a joy to work with you, and I can highly recommend her to any model : )

Hope to work together again soon,

All the best,

Viv
