A pleasure to work again with the lovely Ceri who booked onto one of my small events at Pipewell Hall, where the models were myself and Mystique Fay. Her communication was great prior and on the day she brought some spectacular dresses, gowns and interesting accessories.

Ceri is always so friendly, easy going and down to earth, and we focussed on shooting certain concepts in different ways to get varied and high quality shots from each set. I loved the quirky creative ideas and props she brought along, enjoyed her company and look forward to seeing the results in future :-)

Ceri is a lovely person to work with, she has a spectacular collection of dresses and has a keen eye for photography. Ceri is able to work efficiently as she knows the shot she wants if it is something knew Ceri can quickly decide if an idea is working or not. Ceri is also very aware of models safety and comfort.

Thank you for a great shoot , Jessica x

Ceri is the best! Love working with her, cant get enough of the princess styling and she's just such a considerate photographer to shoot with. We shot princess gowns in a lovely manor gardens nearby me in Northamptonshire and had a great day and the botc shots are stunning. The edit I've seen is also gorgeous, Ceri really knows her stuff! As always, I highly recommend Ceri and hope we can shoot again very soon! I'll not lose my phone next time >_<

Ceri and I shot once again and NLS, with Wavepower and AnnaRose and Ayla! As ever Ceri was great fun, very chilled and creative and was super understanding when I managed to injure my back (coughing- somehow!) and made sure I knew it was ok to rest and heal so I didn't feel pressured :) Ceri's pre-shoot comms are excellend and her wardrobe is second to none, she once again brought along some lovely gowns for us to wear! Highly recommended by me once again and hope we can shoot again soon! (I've found that showgirl outfit!! ;D )

I love working with Ceri!

She is so much fun and her ideas are a breath of fresh air.

Her dresses are lush and her cats are super cute!

We had a half day shoot in Birmingham on my recent tour and she kindly hosted me, fed me and looked after me very well as she always does.

I am so pleased women like Ceri are in the industry and shooting models - thankyou!

I worked with Ceri for the first time at the beautiful Far Forest Studio! Ceri very kindly booked me for the full day. I am always a little nervous working with someone for the first time for a full days booking without prior introduction, but from the get go Ceri was very welcoming, friendly and kind.

She is a woman of many talents and I absolutely loved her wonderful creative spirit and passion for creating beautiful artistic images which I found infectious! She arrived with a MASS of clothing, stunning corsets, dresses, ball gowns and head dresses which were a complete joy to wear! She also has fantastic sewing skills and it was amazing to wear her designs, which she put many hours of effort into creating prior to our shoot- I was really honoured to wear them.

Ceri shoots at a very enjoyable, relaxed pace for the model. She gives greta direction and loves to shoot in natural light, which is my favourite. She was also extremely kind to provide a beautiful packed lunch which was delicious! She is extremely thoughtful.

I absolutely LOVED the images we produced together- the editing and post production was truly beautiful and achieved high praise from many in the industry. Ceri was very kind to share these images with me and to use in my own portfolio.

I would highly recommended Ceri to all creatives, It was a real pleasure to work together. I really look forward to working together again. Thankyou Ceri, Helen x

Ceri and I had our second shoot recently, at NLS doing duo flour with Wavepower and a lovely talented model/dancer Nina. Ceri is a wonderful photographer to work with, very relaxed and friendly and makes sure the models she works with are happy and comfortable (as much as possible with flour everywhere! :) ). She is very experimental and collaborative, and always creates lovely work - can't recommend her enough as a person or photographer! Thanks Ceri :)

Ceri and I shot together for the first time last week, this was part of a duo flour shoot. Ceri's on the day she was a lovely person. I liked how she worked that she just trusted us in trying the get the best possible shot for us all. Ceri is a very creative photographer, and you can really tell that she knows so much on what works and doesn’t work and all the little tips and tricks. She is happy to experiment seeing what will and won’t work as if you don’t try you will never know right? , and is very considerate of the models she shoots with. I couldn’t recommend Ceri more.

Thanks again

I had a fantastic shoot with Ceri this Saturday while in the midlands area as part of my UK tour. This was our second shoot and it was fantastic to get the opportunity to work together again. Ceri was kind enough to host me at her house the night before our shoot so that we could start fairly early the following morning.

We did mixture of classic art nude, portraiture and fashion getting through a number of different set ups during the time. She also supplied a load of beautiful dresses, costumes and accessories - I was spoilt for choice!

She ensured I was comfortable throughout the shoot and also brought along an amazing vegan lunch for us as well.

I really enjoyed out second shoot together and can't wait to see the results, highly recommended!

Ceri and I shot together for the first time today, having spoken about the idea a few times in passing at NLS. Ceri's comms are spot on, and on the day she was a lovely as ever. Ceri had booked me and another model - so I also got to duo with the excellent Anna Rose who's modelling I have always admired so grateful to Ceri for that opportunity too! Ceri is a very creative photographer, and shooting with her (and Anna) was a very collaborative experience. She is happy to experiment around a cool idea she has come up with allowing everyone to get creative and see what we can produce, and is very considerate of the models she shoots with. Totally recommended by me and I hope we can shoot together again soon :)

I was lucky enough to work with this wonderful lady today at John Barone's studio. She booked 4 hours which she shared with her friend Donna.

What a lovely afternoon it was! Ceri and Donna brought SO MANY wonderful things - dresses and props, which I was VERY excited by! Both were extremely laid back - the entire shoot was so relaxed and enjoyable! Ceri was very welcoming - I immediately felt comfortable and safe around her! she is an extremely professional lady - respectful - though still LOTS of fun. I laughed a lot - some fab conversation - Ceri is clearly so passionate about what she does, which I Love!

I was so excited by all the wonderful, unique ideas that Ceri brought to our shoot. It was really wonderful to get to do something different! I may add that the sets were executed so well also!

Ceri was happy to listen to my suggestions as well on the shoot so it felt like a real collaboration!

The outfits were just stunning!! I felt very lucky to get to wear them! Some of which Ceri just magically made out of material, and they still looked fabulous!

Ceri always was super considerate! Always making sure I was happy - that I was warm and fuelled! (bringing some lovely food also to help with that).

The shots on the back of the camera looked just beautiful - so well composed and captured. I am very excited to see the finished products.! At the end of the shoot Ceri was kind enough to drive me to the place I am staying - which was super helpful!

All in all, a lovely lady - who happens to be a very talented photographer - couldn't ask for more! I do hope we can shoot again :D Ceri does highly recommended by me! :D x

I had my second shoot with Ceri recently and it was a blast! She is so relaxed, lovely and great company! We got through a great range of high quality sets outdoors around the fantastic Far Forest Studio, with a mixture of both our styling and accessories. She also brought an amazing generous lunch and all the snacks I could have wanted, so kind!

I hugely enjoyed the shoot and can highly recommend working with Ceri! From scouting around, putting outfits together and cracking up as we were both engulfed by the wild smoke bombs, it was all so fun! The images looked absolutely STUNNING and magical. Thank you so much Ceri :-D

Far Forest Studio

We were pleased to welcome Ceri to our studio today for what we hope will be the first of many visit.

Pre shoot communications were excellent.

She arrived on time and well prepared for the shoot. Full of ideas on what to do the whole day was well planned, relaxed and fun.

A lovely lady who is a credit to photographers everywhere.

Highly recommended to any studio or model.

I loved shooting with Ceri yesterday. We had a full day shoot at Natural Light Studio in Northampton and it was a total pleasure to meet and work with her. I loved how laid back she was - it felt like there was no rush at all, and she even brought a 'picnic' for us to enjoy in the middle of the day, which was much appreciated. I loved her approach. Furthermore, she's very creative and had some really lovely ideas which I loved working on with her. We had lots of fun! The photos looked wonderful. Thanks Ceri!

I worked with the lovely Ceri for the first time recently in Wolverhampton at John Barones Studio. Her pre communications were excellent and she kindly filled a full day after I told her I had received a cancellation. Ceri picked up from where I was staying the night before (super helpful!) and brought along so an amazing lunch which basically was my breakfast lunch and dinner as there was so much!

We covered dance, movement, art nude, portraits and a little bit of fashion throughout the day. I think we got some absolutely amazing shots and Ceris styling was fabulous as she made me look like a different person for some of the headshots.

Throughout the day Ceri was so relaxed and laid back, a truly wonderful woman to work alongside and I enjoyed our chats immensely. She is an engaging, friendly and incredibly warm person :)

I wouldn't hesitate to recommend Ceri and I hope we get to shoot together again!

I had a wonderful shoot with Ceri a few weeks back at John Barones studio Wolverhampton.

Ceri booked me for a day and brought along lots of amazing props/styling and she was lovely enough to bring lots of snacks for lunch, which was so nice of Ceri.

Ceri had lots of brilliant ideas which we worked through at an enjoyable pase, the shoot was relaxed, fun and productive.

I fully enjoyed working with Ceri and her company and I hope to work with her again soon.

Highly recommended from me :)

Yet another super shoot with Ceri! Can only really echo my comments on the last reference (minus the hummus) ;)

Always love shooting with her- we get a lot done and always have fun. Really pleased with the results of our first outdoor location shoot and can't wait to see the results online :D

Thank you, Ceri! Until next time... :)

Ceri and I went over to Image Red studio recently for a days shoot, we covered everything from fashion and portrait to fantasy and art nude making for a varied and very enjoyable days work. We struggled a little bit with some very strong light coming in to the studio then quickly over came that by utilizing it in the most creative way! It was a pleasure to work with her, and we shot some weird and wonderful sets, a very nice change from standard shooting procedure. Ceri brought a lovely picnic, with biscuits and snacks to keep us going throughout the day and was kind enough to drive me from the station and onto my next destination. She also provided most of the outfits having been to the studio beforehand and realising it was filthy brought "trashable" clothes which was exceptionally thoughtful as I was on tour and unable to wash my kit between shoots! Only a woman would think of this :) Ceri is simply a dream to work with I can't recommend her enough to other models.

Just had yet another brilliant day with Ceri- this time at my place for the day.

Ceri had brought loads of super props with her and outfits for me to work with and dress up in. We had a main focus of 'windows' with a more classic/ vintage feel and I really enjoyed doing something a little different! :D

The day totally whizzed by and we got a load of lovely images- whilst having a good old natter over some hummus, yay! ;)

Thank you, Ceri. Can't wait to work with you again! :)
