I had a fantastic shoot with Carla Sunday and came away with so many beautiful shots. Carla is a fabulous model who takes direction well but also works very well without direction. On more than a few occasions she adjusted pose just as I was about to suggest it. I would definitely recommend Carla as a great model to work with and would hope to work with her again in the future.

It has been an honour to work with such a super model. I really hope our paths cross again.

A very good shoot with Carla, a highly talented model, versatile and adaptable, able to take direction and bring my ideas to fruition. Fabulous figure and wonderful portraits, One of the best models around.

Carla is on that list of models that you just know is going to do an amazing job. I had also shot briefly with Carla at a fashion event last year. I don't normally arrange shoots "on-spec" however when Carla let me know she was up this way, I knew it was a great opportunity to try out some of the more complex ideas I have in my backlog.

Carla is every inch the hard working professional, completely down to Earth and easy to engage with, and has a tonne of experience. She instantly understood each look I was going for and executed the costume and make-up to suit. We packed a load of different things into a 5 hour shoot and this is only possible if your model can pose with ease. Carla can rattle off poses around the basic direction, faster than I can shoot them :)

I had a great day working with Carla and wholeheartedly recommend her.

Not much I can add that hasn't been said before but Carla truly is amazing to work with! A complete pro but also very relaxed and easy-going. If you get the opportunity to work with her - grab it!

Could not recommend highly enough :)

What a gorgeous model ! I have seen many images of Carla over the past few years, and when I saw she was coming to Liverpool I jumped at the opportunity of arranging a photo shoot with her at Amber Kat studios. A good studio with several different places to shoot and many interesting props to use.

Carla is superb. Very experienced. Great to work with and we got many many lovely images. Thanks for a great shoot. Highly recommended. Plan to arrange an outdoor shoot with her next summer.

I first saw Carla when she first appeared in the modelling scene while she was based locally in Liverpool and I always wanted to arrange a shoot with her. Regrettably I never had the chance until years latter. I find her very polite and pleasant to work with, she put me at ease and when I'm stuck for ideas she can strike I pose that I wanted or have not considered and it would be perfect all the time

Carla is a model with classic look and elegent that would grace any high end publications.

This is my 4th time working with Carla, she is very professional and easy to work with. Has a massive range of outfits and tries really hard to get the look you are after.

On the day she works hard, really contributes to the shoot and adds input when reviewing images to make sure the final images to be used are stunning.

If you get a chance to work with her do it.

I realise that I did not leave a reference for Carla after our lovely shoot in early December. We focused on beauty shots and as before Carla was very professional and friendly. The shoot went very well with Carla willing to explore ideas to get great shots. I am very happy with the outcome of the shoot and would be happy to work with Carla again. I would certainly recommend Carla.

This afternoon I had the pleasure of working with Carla for the second time in the 'Pavilion'.

On both occasions she was most professional, working hard to ensure you get the best results and

nothing seemed to be a problem. She had a very large collection of outfits and accessories to cover

almost every situation. Carla is a beautiful model with great features and works well on her own but

takes direction when required, she has a charming personality and is a delight to work with.

Almost forgot to mention I got an abundance of fantastic images. I would certainly recommend Carla

to other photographers. Thank you for a most pleasant shoot.......B

Found out Carla was up in Scotland this December, so grabbed the chance to work with her. I had been wanting to work with Carla for a long while after regularly seeing her amazing work on here, other sites and social media.

Pre-shoot comms were fab and she was on time and well prepared. She obviously knows Glasgow/Scotland in general, very well too.

She is a beautiful and talented model who is hard to take a bad pic of really. Carla needs no direction when posing but was happy to listen to my ideas, plus chipped in some fab ideas of her own. I had an apartment avail for the shoot and Carla was not only checking her makeup/hair in intervals but helped me move props/furniture and so on. I appreciate that.

She is a very professional and great at what she does(which you can see from her profile on here), do not expect any negatives from me as she is simply one of the nicest people i have met from here yet. Friendly, considerate, chatty and really easy to work with. I always appreciate someone who is interested and asks you questions too. If you are a beginner and worried about booking a model such as Carla, don't be. Go for it! I am very happy with the images i got.

Highly recommend Carla and cannot wait to work with her again.

Thanks again and stay safe in the bad weather :)

In Search of That Perfect Shot..............

Iam so glad I had this opportunity as she was a class above, she is such a strikingly beautiful lady and had great charm and charisma.

great pre shoot communications, worked with Carla at her home studio location.

Didn't have any planned ideas on what we would be doing however on arrival and having looked round I decided to try shooting with natural light , something alien to me and who better to shoot this with!! :D

Great model , poses effortlessly and a perfect wardrobe to compliment the themes I was trying to achieve.

Super chatty and great hospitality , the time flew by , hope to work with again :)

It was lovely to work with Carla again on a photoshoot at her home. As always, she was a delight to work with and I captured great images from the session. She is very professional and talented. Will take direction and comes up with beautiful poses. We discussed what I wanted to achieve from the various set ups and she had great ideas.

I'm sure I'll be booking Carla again. She is highly recommended.

Today I had my third shoot with Carla at the New Upper Mills Studio. I had in mind a number of shots that I wanted to achieve and Carla worked fantastically producing a range of protraits and creative pictures. Carla has an amazing look that always produces very strong images and I was delighted with the number of great images that will be used in a range of photographic salons and competitions. At one stage Carla was working with a large pilates ball with a number of coloured fabrics which she did perfectly and was able to input her thoughts to the various poses with the ball. I was looking forward to this shoot and was not disappointed and I am looking forward to working with Carla again in future. I can highly recommend Carla, she is an amazing, highly talented model.

Many thanks again.

An Eye for Beauty

I was determined to have a second shoot with Carla this year and was certainly not disappointed. We worked at her home, but, as the weather was good, spent more than half of the time outside in garden, fields and entrance. Carla is so easy to work with - no airs and graces, and a fun girl. We did some fashion shots at which she excels, but also developed a new genre : pyjama bottoms! Most of the time we used the natural light but some flash fill, so the images were very natural which suited Carla well. I am already hoping for another session in 2016. Thanks, Carla - until next time! Meanwhile an abiding image of this lovely girl standing at the front door wearing just ... pyjama bottoms. Now what title for that shot?

I had the pleasure of shooting for a second time with Carla at Lizzie's Helmut Newton workshop on Sunday. We were trying to create photos with a sense of narrative and Carla is the perfect model for this as she puts such range of expressions into the different sets that we took. She really gave one hundred and ten percent to everything we tried and was really great at interpreting the different ideas that each of us photographers wanted to try. I'm delighted with the photos and would recommend Carla to any photographer without hesitation.

Another reference from the Lizzie Bayliss / 'Helmut Newton' shoot - it was the first time I'd met Carla and hopefully not the last. She poses effortlessly, with and without direction to make a photographer's life very easy. In some of the sets she was dressed and some were near as dammit nude in a sometimes chilly stately home - not a whimper or complaint from Carla whilst the rest of us had coats on!

Thank you for your expertise and professionalism in the face of adversity! ;-)

Hope to organise another shoot sometime :-)
