Had the absolute pleasure of working with Diana again last night. She is more a friend now as we've shot together several times. This shoot was a first for her as we decided to do a duo beach shoot at sunset. Along with her friend Tasha we drove to Bournemouth to catch the golden evening light.

As always Diana presents herself beautifully, with hair and makeup done to a high standard and a suitable array of outfits.

Conversation and laughs are never lacking, along with Tasha, we had such a fun shoot. The weather was on our side and the golden light did not disappoint. We shot a combination of duo shots and individual images, using the sand dunes and the shoreline. Diana requires very little direction, although she is highly critical of her own images. This is not a bad trait and shows she only accepts the highest quality images.

It was genuinely a great way to spent a Saturday evening and the images on the back of the camera look fabulous.

Thank you Diana for such an enjoyable shoot, hope to see you again soon.

Steve.

I finally got to shoot with Diana after a few attempts failed with weather and lockdown etc. We had arranged a beach shoot and as usual it was the Hottest day of the year. Every man and his dog were at the beach when we arrived in the evening.

Despite the busy beach, Diana produced some great posing and was professional yet fun to be around. Well prepared (apart from forgetting her beach towel, haha), she had some good outfit choices and we were able to produce some quality images.

Great model and lovely person. Highly recommended!

Diana and I had a shoot booked for the end of the month. We have chatted a lot online during the lockdown period and she has become a good friend in this time, and were excited to be shooting together again. However, the other evening I received a message from her asking if I was free the next evening, and she wondered if I wanted to shoot. The weather forecast was very mixed, and the photographer she was supposed to be shooting with was understandably a little hesitant about travelling for 90 minutes for what could be a washed out evening. As I had no plans I did not hesitate to say yes, as Diana is one of my favourite models to shoot with, and also one of the loveliest people I have had the privilege of meeting since I started my photography journey.

I was aware of a suitable location that was mid-way between where we both live, and we agreed that we would meet up, whatever the weather, and that if it rained we would be brave and do a rain shoot. However, come that next evening the clouds cleared and we were blessed with a lovely June evening.

We both brought a bag of outfits items with us, and rattled our way through a variety of looks. We were shooting in woodland, and I really wanted a set in bright colours, and had showed Diana an outfit I thought would work. I'm not sure she was entirely convinced but trusted me enough to try it, and she absolutely nailed it. They are definitely my favourite images from the whole shoot.

This turned into our longest shoot together so far, and we shot well into dusk. I had brought a portable strobe with me and even as the light and temperature dipped Diana continued to give 100% and made the most of her night off. we are both so happy with the images - I sometimes tend to over plan my shoots and it was lovely to just head out with a friend with just a few basic styling ideas, to a location neither of us had shot in before, to just enjoy making photos.

Diana is an absolute gem, and I cannot recommend her highly enough.

This was my second shoot with Diana, something I have been very eagerly awaiting since the first one we had back in September. As with the last one, we decided to shoot at Diana's home, in order to maximise the time we would have for the shoot.

Diana was ready and waiting for me when i arrived, with an assortment of outfits laid out and ready for a quick change as and when we needed them. As arranged in advance, I had also brought a handful of items that Diana was keen to try out.

I have been in close contact with Diana since our first shoot, and I feel the feeling of trust that has developed over this time shows in our images. We had shared a host of inspiration images prior to the shoot, and Diana had expressed an interest in trying some shots that would push her out of her comfort zone. It was always with the agreement though that I would be happy of she changed her mind before or during the shoot.

Diana was, as I had anticipated, absolutely fabulous. Her posing was confident at all times, and her fun, sparkling personality made her a perfect shoot partner for the few hours we had together. I am so happy with the images we have made together, and I honestly cannot wait to shoot with her again.

In November last year I replied to a casting call that Diana put out, and told her that I loved her portfolio but that I didn't feel ready to do her awesome looks justice. Ten months on from that and we finally shot together on Saturday, and it was worth every day of that wait.

We decided that we would shoot in Diana's flat and I would take a studio light and some backgrounds with me. We chatted a fair amount beforehand about ideas I had, and Diana was very enthusiastic about them. We only had two hours, in which we would have to set up, shoot and then pack away so time was not on our side. However, Diana was fully prepared for my arrival, having laid various outfits out for us to choose, and with a quick shift around of furniture we got started.

This shoot is definitely now on my list as one of the most fun shoots I have done. Diana has a sparkling personality and is one of those people who is beautiful both inside and out, and this really shows in the results. We hit it off right from the start and we are both really happy with the images.

I can't recommend Diana enough. Two hours was simply not enough (for either of us) and we are already discussing our next shoot. I hope this one was the first of many more to come. Thank you Diana for being so awesome!

Shot again with the lovely Diana, she was ready to go when I arrived and had organised clothes and jewellery. She is great to work with has a lovely temperament and is fun and enthusiastic which makes for a really great day and some fantastic shots... (I'm REALLY happy with them!). She also got me a cup cake... so win win...

Thanks Diana, shots coming soon!

Had the best shoot with Diana today. It's been nearly 3 years since our last shoot (where has that time gone), however Diana did not disappoint, in fact she has simply got 100x better and I'm so glad we booked to shoot again.

We arranged to shoot at my home studio and agreed on a boudoir style shoot. One of the very nicest people, Diana is so much fun, bubbly and eager to get going. She bought a plethora of suitable outfits and makeup done to a high standard.

We shot a combination of natural light and studio ring light. I was very conscious Diana has not shot boudoir in the past and therefore was careful to make sure the images we shot were both flattering and not too revealing.

Diana simply exceeded my expectations, we ended up shooting some amazing boudoir images both soft and sensual. She was completely comfortable posing and although outside her comfort zone, felt really empowered.

I would highly recommend this lovely lady, she has a fabulous connection with the camera and we have already discussed a couple of ideas for a future shoot.

Thank you Diana, it was my pleasure shooting with you today, can't wait to share the images.

(Glad you liked the chocolate cake...!)

Steve.

This was my second shoot with Diana and my only criticism is that it was far too long since the first one! Great communications beforehand made arranging things easy and she turned up with the exact looks we had discussed.

Shooting was fun and easy as she really doesn't need any directions but is equally able to follow it when required. We had such a laugh and the results speak for themselves. Already got our next shoot arranged and I cannot wait!

When you work with a model that has total enthusiasm for creative modeling then the experience becomes so much more than just a pastime. This is what happens when you work with the very beautiful Diana. 100% Recommended

absolutely loved working with Diana! Such a lovely lady, we got on like a house on fire! So beautiful and such a delight to watch her model, as she's not awkward and doesn't need any direction of what to do. Just a complete natural! She had lots of brilliant ideas in the shoot, very creative, fun person to work with! I'd 100% recommend Diana to work with and I really can't wait to work with her again myself! I wish you the best with your pregnancy and I'm sure I'll see you again soon! Thankyou for letting me paint your baby bump!! x

Oakmist

Diana is a stunning model with a beautiful, natural smile. Pre-shoot communication was very good as we discussed ideas and she also had plenty of ideas for shots during the shoot. She needed very little direction and was a pleasure to work with.

100% recommended.

Diana came round for a gender reveal shoot following the scan on her baby bump. Hope everything goes well for the birth of her new daughter next March/April!

Communications before, during and after the shoot were excellent. She has a bouncy and energetic personality, was cheerful throughout, took direction well and had ideas of her own for the shoot.

I thoroughly recommend working with her and I am already planning my next shoot with Diana in the spring.

Steve Flack

What a great first shoot with a brilliant model. Pre-comms with Diana were excellent, we agreed the shooting style, venue, clothes and accessories etc. Due to the weather conditions we had to slightly amend the time of the shoot. Diana arrived on time ready to work.

A really fun and engaging model, Diana was totally relaxed and able to pose effortlessly, giving her own interpretation and taking direction when we changed the lighting etc. Diana brought loads of outfits which we were able to use and were appropriate for the shoot.

The whole shoot was great fun and we had plenty of laughs throughout. Really pleased with the images in-camera and can't wait to publish the final results. I'm sure we could have extended the shoot however the fading light beat us to it...!

We would highly recommend Diana and wouldn't hesitate to collaborate with her again in the future.

Thank you once again for making the shoot so enjoyable.

Fourth shoot with Diana, this time it was a beach setting for a glamorous look - aced by Miss V :D

As always excellent coms and great ideas for the mood board. The weather could have been kinder, yet Diana posed on despite the cool summer conditions, braving the sea (which I can confirm was a little on the nippy side). We ran out of time, though got some fab images, including some great balancing!

Rather than read this though, just arrange a shoot with Diana and find out for yourself ;)

I've just had the great pleasure of shooting with Diana for a second time. There isn't much I can add that the other references haven't already said! Diana is friendly, professional and a real joy to work with. Photographers - book a shoot with Diana ASAP. 100% recommended. :)

I managed to grab a few shots of Diana at a shoot last weekend and can say that Diana was warm,friendly,beautiful and great company. Im hoping to work with her properly in the very near future and would recommend her as a model to everyone

Say Something

Something tells me I am going to be leaving a lot of references for Diana simply because she is such a great model/person to work with on projects and has such a cool feel about her in images. She was kind enough to work with me on a project this time with my daughter I am working on and I am so glad her and her Dad were part of the day. I can't say enough good things about her and I am sure this will not be the last recommendation I leave for her. I highly recommend her to anyone on the site regardless of background and experience. She is a star! :)

Say Something

I had a fantastic shoot with Diana last weekend. Her precoms are second to none and she is one who will keep posted on what was happening every step of the way. There are no surprises with her and when you get settled in to working together she is an absolute joy to work with on ideas. She brings loads of outfits and adapts to what is happening in the moment. She poses without direction but also listens and adapts as well. I can't say enough good things about her and would recommend her to anyone on the site. We have already planned our next shoot and look forward to working with her again shortly.

This was the third shoot with Diana and as usual she delivered a great shoot :) Excellent coms, a joy to work with - resulting in a very difficult decision to reduce down the number of favourite shots!

The usual easy mix of creative and directed posing, along with great patience when it took a while to get some of the lighting right. Really happy with the variety we managed to create :D

As always, Highly Recommended :D

Richard James

An absolute pleasure working with Diana, 100% recommend and I will surely be working with her again.

Diana's pre-shoot communication is excellent and her professionalism during the shoot is fantastic. A great sense of humour which made the session just fly by, easy to direct and offered her own ideas as well - a real total gem and naturally beautiful.

Her chaperone didn't interfere and left us to the shoot and even offered to carry equipment when we went on location - a wonderful person.

Book her now you won't be disappointed, definitely one to watch.
