Had an awesome 2nd shoot with Val today. Due to some last minute circumstances it ended up being a remote shoot which I have only done once before. This was at Inspire Studios with Ella Slingsby. We did so well together getting shots just right and making sure the photos looked great, which they definitely do. Val had a lot of inspiration and ideas which was amazing and these have come out so well. I'd happily recommend her, and would love to work with her again soon!

Val brought some excellent poses to the shoot which were so unique!! I absolutely love the shots we got, so thank you very much Val I would love to work with you again!!! ☺️🙏🏼

I worked with Val for the first time today at a 1-2-1 session organised by Inspire Studios and it was a true pleasure to work with her.

From the minute she came in she was friendly and relaxed. Time really flew by and I couldn't believe it when our time was up! We got through so many ideas in our short amount of time and from the BOC I was very happy with our results. Can't wait to see the final edited images and I do hope we will work together again very soon :)

I worked with Val during my studio day at Inspire Studios and it was amazing!

She captured my movements and poses so well at the right times on the floor and in the air on the aerial hoop.

She didn't mind repeating a movement several times until it was perfect.

Val is very nice and friendly, I really enjoyed our photo session. Time just flew by with her.

I highly recommend her and look forward to seeing her again!

Worked with Val during my studio day at Inspire Studios and I was amazed! From communicating styles, co ordinating looks and taking the shots she was incredibly professional and worked to an incredible standard to produce some awesome shots. Loved every second working with her and look forward to doing so again in future! Can't recommend enough

Retro Rob

Oh yes! what a brilliant start to my Retro Rob Tour at Inspire Studios with the amazing Val B.

The theme this time was Fred Astaire and Hollywood.

Also unleashing for the first time ever my new addition Mr Bojangles! my tribute to Sammy Davis Jr.

Well as you can see from the upload on Val's page she absolutely smashed it! what am awesome shot.

And this is why I love working with this incredibly talented photographer.

If the image is just a dream in your head right now Val will make it a reality!

Thank you so much Val creating that magic you do so well I look forward to seeing you again soon.

It was such a joy to work with Val last week at Inspire Studios, the time flew by as we were having so much fun! Val was excellent at catching my dance poses just at the right time, a real skill in dance photography! I would highly recommend the wonderful Val

After being rained off of our first shoot, we finally managed to finish off where we left off.

On both occasions pre-comms were spot on, couldn't have asked for more and everything was covered.

Val is a genuine pleasure to work with, bringing ideas and lots of enthusiasm to the shoot. She has a real passion for photography and fresh concepts. On top of this she made me feel at ease from the get go and is very easy to talk to. Just an all round lovely person!

From the edits I have seen so far and the BOC shots, I can safely say that Val captured some wonderful images.

Highly recommended 😊

Thank you Val!

Had a lushus shoot with Val at Inspire Studios - she was so lovely and we had some great shots from dance to hair flicks! Even portraits which is my biggest fear but Val was really lovely and made me feel at ease with them and had a few laughs - great organisation and such a lovely lady!

Recommended ? Definitely!!

Wonderful shoot with Val during my tour down at Inspire Studios.

She is a really wonderful lady and we had a great time shooting together :) The 2 hours went by all too quickly! We did a mixture of dance shapes, hoop and lingerie. Val was super friendly and encouraging throughout our shoot. She let me free flow for a lot of the shoot but was also happy to give some direction too :) All in all, Val was a pleasure to work with.

Brilliant to see some of the pictures coming through already- I absolutely love them!

I really hope I get to shoot with Val when I visit Inspire again :)

Thanks a lot Val!

I had a lovely shoot with Val last week at Inspire studios, one of my first since coming out of lockdown.

Val is super friendly, organised,creative and professional. We worked on a few ideas using a beautiful red dress and then we went for a more fashion rock chick look with plenty of attitude which I loved.

The shoot just flowed and it was very productive 2hrs, lots of wonderful images.

Thanks for a great shoot.

I had a lovely shoot with Val during my model day at Inspire Studios. I found her really friendly, considerate, creative and enthusiastic :-)

She bought some beautiful coloured scarves along which worked so well, and together with my outfits and accessories we achieved a gorgeous range of images! I would very happily work with her again, and recommmend her to others :-)

Val was an absolute delight to work with.

Pre comms were excellent she knew exactly what she wanted and gave helpful guidance throughout the shoot.

Not only is she very talented, she is an absolute pleasure to work with.

I highly recommend Val to anyone and hope to work with her again in the future.

Thank you Val!

The stars aligned and I got to shoot with Val!! Ahhh I was so pleased.

Val is marvellous !! We've been chasing each others tails for a little while, so it was so good to finally shoot and my gosh!! I was so impressed. The images are insane!

Comms have always been great and communication on the day was so clear, it was a delight. We knocked os many looks out. Couldn't believe how quick we went through our sets!

Val has a great vision of what she would like to create and works so well with you to achieve it. Above all this, Val is so personable, a real great sense of humour :)

Thank you so much lovely! Would absolutely recommend and happily work with you anytime!

I was thrilled to get the chance of working with Val again, she’s a real super star. Not only is she’s a brilliant photographer, she’s is exceptionally considerate and respectful - as demonstrated today when we were shooting outdoors. She kindly brought coffee and extra layers along and was always checking to see if I was ok.

We hit the ground running at our shoot on the Isle of Portland, covering a range of ballet style looks. Val is really encouraging which is great as it means she really gets the best out of her model (me!)

She shared the back of the camera with me after each sequence and I was thrilled with the images she was capturing. She really has a great eye for a good shot.

The time flew by and yet we had a very productive and successful shoot. I really hope to get th chance of shooting with Val again - very highly recommended :)

It was such a joy to meet and a work with Val at a duo studio day that I was hosting with Retro Rob at the amazing Inspire Studio. We all hit it off straight away and had a very productive shoot. Val is spot on with her angles and frames the shot beautiful. She was so complementary about our outfits and looks. All in all it was a very rewarding shoot and I really hope that she books us again when we return to Inspire this November.

Many thanks Val for a very enjoyable shoot - highly recommended!

Great shoot at the Inspire Studios Ltd with Val!

We managed to create some beautiful portrait and dance shoots together.

Val is a lovely lady and talented photographer that was keen to listen to my ideas which made the shoot very productive and enjoyable.

She constantly gave me feedback after a few pictures were taken.

Val was very friendly, relaxed and professional.

I am so pleased with the result and wouldn't recommend her enough.
