Claire and I shot at the awesome location Burford Manor on Friday and it was a great day, well worth the long trip (especially for her)

After a tour from Bella (the owner) we spent the day exploring the Manor and it's grounds - including a truly stunning barn - and finding really cool ways shoot the outfits that Claire and I had picked out. Helped by her tenacious enthusiasm and fantastic creativity we effortlessly worked through our set list and created some fab results.

At the end of the day we had a lot of great images and also some more ideas for future shoots. To be honest we could shoot there for a week and still not have explored all the options. We are already planning a return shoot.

As I've said before I'm not sure what other great things I can say about Claire beyond what I (and others) have said time and time again below. She is one of the most dedicated and hardworking people I know and is an utter joy to be around and work with.

Thanks for everything Claire. The last two years and the 20+ shoots have flown by and I hope we have many more to come.

Very highly recommended (obviously)

I frequently shoot with Claire and she is a beautiful young lady, an excellent model and a delightful person.

I wholly recommend Claire.

I've shot with Claire a couple of times this year, yesterday was our first social distanced shoot since some lockdown restrictions were eased. This was an outdoor woodland shoot close to my home.

As ever Claire arrived on time and was immaculately prepared.

Claire was her normal delightful self & had sorted out a lovely sporty outfit which showed her lovely physique to the best effect.

It was a rather cold, dark day but Claire shone through as she always does.

I very highly recommend Claire to you all.

Thanks for a great day, Claire - you're a star.

This was my first shoot with Clair today.

Clair was very friendly and great fun to work with.

She is a very beautiful, professional model…who poses effortlessly and does her utmost to ensure you get great images.

The whole shoot was relaxed and just naturally flowed.

Highly recommended.

Thanks Clair for a great shoot hope we can work together again soon.

Claire and I finally managed to have the awesome location shoot we wanted up in the hills of Shropshire amongst the ruins of an old mine. The unpredictable UK weather had caused us to re-plan or reschedule on a number of previous occasions but this time...

In the end it was even better than I hoped and we spent the day exploring the site (avoiding the sheep :-)) and finding cool places to shoot the outfits that Claire had picked out. With her tenacious enthusiasm and creativity we effortlessly worked through our set list.

At the end of the day we had a lot of great images and also some more ideas for future shoots.

I'm not sure what other great things I can say about Claire beyond what I (and others) have said time and time again below. She is one of the most dedicated and hardworking people I know, is an utter joy to be around and really easy to work with. I wish I'd started working with her years earlier :-D

Thanks for everything Claire. The last two years have flown by - twenty shoots down, roll on the next twenty...

Very highly recommended (obviously ;-))

Had a wonderful shoot with the wonderful Claire today, caring and friendly, great posing and improvisation with any prop and a huge range of expressions, good range of outfits and happy to try suggestions I came away with a great set of pictures and am really happy with the experience, thanks Claire!

It was fantastic to work with the very beautiful and charming Claire for a second time. I have only known her for a very short time, yet I am deeply touched by her kindness, generosity, warmth, friendliness and affection. Her lovely way with my elderly mother will stay with me forever.

Prior to our shoot, Claire offered to sell me a number of outfits and accessories at a fixed price which I accepted. She came around with two big bags of full of treasure!

Claire came to my home for our follow up shoot where we took advantage of the fabulous July weather by shooting vintage fashion in the back garden.

I genuinely hope that I will be able to shoot with this highly versatile model and diamond of a person as she has made such a lasting impact.

Thank you so much for everything Claire, least of all a great shoot. What else can I do but leave you with my highest recommendation?

A fabulous lady to work with. Excellent communication skills, very chatty on set and poses perfectly with little or no direction. Highly recommended.

This was a most enjoyable shoot with Claire at her home. The rear of her house is south-facing and the light was excellent, particularly in her lounge where the net curtains diffused the light nicely.

Having provided suggestions for outfits and poses prior to the shoot, Claire had everything organised for when I arrived. After a chat and coffee, Claire worked quickly and efficiently through poses and changes giving me excellent material to capture.

Claire was very easy and amiable to work with and our conversation never flagged for the entire two hours. Her portfolio speaks for her photogenic appearance and figure and I can only recommend Claire highly to any photographer.

Well, we had it all planned out. Outdoor yoga shoot, top of a hill, around sunset. Then the great British weather intervened! Not to worry - Claire is nothing if not versatile - we shot indoors and messed about with light, and shot some dramatic single light work, and we experimented with different light modifiers.

Another great shoot - and the yoga shoot will be revisited on a day when the weather gods look more kindly on us :-)

Highly recommended, of course.

Claire is another model whom I have wanted to work with for some years. Lately I have been finding her portfolio very difficult to pass over as it appealed to me increasingly.

Judging by all her pre shoot communication, I knew that Claire would be very friendly, approachable and easy to get on with. However, upon meeting her, I found her to be much lovelier than I had initially expected.

During conversation, I quickly realised that I had the greatest respect and admiration for her as I found her to be completely selfless, deeply caring, compassionate and full of genuine empathy.

On set I found her to be an incredibly dynamic model who went through a variety of styles from topless and lingerie through to vintage fashion.

I enjoyed every moment of our shoot, and I do hope that I will get another chance to work with her again. I have promised myself not to leave it so long next time.

Thank you so much Claire, I am so glad that I finally got to work with you.

Being new to model photography I did a shoot with Claire along with hatcher at an old converted railway station.

Claire was very quick to put my mind at ease and despite battling with storm Hannah and a power cut, I was able to work with both her and hatcher to get some awesome images. Her experience in front of the camera really showed which also translated into being able to give some steer to a newbie on ideas and composition.

I'd highly recommend Claire and would love to work with her again in the future! Thank you for an awesome shoot and for baring with me on my first time!

I've been shooting with Claire regularly for over 18 months now and I don't think I'll ever tire of her :-) She's enthusiastic, professional, fun, expressive, versatile, gorgeous, creative and always works hard to create stunning images.

For our latest shoot we hired a converted railway station (with it's own private line) which promised to provide a great backdrop to shoot at. Storm Hannah did it's worst with wind, rain and really cold temperatures but that didn't phase Claire who took it in her stride, climbed on carriages, balanced on railway lines and modelled the flimsy and sheer dresses we had hired for the day as if we were in the middle of summer :-)

The results were outstanding and it was only possible with Claire's awesome dedication.

Once again Claire, I thank you for your support, your ideas, your friendship, that refreshing honesty and for the infectious energy that drives me to take better pictures.

Very highly recommended.

It is Bluebell season and Claire knows a fabulous location full of bluebells so away we went.

As ever a lovely shoot with a wonderful young lady, brim full of ideas and appropriate clothing.

Shooting with Claire is always productive and huge fun.

As ever completely recommended for any photographer, us Claire and you definitely won't be disappointed.

I had my first (but certainly not my last) shoot with Claire today. What a pleasure....she is the consummate professional; totally at ease in front of the camera and very easy to work with. Plenty of ideas and lots of laughs along the way led to a very successful shoot.

AND.... I’m delighted with the results.

BasAndrews

Had another great shoot with Claire. As always she delivered with poses and expression.

Thank you again Claire.

Andy Walk

Had a location shoot with Claire yesterday.

It was an unusually warm day with clear blue skies and Claire managed to brighten up such a lovely day even more!

Claire is a such a delightful person to work with along with being a stunning lady with a fantastic physique.

Claire is a superb model either bringing ideas or following instructions

Wholeheartedly recommended ...............

Had my 2nd shoot with Claire today and what a thoroughly enjoyable time it was. We had a wander through a woodland that is local to Claire shooting winter fashion. She knew all the best spots to use and she simply flowed from pose to pose.

A quick return to her home for a change of outfits and we were off again. Even though the light had changed drastically by now and the temperature had dropped further, Claire continued to give the shoot her all, demonstrating what a true professional she is.

Professional, friendly, hard working, knowledgeable and just so easy to get on with, I cannot recommend her too highly. I am really looking forward to shoot number 3 with her. Thank you Claire :-).
