I've been wanting to shoot with Carla for a while, and got the opportunity last Sunday, at Lizzie's Helmut Newton themed workshop. Carla dived into the roles for each set, producing a range of poses and expressions. Carla's a lovely lady to work with, and was chatty and easy to get on with. I've been thrilled with the results, and recommend Carla to photographers of all standards. Thanks Carla, can't wait until our next shoot.

Managed to get my first ever shot with Carla today. There is nothing that can be said other then amazing.

Carla is a delight to work with. I will do my best to shoot with Carla again as soon as possible.

I shot Carla today at Lizzie's Helmut Newton inspired Workshop in Sandon Hall. It was a great experience: I thoroughly enjoyed it, I learned a lot, and I got some great images. Carla and Lizzie were both great to work with. I would love to shoot Carla again and attend more of Lizzie's courses. I highly recommend Carla and Lizzie's courses.

I had wanted to work with Carla for some time and finally managed to get the opportunity on Lizzie Bayliss's Helmut Newton themed masterclass at Sandon Hall. There have already been many great things said about Carla in previous posts, but for me its simple. Would I work with her again? in a heartbeat, quick as a flash. Carla is brilliant, stunning looks and poses, incredibly patient and hardworking. The slightest suggestion of what you are looking for in a look or pose and she just nails it, time after time, interpreting exactly what I was looking for then adding subtle emotions into the pose. Highly recommended seems an understatement but she most definitely is, thanks Carla..! :-)

I booked Carla for my last batch of Helmut Newton inspired workshops and I’m unbelievably pleased that I did.

Carla is not only a captivatingly beautiful model, with a slim and shapely figure, perfect skin and expressive face, but she is a true professional in her attitude too. She is an extremely versatile model, who looked perfect for the style of images I wanted to produce over the weekend, and fitted dynamically into the role, with little explanation on my part of what I wanted.

Carla poses perfectly, working with the light and conveying grace, strength and elegance throughout. She needs no direction, but should you want a particular pose, Carla takes direction so easily, and has great understanding of photographic styles and genres.

Carla is a friendly, sweet and hard working model, who made an effort to get the best images for all the photographers attending the weekend. She was punctual, had perfect hair and make-up and brought with her a range of beautiful clothes and accessories.

If you want someone who is going to give you amazing images and a professional experience from the very first email to the minute she leaves, then don’t delay in booking her!

But then you don’t need me to tell you that… you can already see that on her portfolio!

Thanks so much Carla! Hope to work with her again, and highly recommend her to all.

Carla is awesome to work with, totally professional, very responsive and great range of poses. I did a full day workshop with Carla and Adrian, which pushed me out of my comfort zone, but taught me a lot about how to shoot. Thanks again for your patience and for the great images, I progressed a lot in a day and look forward to working with you again soon.

This is my second time working with Carla, and I jumped at the opportunity to shoot her at her home which is surrounded by the beautiful Cotswolds countryside. Carla and Adrian were fantastic hosts on the day, with Adrian driving us around from location to location and providing useful advice on the good spots to shoot. Thus, in half a day, I had the chance to shoot with Carla in the woods and also by a nearby lake at sunset.

Throughout the day, Carla delivered some amazing poses in sometimes tricky situations, which makes the job of the photographer a real pleasure. It was a true privilege to work with her - an experience that I look forward to repeat again!

A true professional. A great model.

I had the great pleasure of working with Carla for the first time at her home location, with Carla and her husband being very welcoming.

Working with Carla it is easy to see why she has such a great reputation and is one of the best models on PP, as she is beautiful, professional, versatile, and easy to work with.

Highly recommended

Had my second shoot with Carla at TipTop studios on her group shoot. Carla was brilliant, friendly and a complete professional. It's impossible to take a bad photo of Carla and i would love to work with her again in the future.

We got some great images and i would recommend to everyone that if you haven't worked with her, you should!!

Thanks again Carla

I had the very real pleasure of working with Carla at Tiptop Studios on Sunday.

She was an absolute delight to photograph. Personable, very friendly, incredibly hard working and totally professional, not to mention good fun :-).

I have been aware of Carla for a while, the quality of work in her portfolio speaks for itself, and when an opportunity to work with her arose I jumped at it...

I would thoroughly recommend Carla to any photographer and can't wait to work with her again...in fact next weekend to be precise :-)

Thanks Carla (Y)

Having wanted to work with Carla since pretty much joining PP I had no hesitation in snapping up her recent casting when she was in Birmingham.

I knew she was great from her incredible portfolio, but I realised just how good she is right from the first few shots. I remember looking through my view finder and thinking wow!

We made some awesome images that I can't wait to edit.

I have rarely worked with the same model more than once, but Carla will certainly be one of those. Simply brilliant :-)

I had the great pleasure of working with Carla on Tuesday at her home. It was a great shoot and one that I will remember. She is very Professional, hard working, friendly, approachable and is very patient. I had numerous ideas and I honestly thought I would only be able to cover half of what I wanted to achieve, how wrong was I, not only did I get through all of my ideas we managed to achieve more.

One of the things that impressed me the most was her engagement, we talked through shoots, and what I wanted to achieve and she not only nailed it, she exceeded all of my expectations.

Her home location is great to work in, not only does she have the room, she has a variety of backdrops that can be used inside and outside. I would also point out, although we didn't explore fully, there are great outdoor locations very near the home to shoot at. So if you get the opportunity to work with Carla at her home location I would strongly recommend you do so and make the most of the outdoors.

I definitely want to work with Carla again and I would strongly recommend Carla to fellow photographers. She has a great look, great personality and above all wants to work with you to get the shot you are after.

Don't delay get your shoot booked.

I had a wonderful time working with Carla on a street fashion workshop in Liverpool at the weekend. We got some amazing shots on the day. Carla is very professional, friendly and easy to work with. I highly recommend her and would definitely work with her again.

Thank you for a great shoot.

Having met Carla over two years ago and shooting with her on several occasions since, I was delighted to have the opportunity to shoot with her once again. We spent several hours at my studio and achieved what I consider to be some of my best results yet with this fantastic model. Carla represents in my eyes the totally professional and skilful model who is able to produce stunning work whilst remaining the most delightful, friendly and considerate person to spend a day with photographing.

I would recommend Carla to any photographer of whatever skill level; an absolute must work with model.

Just had another great shoot with Carla at her home in Wiltshire. Carla is an absolutely amazing model. She looks stunning, poses effortlessly, is very professional and is also very friendly and easy to work with. The weather for the shoot was fantastic which meant that we could make the most of the various locations at Carla's home, which provides a great variety of places to shoot.

Carla really is brilliant and is definitely very highly recommended.

What can I say about Carla that has not been seed a hundred times before...?

I got to shoot with Carla at the Paul's Events Wales Weekend for a brief time one afternoon and what a pleasure it was. Not only of course is she absolutely stunning but she is such a lovely, polite, kind and generous person to work with too. Nothing is too much trouble and she works so hard to ensure you get the very best images. Conditions were not perfect yet not once did Carla comment let alone complain, instead she worked tirelessly throughout.

I always love working with Carla and just wish I could do it more often. Very highly recommended as always.

This was my second shoot with Carla, and I was again impressed with her huge range of graceful poses and was friendly, helpful and very easy to work with.

I would be happy to shoot with Carla again, and would recommend her to any photographer.
