Second shoot with Claret. Why did I book her again? Well - it's because I thoroughly enjoyed our first shoot, and I'm a firm believer in the old adage of 'you can't have too much of a good thing'. :)

This time we played mainly with corsets and petticoats. As before, Claret's enthusiasm, creativity and styling skills played a big part. She really is bl**dy good to work with.

Here's to a third shoot. :)

I had the pleasure of a half-day shoot with Sue yesterday. And what a pleasure it was!

Sue is enthusiastic and creative - her input was invaluable - and her make up skills, her adventurous wardrobe and her excellent eye for styling also contributed greatly to the success of the shoot. As well as all that she has a sparkling personality and a great sense of humour, so the shoot was not only very productive but was also hugely enjoyable.

Thank you ma'am. Thoroughly enjoyed working with you!

Avant Garde

There are simply not enough superlatives for this divine lady!

I got to work with Sue on a duo shoot, something that we had done once and were aching to do again at some point! This beautiful woman really gives a je ne sais quoi to images, perhaps coming from all the time spent in on the stage.

Apart from being exceedingly gorgeous she will bring warmth and smiles with her everywhere she goes, and her laugh is simply infectious!

I cannot recommend Sue highly enough.

Sue was initially going to assist Avant Garde with her outfit, but the idea quickly evolved into a duo set with the two of them in front of the camera, with a natural theme offered by the Studland Bay House. Sue's natural elegance fitted perfectly into this, and was a real joy to work with. The results were outside of my normal area, so I was delighted to find that I was in good hands.

The two of them are an absolute blast, and our time flew by. Thank you Sue!

Second shoot with Sue and as before it was an awesome experience. Sue put lots of effort in to getting the shots we wanted and was comfortable and professional in adapting to our somewhat muddy location.

We got some great shots and it's lots of fun working with Sue - she's loads of fun and the time went too quickly!

Top marks also for getting up so early in the morning to get to London for 8am - what a pro!

Thanks again Sue.

Another great shoot with Claret, such a great lady, easy to get along with, always well prepared. Her pre communications are always great, plenty of ideas and always something in the shoot for both of us to benefit. When in the studio, time always flies, so much fun and always something to talk about with plenty of laughter along the way, as well as the serious stuff we do. Totally recommended, very reliable and can be counted upon. Thanks again.

Claret was my model today for a life drawing 'sitting'. Given that she had never done this before she was great. A real natural and the time just flew by. If I wasn't about to go to the other side of the world i'm sure we would work together again. I think she might have found her calling because one could not ask more from a life model. Thank you.

Absolutely fantastic location and studio shoot with Sue today. Got through a whole load of different locations and outfits in different parts of London.

Sue had unbelievable energy and never stopped smiling, showing considerable skill in posing and threw herself in to every situation with a lot of enthusiasm.

A great selection of clothes too, which were perfect for the situations, and did her own make up to a great standard.

An absolute pleasure and we got a lot of awesome images. Highly recommended from me!

Came prepared and super easy to get on with, was a short shoot but we got great! Very friendly and talkative and good with posing, definitely recommended! :)

My first shoot was long coming due to timing for us both as we have wanted to work together for awhile. I'm so pleased we have managed to pull it off at long last as it was fantastic

I wanted a vintage feel to the shoot and Claret pulled it off to a tee with outstanding makeup and hair, also some outfits fitting the style.

I will be more than happy to work on future projects with Claret so I can build on a style that I feel she has the look for in my eyes.

Very highly recommended for any portfolio.

What a fantastic lady Sue is, really fun to work with along with posing well without direction and great with doing her own makeup to suit the mood/style we were working with. She brought a huge array of outfits and props and wish we’d had more time to use more. Would highly recommend working with Sue and would love to work with her again.

I absolutely love working with Claret! We first worked together on a location shoot - Claret assisted and went above and beyond what was asked of her, dashing off to save the day (getting stockings!) and even brought a hot water bottle as we were outside in Autumn! Having a genuine interest in photography and all aspects of a shoot makes Claret the perfect person to assist on any shoot. I then had the pleasure of making over Claret for a vintage shoot. Although it was a new style, Claret came extremely prepared and had thought through her outfits perfectly, even bringing amazing accessories to match. An absolute natural in front of the camera, she needed hardly any direction and oozed glamour! Add to that, shes an absolute blast to be around and you'll not regret booking Claret! x

First shoot with Claret and the best shoot!!!. She is a great model to work with and I really enjoyed the shoot. She is always keen to get some great images and this time was no exception. I can't wait to process the images and see the final results.

I had the pleasure of shooting Claret for a few hours earlier today. What a great fun shoot we had too. :)

Claret arrived bang on time with more outfits than we would have been able to work through in a week. (Y) Within minutes we were chatting like we had known each other for years, let's just say that Claret is easy to talk to, she has a great sense of humour and is a pleasure to be around.

We managed to work our way through a handful of sets, both indoors and out on the local heathland. I am delighted with the images because Claret had the perfect outfits to complement the autumnal colours on the heathland.

Claret really didn't mind the muddy walk to the heath and was happy to get amongst the bracken to capture the incredible colours. I thoroughly enjoyed my time with Claret and we are already thinking about another shoot to capture some of the ideas we didn't have time for today. I look forward to that immensely.

I have absolutely no hesitation in giving Claret my 100% recommendation. (Y)

Thanks for a lovely day and some great images Claret, I look forward to our next shoot :)

This is another in a series of shoots i have done with Claret. This one was part of a group shoot at a Country home retreat. As always she had a vast array of outfits for the various session planned, we had great pre shoot communications which meant we both got out of the shoot what we needed. An absolute pleasure to work with and always very reliable. I cannot recommend her enough and I'm sure there will be other occasions when we work together again. Thanks

South House Retreat

Claret attended a group shoot held here a few days ago. She was lovely, glamorous, charming with a wicked curvy figure the photographers loved. More than welcome to come back!

Suzy Monty

Met Claret today at a country house shoot near Dorchester for mature models.

Found it an absolute delight to work with her. She had loads of good outfits and modelled well.

A very genuine and delightful person.

Hope to work with you again soon x

Lady Molly

I messaged claret after seeing her images to ask if she would like to take part in a mature models group shoot I was organising. Her communication was second to none and she showed up in plenty of time for the day with some beautiful outfits, and hair and make up done to perfection. Claret is a lovely lady with amazing style and it was a real privilege to have her along. She worked well with the photographers and the spaces available and I would highly recommend her. She would be most welcome if I ever organised another shoot day.

I met Claret at a shoot for models of a certain age today, however I think all the ladies including Claret were stunning for their age. Claret was professional and fun to spend the day with. She had a huge mix of outfits and was kind enough to offer a lend of any of her clothes if I wanted.

Andy Manns

It was a real pleasure to shoot with Claret! We had decided on a film noir theme & she turned up with the perfect costume (several actually so I had a choice but her first costume was perfect!), she had had her hair done to match the theme & either knew or had researched the looks & mannerisms of film noir femme fatales! She is a really nice person & great to work with, hopefully we will shoot together again!
