Sarah was good enough to stand in for a last minute casting and I’m so glad she did. Very friendly and easy to work with, thoroughly professional, and needs absolutely no direction. It was a real pleasure to shoot with Sarah, and will definitely look to do so again in the future.

An amazing outdoor second shoot with Sarah. There were a few logistical problems, (such as car parking, lots of onlookers and mud!), which Sarah rose above and this ensured we got many fantastic exquisite images. Communication before the shoot was very clear and thorough.

Sarah is very professional, a pleasure to work with and maintains absolute focus on the task in hand, whilst staying placid. In addition, Sarah suggested some great themes / backgrounds I had overlooked.

100% recommended, definitely want to work with Sarah again.

Had a fantastic shoot with Sarah today. Great professionalism, communication and punctuality. Sarah's ability to create exactly the right pose continuously throughout the shoot was excellent. Natural and fun.

Would definitely work with Sarah again and highly recommend.

It's was lovely to shoot at Sarah's home always takes me a few minutes to get an eye for shots and we were off. I was greeted by a beautiful lady superbly presented and with a lovely collection of outfits. Sarah was at all times very hospitalable and very capable of posing freely with or without prompts. We got some great shots and I can't recommend her highly enough. We are already planing another time to shoot. Thank you so much for a lovely time.

Been shooting Sarah now for about 2 years and from the first shoot she has always made a massive impression on me. She is always beautifully presented always full of ideas never fails with outfits and just works to the camera amazingly. I love shooting with her she is full of fun and excitement. Top model, highly recommended, book her she is a must in anyone's profile.

It was not my intention to shoot so soon after our very successful shoot last week, but an opportunity unexpectedly presented itself and circumstances dictated that either I do it now or not for a long time. At short notice Sarah very graciously made the time for a 3 hour shoot to work with the outfits we couldn't get to last time.

No time for lengthy pre-shoot comms, just a brief outline plan from me, but Sarah came fully prepared and ready to shoot. She was her usual committed, dedicated, enthusiastic and cheerful self. It is so easy to work with Sarah and together we produced a huge set of images with which I am very pleased.

Highly recommended without any hesitation.

Another enjoyable shoot with Sarah, this time trying out different lighting set ups and some new outfits.The pre-comms were good; Sarah arrived promptly with everything I had requested and with her make-up done perfectly - again as requested.

Sarah has a very professional attitude and it is so easy to work with someone who is as dedicated to their work as she is. We managed to get in more sets that I had originally planned for but, as always when enjoying yourself, the time just slips by and our 4 hours were up far too soon. Still on the upside some of the new outfits were not used so we will have to have another shoot quite soon. :-)

I highly recommend Sarah without reservation.

Sarah is truly a hard working model who strives to produce the shots your after in a positive and productive way. She has a great personality which makes it easier for the shoot to flow. In this session which was our second we started off on location shooting gym wear with a clothing change. We then headed to my studio where she had the patience of a saint whilst we tried to adjust lighting in tiny steps.

Highly recommended and already planning a third shoot.

What a lovely person to work with.

Sarah was the consummate professional, from the moment we first made contact, right the way through the shoot itself. Loads of great poses and took direction really well.

It was one of those moments when you meet someone who just clicks and makes the shoot easy. I have already booked her for another shoot for one of my workshops in October.

Very highly recommended.

David Amphlett

Sarah is intelligent, considered, absolutely charming and has an extremely professional approach. Communication was first class throughout the whole prep phase from first contact right up until the shoot. Timely and clear at all times. She hunted down a couple of specific items which were right on brief and brought plenty of clothes options with her. On the shoot Sarah was extremely easy to work with and put in maximum effort to get the shot, contributing ideas and following direction well. Our shoot required quite a lot of walking between locations and the weather wasn’t always on our side but she still gave it go.

Absolute pleasure to work with, I know we’ve created some great images and highly recommended.

My second shoot with Sarah and like the first planned route, the weather was a key factor however despite lack of light, we had planned what we were hoping to achieve. Partly successful on one part and hugely succesful on the main part. she was a little bit under the weather but like a true trooper she was, she soldiered on producing for me some excellent shots to remember.

Can I recommend Beyond the Brief. Course I can.

We had planned a location fashion styled shoot but as usual the weather messed around. Threatening rain and with my planned use of portable lighting caused a bit of "shall we, shan't we?" until we went for it. And we got lucky as the weather cooperated with some sun and no rain.

Sarah's pre-shoot comms were excellent and she arrived bearing some new kit plus the items we had discussed earlier. The plan was to use an abandoned concrete structure as a runway as in a fashion show. Sarah is a pleasure to work with; strutting down the runway with the best of them, working hard to get the shot and coping well with all the uncertainty of working on location.

Looking forward to our next shoot and highly recommended.

I had a last minute shoot with Sarah and it was brilliant.

Sarah is a beautiful model, she can pose on her own and she can take directions well if needed.

The shoot went very well we had fun and we manage to shoot different outfits that we choose together which were beautiful.

I really recommend shooting with Sarah to any photographer and I am looking forward to working with her again.

Thank you Sarah.

I had my first shoot with Sarah today. I can't recommend her enough. Sarah was an absolute joy to work with and be around, she is very easy going and gave 100% to the shoot, I look forward to working with her again soon. I 100% recommend her.

Sarah is a confident strong lady who is great fun to work with. Pre-comms were flawless and she arrived make-up ready with a bronzed tanned body.

We made our way through a number of sets and costume changes with Sarah really getting into the groove of the shoot. The images so far show just how hard she worked and Im looking forwards to working with her again.

Highly recommended from me.

Sarah arrived promptly with all that I asked her to (and more). It is such a pleasure to work with her. Full of energy and enthusiasm, poses well, is very responsive to directions and frequently contributes positive suggestions to enhance the shoot.

Highly recommended without any hesitation.

I had a wonderful shoot earlier this evening, shot around Hawley Lake in Farnborough, Hants. It was agreed that I would pick her up. We got to the vvenue as the light deteriorated quite rapidly so a lot of the earlier shots who a bit under exposed. We knew from earlier discussions what the poses were to be. Sarah accommodated me in every way a model can. In the end the weather turned to rain but that did not dampen her spirits. I can thoroughly recommend Beyond the Brief because you will get a well disciplined model, as well as fun to shoot with. Did I mention this was my first flying solo?

I contacted BtB via her IG, not realising she was on here.. This young lady may be new to modelling but there's really no way to tell. Shoot planning and pre-comms were excellent, the shoot plan really was there was no shoot plan! We had a few ideas that were in the back of our minds, also a location that might work.

Sarah arrived on time, well prepared and ready to go with a great wardrobe selection. An initial chat decided that we would shoot a location and the work in the studio with other options after. Sarah adapted perfectly to the location and was completely at home in the studio... The time flew by, we didn't get out of the studio again...

This lady is so worth working with, she has a fresh mind and uses it! I thoroughly recommend her, she is soon going to be one very busy lady!

Steven McCormick

Arrived on time with the agreed selection of dresses, comms before and after the shoot top rate, quick and prompt. Nice and easy approach, good suggestions, couldn't ask for more. Certainly will book again, a pleasure to work with.

PeterB109

An excellent shoot with Beyond The Brief. Best described as buzzing. She is so full of infectious enthusiasm it makes the time fly by so quickly. Easy to work with, easy to chat to, she poses well and accepts direction gracefully; it is an absolute pleasure to work with her. Our next shoot is already at the planning stage.

Recommended without hesitation.

P.S. Forgot to say that pre-shoot comms were excellent
