Had an amazing second shoot with Chiara at the Studland weekend on Friday! :-) Had wanted to shoot with Chiara again for ages but it never quite worked out so was really excited to get the chance to finally shoot again! :-) Chiara is incredible to work with, she brings amazing styling, phenomenal posing, unique awareness of everything both sides of the camera and on top of all her skills is loads of fun and an absolute joy to work with! :-) Had an awesome time shooting, we got through a massive range of different sets and styles in our shoot, and came away with some fabulous images! :-) Totally recommend and can't wait to work with Chiara again! :-)

Apologies for the long delay in leaving this reference.

It's taken a couple of years but I finally had my first shoot with Chiara - and boy what an introductory shoot. I booked two sessions on the Bohemian Garden event, and wow what an event. As I write this unsure as to whether this reference is for the stylist, the set designer, event organiser or model - not sure I've worked with someone with such a portfolio of talent.

I've visited the Hacienda a few times, and i've never seen such a transformation. The work and attention to detail in set design and styling simply blew me away. So many sets, with so many shooting opportunities that doubt if I covered half of them in the time I spent there.

Come the modelling, simply awesome, whether working solo, duo or trio - there is no need to direct. Simply discuss the ideas for the set, and the mood you want to convey, then point the camera and let Chiara go. I have so many great shots from the then event I simply didn't know where to start.

I'll be starting to upload images soon, it may take a while.

I really do hope that I'll be able to work with this creative genius again.

Obviously highly recommended.

Thanks Chiara - till next time ...

I had the privilege to attend The Bohemian Garden event at the Hacienda organised by Cheryl. And WOW, what a sensational event! Amazing sets, beautiful clothing, everything crafted in great detail.

Cheryl is a great model, photographer and a very creative stylist. A combination you don’t often find.

The models for this event were Ayla, Joel together with Cheryl a stunning team.

I cannot recommend Cheryl highly enough!!

I know the word “Epic” gets thrown around a lot these days, but trust me, Chiara’s Bohemian Garden event hosted at the Hacienda was truly epic!

Chiara is a legendary model and the most creative person I have had the pleasure of working with. When I arrived my jaw hit the floor looking at the breath taking set designs and the amount of wonderfully procured outfits on offer.

You can tell right away the amount of planning, hard work and dedication that went into this. Chiara had also chosen two stunning models, Ayala and Joel for the event.

The event was so smooth and well organised we were able to flow from set to set easily and there was assistance on hand with the equipment.

We captured some stunning images and I am so proud to have been involved! A huge thank you Chiara!!! Highly recommended!!!

Recently had the joy and privilege of attending Chiara's (soon to be - if it isn't already) LEGENDARY Bohemian Garden event at The Hacienda.

WOW! Never seen anybody pour their heart and soul into an event like this and organise anything on this scale. I could have shot there for a week and still be discovering new things.

Consider my gob well and truly smacked!

Thank you so much! Hugely recommended :)

I've worked with Cheryl many times now. All have been amazing experiences. her beauty is beyong compare. She is professional, enthusiastic and very creative. A great model & photographer, highly talented in many creative areas and an wonderful host. But this time Cheryl went above and beyond. An amzing full day of boho grogeousness. Amazing sets, stunning detail, gorgeous clothing, great choice of models and as always perfect modelling. This blew me away. I hope that this massive effort put in doesn't stop her form doing similar event/workshops/model days. I will be frst in the queue for any more. Money well spent on a day (and subsequent stunning images), i could never have put together myself. Highly recommended is something i say alot on references. I nerver say it unless i mean it. But for this lady i need to find a new phrase to express how amazing she is at everything she does creatively.

What can I say about Chiara that I haven't said already. This time shooting with her was during the first day of her Bohemian Garden themed event at The Hacienda. If you've followed Chiara on her social media, you'd have seen she had put in several months of planning, saucing items for both outfits and sets and then putting it all together. When it all came together at The Hacienda, jaws dropped, "Oh my God", "Epic" and more were heard not only from myself but the other photographers and models during the course of the event days.

Chiara is both an awesome model and person. She cares passionately in creating images both when she is in front of and behind the camera. The time and effort that both she and Simone put into the themed event showed with several sets that presented different themes, styles and options for photographers to capture both the beauty of the sets and the models that Chiara had picked including, a first for the themed events, a male model.

If you have not shot with Chiara or were thinking of but didn't think you could do her justice with your photography, book her. She will elevate your photography to another level both in poses and helpful suggestions to make a taken picture event better.

I don't know where to start with this amazing woman, she is BEYOND creative, honestly you'll probably never meet a more epic person ever!

I got to shoot with Cheryl @the Hacienda for the Bohemian garden event and I was blown away from the start, it was so much to take in ( in the best way possible ) it was E P I C !!!! Cheryl, you really went all out and it was mind blowing! Not only did she work tirelessly to get the set all sorted but she made sure that we were all taken care of in every aspect.

She's so professional and so so easy to get on with, I feel like we've been friends for years! You could just NOT EVER have a bad shoot with this woman, she always delivers excellent work both behind the camera and front!

You rock girl, love you! #bohofever

I had my first shoot with Chiara today which was booked at short notice yesterday. Pre-comms were great and it only took a few messages to confirm the shoot details.

Chiara is lovely to work with and very professional and we got on straight away.

Even though we were shooting on location, she had lots of clothes with her and we quickly selected the outfits for the shoot.

Chiara is a very talented model, beautiful, and very good at posing and was equally happy for me to ask her to adjust her pose slightly to perfect the image.

I really enjoyed working with Chiara and can very highly recommend her, thanks for a great shoot Chiara!

Another fantastic shoot with Chiara, a duo with Natural Happy Woman.

I never tire of working with this great lady. She always produces great images with her posing & styling, & she's generous with her advice on lighting etc.

Apparently she was feeling a little under the weather (the dreaded "bug" that's going around) but that didn't deter her one bit. In front of the camera she was every bit the consumate professional, eager to do her best for me.

As ever, I can't recommend her highly enough.

OMG WOW!!!! What can I say about Cheryl that hasn't already been said? I have admired Cheryl's work as a model and as a photographer for years now and feel she is one of those models that brings so much to the table. She is the sort of person you would give an idea to just to see what she would do with it, She is utterly inspiring!!!

Each shoot is bespoke and unique with great attention to detail carefully thought out, and believe me, so much love and detail is poured into each set! Cheryl and Simon are both very welcoming and went to great lengths to ensure the sets and lighting were perfect for every set.

The whole day was a pure joy, to be in the company of this amazingly talented, beautiful and inspiring lady. what an amazing model.

I learned so much, got some amazing photos and yes I'll be planning more shoots with Cheryl very soon :-)

Thankyou for such a lovely experience

Highly, highly recommend

Wow - what an amazing lady and location. Booked originally just the location, which is a fantastic and eclectic mix of boho, hippy and Romany sets that fitted perfectly with my Fortune Teller inspired shoot. In addition to great sets, Chiara furnished us with drinks, assistance (even roping in the long suffering Simon to hold reflectors) and advice. Then offered to join in and model for a few shots too with Ria Fantastic (think the girls were having way too much fun). Sent home with freshly baked bread from Simon which was awesome too. Fab location, fab people and great fun. Thank you!

Absolutely recommended without hesitation.

What a pleasure and honour it was to have my first shoot with Chiara at her home which was an amazing experience with this talented and experienced model.

The days shoot was an inspiration of amazing creativity of ideas we worked using the various sets Chiara has to offer.

Chiara also excels in offering advice on camera angles and lighting that best accentuate her body especially when shooting artistic nude images.

We had a full day shoot with ideas and inspiration for the numerous sets which made for awesome images.

Thanks must also go to Simone who assisted us on sets and lighting to make everything work.

Chiara is very professional model, fun to work with and a beautiful person who I highly recommend.

I'm now looking forward to and can't wait for our next shoot.

This was our second shoot, and again Chiara was superbly elegant, professional, accommodating, and good humoured. Additionally her styling skills have realised 3 unique garden-built sets. There are very few models on PP of this calibre, and I really cannot recommend her highly enough. And thank you both for the lovely meal and conversation.

Had the pleasure of meeting and working with Chiara at her place on Monday, I thought I may have had to cancel due to traffic delays but Chiara was very understanding and agreed to push the shoot back by a couple of hours.

Chiara has an amazing look and style, (as well as an excellent ability to change how she looks),and is extremely relaxed away from and infront of the camera whilst at the same time being a complete professional in her approach to working. She can easily move into poses without direction while still being receptive to the photographers ideas, this makes for a really enjoyable and creative shoot especially when the excellent props/set-ups in her garden are used as well as her huge wardrobe of clothes and props.

The whole shoot was a very enjoyable and fun experiance, as for the photos I've got alot to work on and will be posting a selection soon, (unfortunately I got so engrossed in the shoot we never got round to using all the shooting set-ups in the garden:).

To sum up I thouraghly recommend working with Chiara and look forward to doing so again.

It just doesn't get better than this. I had a 3 hour shoot with Chiara, and extended to 4. We whipped through concept after concept and she delivered styling, creativity and pose after pose. All while laughing, chatting and generally having a whale of a time.

If there is one model I plan to shoot with again, its Chiara - and I highly recommend her to you!

I have worked with Chiara on a few occasions, so I knew she would be perfect for a sci fi themed shoot I was planning.

Chiara is one of the most creative and talented models I have been fortunate enough to work with. She worked with great enthusiasm, energy and passion during the shoot to help me capture some of my best work so far.

We also seem to have a recurring theme of hilarious playlist choices which gave us a laugh during the shoot!

In short, it was an epic shoot and if you have never worked with Chiara, you really should organise a shoot with her.

Highly recommended!!

As I hadn’t worked with Chiara for a while, never a good thing, we arranged a quick shoot around the back streets of Brighton one early evening after I finished the day job and she was done with the business she had in Brighton. I did worry a bit about overused locations but of course Chiara made them all look fresh and original. If you’re looking for fantastic styling and posing skills look no further than Chiara - and she’ll make the shoot huge fun too :)

I've wanted to shoot with Chiara for absolutely ages. When the opportunity arose, I grabbed it with both hands. Chiara is such a genuine, open, warm person - we just hit it off from the start. Couldn't stop chatting and laughing all day.

Plan was to shoot outside at Chiara's home but the weather was really unkind to us (Even though it was late July...) Cold, grey and drizzling most of the day. But Chiara never complained. We just got on with it and created some absolutely astonishing images.

Can't believe how many different looks/styles we created. And we NAILED them :)

Top, top model. (Beautiful human being... :))

Cannot wait until our next shoot.

Recommended? Hell yeah! :)

Lovely shoot with Chiara yesterday at a woodland and beach location near her home. As always, a total dream to photograph. Highly creative, enthusiastic and hardworking...and great company just to be with. I can't recommend her highly enough. Looking forward to the next time...
