I got a chance to shoot with Cariad at Sumers Abroad recent event in Kent. Cariad is an experienced model which is a bonus when shooting as It allows time to focus on refining images. She was very easy to work with, our time together was relaxed and enjoyable.

I would be happy to work with her again in the future.

I had the pleasure of working with Cariad again on another Summers Abroad event 'The Lost Worlds' weekender.

Cariad is so professional to work with. She is happy to try different things, poses effortlessly, is interested in what you are shooting and your ideas, is super friendly, fun to shoot with, is very beautiful and a joy to shoot. She is versatile and looks great in what ever she wears. Caz has a certain grace to her posing and looks fabulous in what ever she does.

Our short time together passed far too quickly but I am looking forward to our next shoot in November.

If you haven't worked with Caz then I recommend you do.

Summers Abroad

We’ve worked with Cariad on numerous events now, both in the UK and abroad, but the most recent one she did for us was ‘The Lost World’

We had an amazing airstream campsite that we just knew Cariad would love and we weren’t wrong! She came along with so many cool outfits that suited the location in different ways and as usual the images produced by photographers were amazing.

Cariad is an incredibly model and one we hope to keep working with, not only is she a great model but she’s also one of the nicest people we’ve had the pleasure of meeting in this industry and we’re lucky to call her a friend too!

Highly recommended as always :)

Joined Cariad for a day long shoot in the Peak District in a small group. Cariad had already scouted the area and came prepared with great ideas and props. This was the second occasion of working with Cariad and i'm sure it won't be the last as she is brilliant to work with.

Nearly 400 wonderful references speak for themselves, I have worked with Cariad on numerous occasions and she is with out doubt my favourite model. It is a privilege to work with her. I think her partner Keiran is a very lucky person. I can not wait to see and work with her again, Extra to her fabulous modelling abilities she is such a nice person. Very highly recommended

Had another excellent remote session with Cariad yesterday at her home studio, and I'm extremely pleased--delighted, even--with the results.

The session itself was lovely, with her being her usual professional, friendly, and energetic self. Everything we'd discussed in the precomms was ready and handy, and she made suggestions throughout for things that might add to what we were aiming for.

Highly recommended!

I have just had my most magical shoot with the amazing Cariad. It was in response to a casting she put up for a photoshoot while on holiday in my area, and I simply couldn’t let the chance slip by for an early morning sunrise shoot on the Pembrokeshire cliff tops.

Cariad and her partner Kieran met me at 5.30am bringing with them a large case containing a superb collection of stunning outfits to select from; to cover the range of different locations and styles that were on the shoot plan.

Cariad approached the whole shoot with complete professionalism. She instinctively and effortlessly seemed to know what poses would work best in the different locations, and enthusiastically made sure that I captured the sought for images.

Cariad is totally graceful in her creative and flowing posing. She works hard while remaining friendly and is so easy to relax and get along with. She is an absolute joy and pleasure to work with. She can also work wonders with flowing lacy fabric in a breeze!

Her partner Kieran was also a great help on the shoot to both Cariad and myself.

We have already discussed booking a shoot together on her next visit to the depths of Pembrokeshire.

Thank you Cariad (and Kieran) for the most amazing shoot and of course I completely recommend working with you to photographers of all levels.

Cariad was great! She’s clearly very experienced and professional. It was one of my first times working with a model, and Cariad made it easy. She was awesome to work with, she took my ideas onboard and helped make them a reality, I would recommend her highly and she is someone that I’d love to work with again in the future.

What should of been a sunrise shoot turned out to be an epic three days in Pembroke working with the incredible Cariad.

If we wasn’t dodging the rain on the amazing coast line we would be looking for shade in the blistering heat in some corn field. With so many reasons to complain Cariad just smiled and done some of the best posing I have ever seen.

I honestly take my hat off to such a hard working model and always getting you the best results possible while still looking a million dollars.

A truly remarkable model that should be on everyone’s bucket list.

It was great to work with Cariad again, this time on a short-notice location shoot near her home in Derby. She and Kieran took me to some great locations where we managed several different looks - I'm impressed with how much we were able to fit in to what was actually quite a short time shooting!

As ever, Cariad was a pleasure to work with. Hair and make-up were done to a high standard when I arrived and she had suitable outfits ready and waiting. Fortunately for me she's happy posing without direction, but very good at taking direction when I did have a flash of inspiration.

For a relaxing shoot with an excellent model, I highly recommend booking Cariad!

An excellent shoot yesterday was Cariad. This time a location shoot, and the sort of environment where working with a top professional really pays off as Cariad can absolutely be relied on to do her thing while the photographer worries about changing light, framing and relative positioning. We used three incredible locations and got some brilliant images. On location shots with lots of travelling, the social component matters and Cariad, along with partner Kieran who was on hand to provide assistance provide very good company. We are already thinking about possibilities for the next shoot.

After the now familiar Covid hiatus, this was my 2nd time working with Cariad at a Beauty & the Boat all day 8 hour event at Aura Studio, duoing with Evalana James.

The studio sets included a Rowing Boat, a Fishing Net, Driftwood and masses of Roses. Both models worked to Art Nude in the morning session and opulent dresses in the afternoon, using both Natural Light and Studio Strobes when required.

Cariad is an absolute joy with which to work, posing and collaborating to create great images, honed through her many years of experience, and her natural beauty with very long hair, green eyes and impeccable makeup, plus a lovely easy going personality just added to the quality of the day.

Thanks you so much Caria, and no hesitation in recommending her 100% to all levels of photographers : )

Evalana

Cariad KELEES you are an absolute GEM! How lush and lovely this girl is ♥ I've been told by everyone mutual how lovely she is, and after meeting her I was just like :' ) yeah, she really is.

I had a great time shooting with Cari at AURA's Beauty and the Boat studio day. We shot solo and duo, the studio was filled with flowers and we shot with the boat and in pretty ball gowns. She is a fantastic model with a tonne of experience. Her poses are so graceful and elegant. Cari is sooooo beautiful with the most mesmerising green eyes you ever did see! She has really long lush brown hair like a princess. If she hasn't already I could definitely see her doing an amazing Tudor queen shoot. She has the face and hair to pull of sooo many different looks. From art nude to fashion, 1800's to modern, this girl could do it all!

I would HIGHLY RECOMMEND booking Cariad 100%!!

P.s it was great to have Cari's partner there on the studio day, he was so helpful! Also he drove her to/from the shoot so she is able to be booked all over without having to worry about public transport.

GO BOOK CARIAD NOWWWW ♥

Had my first shoot with Cariad at Aura Studio. I couldn't be more impressed by her; professional, friendly and an all-round fantastic model. She's very approachable, open to ideas and has endless poses to offer.

Will definitely work with her again and wouldn't hesitate to recommend her to others.

I shot with Cariad at a flower themed event at Aura Photographic Studios and her posing was on point and she looked amazing in the elegant dresses. She has very good skin tone and knows how to give that look to the camera to get a real connection in the eyes for the picture. I also spoke to her partner Keiran at length about cameras and they seem like a nice couple. Highly recommended model.

Kevin Connery

Fabulous model!

This was our 3rd remote shoot, ably assisted by her partner Kieran.

I could go on at length about how talented she is, how well she knows her angles, poses, and expressions, or how creative she is with simple lengths of fabric--our planned theme for the session--how enjoyable she is to work with, and how lovely she photographs, but really, she's more than the sum of the parts.

A great session with a great model, and I'm already planning the next one.

Hi I cannot believe I've missed this wonderful model before today! All you want from a "Model" superb personality, very interesting and intelligent lady!.. Stunning Miss C has the perfect silky no ink figure and dreamy poses to die for! It's a 'tog, location and studio's perfect proportional package! I'm hooking up again with her next month! Massive respect! Thanks Cari' and partner for your help! The studio was at Kempston Studios and always a delightful experience!

Organised Chaos

I will start by saying YAY & WOW 😃Cari is truly absolutely brilliant as it was due to Cari's input that my favourite part of the shoot the red jump suit sequence happened.

I am really fortunate to have worked with Cari as she is enthusiastic in getting you the images asked for & where my ideas would prove fruitless Cari's input really made the shoot as so did the input of Kieran who I asked for his opinion (Cari's fiancé who would normally be in the dressing room doing editing but at my asking he gave me input & truly they are friends to me as is Andy Kempston Studio owner who I really am so glad for as he translates my jibber into sensible thoughts 😲) working with Cari is a most uplifting & rewarding experience & I am looking at a September 2nd shoot with her & then a third.

Cari is

Knowledgeable of her craft & artists that Cari will tell you about what their works are & this is so informative & Cari will do this as does Kieran & Andy in conversation which is always inspiring.

Everything about Cari is brilliant from her style,reading what a photographer is looking to achieve,most excellent sense of humor from both Cari & Kieran.

Like I said already earlier Kieran normally will be in the dressing room as he is very kind but also as like Cari a brilliant photographer I asked for Kieran to be with us as I view them both as friends & helpful in me getting a much better outcome.

So in short I recommend Cari with all joy & look forward to shooting with this brilliant model again.

Thankyou,

Alec😁👏

I love, when planning is easy and two ways, uncomplicated.

Just as I love when the model is creative and positive in creating.

And this is, Cariad!!

Our first shoot here in Sweden, but I hope not the last.

Thanks for a great co-operation!!
