I was lucky enough to have my first location shoot with Carla yesterday. We shot together a few weeks at Fine and DanDee studios as part of a studio day and I know then I really wanted to work more with Carla. We had had to postpone this shoot from last week because of weather and yesterday looked great until just before we met when - of course - it started to rain. That said we pushed on anyway with Carlas lovely encouragement for which I am so grateful. It was absolutely worth it.

Carla is an absolute pro, her posing was stunning, precise, natural and patient enabling us to create so really beautiful images. She had clearly put a lot of thought into outfits and brought along with her a selection that complimented the places we shot in perfectly. She is absolutely approachable, kind and so easy going, her tips whist posing were perfect and she was open to ideas and suggestions. Her pre and post shoot coms are perfect.

I am thrilled with the shots we captured in spite of the weather and am very much looking forward to working with Carla again very soon. I absolutely recommend her 110%

I shot with Carla on a workshop I attended, her experience and professionalism was clear to see from the offset and resulted in a really enjoyable day for myself and all who attended.



I came away with an abundance of beautiful images that I have Carla to thank for, highly recommended.

This was my first shoot since before the COVID lockdowns, and it was lovely to be back taking images again. The weather was kind to us and we had some lovely natural light to work with in a beautiful set of locations.

As always, it was lovely to work with Carla. She is incredibly professional, interprets what is required, listens to instruction if given and creates the most beautiful poses. I had sent some outline ideas to Carla before the shoot, and she arrived with a set of outfits that worked perfectly. Great collaboration.

We captured many beautiful images in a range of settings - just what I had in mind before the shoot!

Highly recommended.

Another great weekend of workshops at our studio with Carla, she's a total star! Easy to work with, easy to get on with, works hard, polite, adds loads to your shoot - the consumate professional! Above all she has a subtlety of expression that many lack - you can't beat that quality! See you again soon!

I've been self-isolating for 6 months because I'm at risk on 4 counts! Today I ventured out into a field somewhere in Wiltshire with the incredible Carla. We met up at some sat nav coordinates (social distancing of course) and started shooting along an interesting pathway until we ended up in a field of long grass. We captured loads of shots but were really wating for the sun to sink a little lower and start giving us that wonderful light. Just 20 minutes left to our shoot and the sun delivered in spades, clubs, hearts and diamonds. I can honestly say that I can't think of of better person I'd rather spend my first day shooting with after all this time than Carla. She's an absolute gem.

Had my first shoot with Carla today, and my first shoot for about 12 months. It was a location shoot, and the elements were against us, but I'm glad we persevered.

Carla was very relaxed and easy to work with, open and friendly and thoroughly professional. We discussed ideas beforehand, and she was very encouraging and enthusiastic. She took direction well when required, but generally had an instinct for what I wanted and produced the desired effect without prompting. She was willing to try all my costume and prop suggestions, and brought my ideas to life with her incredible aura. She was very patient in the humid and often wet conditions, and made the whole shoot feel very comfortable and easy.

Carla chose a great location for us, and gave good directions on how to find it. She is a lovely person to chat to between shots, and I would highly recommend her, and look forward to working with her again.

I've shot with Carla on many occasions, and it is always a pleasure. A stunning, highly experienced model, and one of the most patient and kind hearted people you could ever hope to meet.

Just had my first shoot with Carla at Paul's studio and I hope it won't be the last. She was a pleasure to work with; easy to get on with, patient during my fumbling experiments with the lights and of course is a great model. Absolutely recommended!

It has taken me a long time to catch up with Carla. It was well worth the wait. Carla was every thing I expected and a delight to work with. Until next time.....

I was pleased to have another opportunity to work with Carla after an absence of three years: this time in the well-equipped and accommodating Inspire Studios.

Classy and classical as always, with precision posing and interpretation guaranteed, Carla is very rewarding to work with and I am pleased with the images that we made. The time passed all too quickly.

So thank you Carla.I found our shoot to be an excellent tonic after lockdown.

Wonderful shoot with Carla at Inspire studios.. As expected a true professional and so nice to work with. So good with poses and lines one of the very best for a reason. Delighted with what we got. If you haven't shot with Carla...do it.

Cannot recommend enough. A truly great model and a lovely person

It was so lovely to see Carla back at the studio again she is such a lovely person and so easy to get on with. She is also a fantastic model who is super easy to work with from a photographer's point of view as well as studio owners view!

Be delighted to see her back again and would absolutely recommend working with her if you are lucky enough to get the chance!

Our first ever shoot with the wonderfully talented Carla.

I knew from our initial communication about the shoot that this was going to be special. There is something about clarity and simplicity from the start, which makes things a joy to plan and execute.

The shoot was no different; Carla demonstrated an exceptional understanding of the theme for the day and came well prepared for it. Her attention to detail from styling to makeup is unparalleled.

Carla has an intuitive understanding of what pose to get into depending on the situation and environment. Her calm and warm energy again makes working with exceptionally fun. She poses with effortless ease, and the photographer can easily fall into shutter wonderland.

An absolute professional from start to finish, Carla is an absolute delight to work with. We cannot wait to work with her again soon.

Thank you for a fabulous day out, Carla!

Like many photographers I spent lockdown revisiting my image library and edited a few of Carla from a couple of years ago. In doing so I realised how beautiful she is and wondered why I hadn't arranged another shoot more recently and determined that I would put that right as soon as lockdown eased.

We decided to shoot on location and Carla very kindly scouted some suitable spots ahead of the shoot which saved so much time on the day. It provided wooded areas and fields with long grasses and wild flowers as backdrops and the weather was sunny and warm. Perfect.

Carla is, of course, one of the most beautiful models on this site (and any other come to that) so to photograph her is a real treat. We made some beautiful images and the challenge will be choosing which ones to edit/publish among the many suitable.

Thanks Carla for a great shoot. Everyone should have Carla in their portfolio.

I worked with Carla with two other photographers on a street style fashion shoot in Bath and what an awesome shoot. Carla was professional, easy-going, really great to work with. I am on the more beginner side to fashion photography and she made everything really easy. Would definitely recommend her and would love to work with her again someday.

Fine and DanDee Studio's

Carla is always a delight to have in the studio. Professional and patient and a truly lovely person. Always welcome here!

Ian Oliver

I had a great first shoot today with Carla. 4 hours as part of a studio day organised by the Fine and DanDee studio in Wokingham, they both made me feel very welcome and made me feel at ease immediately.

I really cannot recommend Carla Highly enough. She is an absolute professional, kind, bright and totally approachable, a joy to shoot with. We had a fun, laid back shoot and the time flew by. Her posing was flawless, and flowed freely with little or no direction needed but she was absolutely receptive to ideas to try and suggestions made.

She has a good concept of posing in relation to light and I am extremely happy with the back of camera shots and know we've produced some really lovely work. One of those shoots you float home from knowing it was a great afternoon and that you've some lovely shots as a result.

Thank you so much Carla for a fantastic shoot, I am very much looking forward to working with you again.

I always look forward to Carla's annual trip up to Scotland, really versatile model and always comes prepared with tons of outfits for so many different looks.

Carla is really easy to work with, super professional and really helps bring the shoot to life.

Highly recommended.
