I really am not the best at writing these but here goes, Today after a whole 3 years of messaging(my own fault never getting around to shooting due to family commitments) I got to work with the lovely Cariad and boy was it worth the wait! I've recently started a new project that she really liked the sound of and helped me complete one of those photoshoots, she found the location that worked amazing for what I needed.

followed instructions amazing poses effortlessly and would defiantly give anything a try, also very creative so she helped if she seen anything different.she was very welcoming and very friendly & chatty throughout our photoshoot had a brilliant sense of humour but at the same time very professional, I really couldn't talk more positive about this lady the images just speak for themselves. highly recommended and we will definitely work together again (this time wont take 3 years)

I had the pleasure of my first shoot with Cariad yesterday. She is a delightful and beautiful young lady that also makes a great cup of tea.

We shot art nude at several locations around Aberystwyth which she guided us to. Her posing is awesome and she needs little direction, and she quite happily embraces new ideas. I have just started editing the images, which are everything I could have wished for.

I just wish we had longer to shoot more and will definitely shoot again with Cariad. Highly recommended. Thanks for a great shoot. x

I had the pleasure of shooting with Cariad recently when I travelled to Aberystwyth. She is a delightful young woman to work with, an excellent model, and good company too. We travelled to a secluded lake for the first part of the shoot. The sun was out in its full glory on the morning of the shoot and so a bit of a challenge shooting outdoors at times, but it was so beautiful there and being a hot day Cariad had no hesitation in venturing out in the lake waist deep in a white dress and so it was a blessing that it was a hot sunny day so that the water looked inviting :-) 

The second part of the shoot was at a butterfly house and that was also an enjoyable experience, and educational too. The butterflies took a liking to Cariad and it wasn’t long before they were eating out of her hand … well almost, Cariad had dipped her finger into the honey dips that are provided and they were licking the honey from her finger and so I took some nice memorable pictures of our trip to the butterfly house and then we had a cup of tea at the butterfly café and then later in the afternoon Cariad took me to wonderful quaint organic restaurant in Aberystwyth called the 'Treehouse' and the food was delicious :-) 

It was a real pleasure to work with Cariad and I hope that I get the opportunity of working with her again in the not too distant future … thank you Cariad for a wonderful shoot :-) 

I was so delighted when Cariad returned to modelling after a sojourn as I seriously wanted to work with her and had just missed out before she went away.

Seeing her posted work only partly prepares you for meeting this incredibly beautiful and versatile young lady. Her versatility and ability to be waif-like one minute, coy the next and then instantly transforming to the "sophisticate", making the same outfit look different, is astounding. Her enthusiasm is boundless and I could never ignore her ideas which were always way better than mine!

This shoot was curtailed because of issues from my side (work) and then me slipping over and cracking my head on the day. Cariad was a gem throughout and did everything to make sure I was OK.

An outstanding model and the most wonderful person. I cannot recommend her highly enough.

Cariad, thank you so very much.

I would also add that Aberystwyth is "location heaven"! It might be a way to travel for a lot of people but it will be worth it!

Cariad is a very talented, very versatile young lady. Good comms, arrived to time and ready to go.

She is very patient and helpful, can pose by her self and also work to direction. She has a lovely personality and a face, full of expressions. She also helped this old decrepit photographer set the props.

Cariad, it was a pleasure to work with you. We will meet up again soon.

Arthur.

Think Cariad looks beautiful in her portfolio? Wait until you see her in person because she look so much better in real life. That was my first thought when I met her for the very first time. She brought the gorgeous weather with her to boot!

I immediately found Cariad to be a very warm, gentle, friendly and approachable lady with a great sense of humour. I could have just as happily spent the day talking with her as shooting.

As always, whenever I have the privilege of working with a class act, I find myself wishing the day would last forever.

Even though I have a vintage wardrobe of my own which gives me pleasure to present on almost every shoot, Cariad herself brought along an amazing collection of some of the most beautiful and truly desirable outfits and accessories you could ever wish to see. In addition, she simply floored me with her visual ideas and I just took those and ran with them throughout our various sets.

During our shoot, I discovered Cariad to be as equally passionate and highly gifted in other areas. She was very happy to share with me a few tips regarding modelling and photography which can only stand me in good stead. In addition, she may very well have inspired me to take up gardening as she shared her love and her knowledge on the subject during a couple of our sets in my garden.

She and I have already agreed to another shoot which I am so looking forward to. In the meantime, I wish to leave her with my highest recommendation.

Thank you ever so much Cariad, see you real soon.

I'm a bit lost for words really because I wasn't expecting any of this. I wasn't expecting the shoot. It was a very last minute arrangement, but most of all I wasn't expecting the results we got. First class. Cariad is so versatile that we ended up with a huge range of looks from Hollywood, through vintage all the way through to art nude. Even when we got the art nude Cariad attacked my rope with far more enthusiasm that I could have reasonably expected and I think she may well have still been there swinging on it now if I hadn't stopped her. I'm not a great one with words so for me this is very enthusiastic. I can't find a bad thing to say, Cariad is a lovely person and an equally good model. I am sure we will meet again.

Had a great shoot with Cariad at MAP studios. Cariad poses wonderfully and is extremely graceful. She can bring a hugh range of emotions to all of her shots no matter what style she is shooting.

This was my second shoot with her and it will not be the last.

An absolute pleasure working with Cariad and fellow Welsh model silk yesterday. The girls drove along way and were full of energy and had bags of ideas set for the session. They brought along a huge collection of props and fabrics and knew exactly what the wanted to achieve. This was all very refreshing as it made my time a whole lot easier, just let the girls rock along with the themes. The girls both have fabulous all natural figures that they pose effortlessly and with complete passion. The images look really amazing and I can't rate Cariad highly enough. Cheers C & S.

Had a great shoot with Cariad today at SIIS studio in Leicester. Cariad posed effortlessly and created a series of great shots.

Cariad is beautiful, intelligent and has a great personality.

She is highly recommended and I look forward to shooting with her again in the not too distant future.

I finally got to do a shoot with Cariad yesterday after many attempts at trying finding a convenient date & I wasn't disappointed. Cariad was warm & welcoming, very friendly & chatty throughout our time together, just like I known her for sometime & not meeting her for the first time. She took me to a number of wonderful locations around her area of Wales, at which she posed easily and with little prompting from me, also she was aware of the at times tricky lighting conditions and helped with ideas on over coming these. I have no idea where the time went as the shoot just flew by, but I have some lovely images to show for it.

Cariad is a lovely person and was professional throughout, and I hope to shoot with her again when time permits. Thoroughly recommended :)

Had my first shoot with Cariad at the famous studio in Blackpool - FlashBangWallop.

What a professional model Cariad is, extremely pleasant with a nice sense of humour.

What can be said about this model that hasn't already been said, if you have the chance to work with Cariad you must do so, to not miss out the opportunity.

Thank You Cariad

What a super lady! :) and I was dead chuffed when she said she would come and work with us at our get together at Flash Bang Wallops place, Cariad's pre shoot comms are excellent, she did not disappoint.

Carrie is a posing machine that definitely needs no interference from outside - just give her some chocolate and a drink of water, stand back and watch this power house of a posing machine start up

Carrie is professional, but not adverse to having a giggle, very easy to get along with and extremely photogenic, a really hard worker, brought a few ideas of her own to the table too.

I totally recommend Carrie, you couldn't wish to work with a better model, I would love to cross paths with her again.

sooner rather than later

We traveled from the South coast for this shot with Cariad and she did not disappoint.

We had a full day shoot with Cariad around the Mid Wales Countryside, she was great. A very nice lady to work with and a real professional model. She really went beyond what we expected of her so that we could get some great images.

Cariad has a lovely figure and she knows how to show it off to full advantage in the most diverse of locations.

I would highly recommend her to any photographer.

I hope to be able to work with her again.

I've just spent a lovely morning shooting with Cariad, in the North Leicestershire countryside. Caz is clearly at home in the great outdoors, and loves to bring her own creativity to the images. She was keen to have a go at anything, whether it was posing on a windy hilltop or crawling along a log resting precariously in a pond. The shoot was an early start as we'd hoped to use the sunrise, Cariad was on time, ready and waiting. Whilst remaining professional, Cariad is very personable, and had endless numbers of stories to tell. (I'm still smiling at the thought of the Aberystwyth Lifeboat being sent to rescue two nude models!). We've got some awesome results from our mornings work, and I cant wait to work with Cariad again. I have no hesitation in recommending Caz to other photographers. As a photographer herself, Caz understood what we were looking to achieve. Thanks again Caz.

Had a shoot with this lovely beautiful bundle of awesomeness on Sunday, and what an adventure it was!! It was long overdue so glad I finally got to shoot with Cariad, definitely worth the wait.

We went to a few lovely locations around our hometown, clambering and climbing over rocks and then rolling around in some beautiful Bluebells.

As a model Carrie is stunning (obviously) and knows how to pose effortlessly. She also does photography herself so knowledge of lighting etc is amazing. We worked some shots together and some separately and I must say just WOW! Book her now, you won't be disappointed she's everything you want and more!

Highly and happily reccomend to everyone.

Thanks again for an awesome day,

can't wait till the next time!

Worked with Cariad and @Silk on my first duo shoot and I could not have worked with a better team. Cariad and Silk were simply awesome together and the whole day flew by as we worked on a number of ideas in and around their beautiful mid-Wales countryside.

We created some wonderful images and I can't wait to work through them.

When working with models, it doesn't get better than this! Thanks Cariad and Silk. Loved working with you both and can't wait to do it again :-)

Cariad is the complete package, everything you could possibly want in a model... gorgeously attractive, a beautiful figure, a repertoire of poses that is second to none and a personality that oozes fun, warmth and friendliness whilst maintaining a hard working, professional approach throughout

Therefore I had no hesitation approaching Cariad when considering a model to work with on one of my most ambitious projects to date, consisting of four challenging locations, working to a tight schedule dependent on tides, light conditions and, as it turned out, a blast of Arctic weather on the day too! Cariad excelled, as I knew she would, turning my planned vision into reality with class and style... bringing her own artistic talent and her eye for composition to the shoot really helped too, challenging me to consider several options I hadn't previously thought about

So in summary, Cariad is an absolute pleasure to work with, definitely a model I want to work with again (soon, I hope!) and heartily recommended by me... thank you for a fabulous and memorable day :-)

Had the most amazing day with Cariad today shooting in two contrasting venues around her home town.

As a very amateur photographer I was very nervous driving down to meet her, but my fears soon disappeared. She is such a lovely, genuine, caring and down to earth young lady. Oh did I mention she is also beautiful and gorgeous. Her passion, energy and commitment to her modelling was so much in evidence. She was so supportive in helping me with set up and poses as well as casting her expert eye on my photos and giving me advise that it made for such a relaxed shoot.

Thank you so much Cariad for a brilliant day. It was a pleasure and honour to work with you. I hope we can work together again very soon.
