This was my first shoot with Elle although she had been on my list since I started in model photography. Not only is she one of the most beautiful women ever but her lovely, sweet personality was a joy. Working with her was a fabulously fulfilling experience from start to finish.

I had arranged a shoot at Saracen House with the first part being a duo with Lucia Needham (well it had to be done 😊) followed by a two-hour solo shoot. When Elle arrived, I was still working with Lucia (see reference on her portfolio) so I didn’t get much chance to talk with Elle alone until later in the afternoon and it was then that I found out what a really great person she is. Elle is so friendly and chatty and the time flew by as we motored through as many sets as we could. Even so I felt terrible that we only used a fraction of the massive case of outfits that she had brought with her. I could have shot another 8 hour session easily.

For this reason alone, I will be booking another session with Elle as soon as I can find a window of opportunity.

Elle has been modelling since she was 16 and it shows. Her professionalism and skill is off the scale and whether she is modelling mini dresses, ball gowns, wedding dresses or lingerie she always looks a million dollars.

If you are looking for a fashion shoot model who will deliver on every level, then do yourself a favour and book some time with Elle. You will not regret it.

100% recommended.

Thank you for a lovely afternoon Elle. 😊

I had another visit to my studio by Elle today. We have worked together a number of times and Elle never fails to impress me both as a person and as a top model.

We discussed ideas based on my 1930s project and Elle quickly adapted by bringing suitable dresses and styling to the set.

Having created a versatile lighting rig Elle posed endlessly with freedom and creativity delivering quality and style which I believe few models could achieve.

The results were stunning and made my day. As a photographer you are constantly aiming for perfection but very rarely achieve it. Working with Elle that goal is possible and in such a short time.

The day was relaxed but highly focused as we shot fine art portraits and flowing movements.

Elle works tirelessly to achieve you aims, constantly taking effortless direction whilst adding finesse to every frame.

Once again Elle has my highest recommendation as a model at the top of her profession.

Thank you Elle.

Worked with Elle at the Montrose studio day, she was really friendly, great to work with, and although the shoot was quick, delivered 2 amazing sets of images. Everything you would expect from purpleport royalty 😂

Last month I shot with Elle in person for the second time when I attended a group shoot she was doing with Darcie Louise and Bella Grace at Montrose Studios. I had an hour to shoot with her, shared with another photographer, during which we shot two outfits, each on a different set. The outfits were great and her posing was excellent with her not requiring direction but being open to any suggestions also. We produced some great images together and I am very happy with the results. We were able to converse well as we were shooting and it was great shooting with Elle again. I definitely recommend her.

Elle hardly needs any recommendation from me. But, after a shoot at Montrose Studio organised by her, Darcie Louise and Bella Grace I'll just briefly add my praises... Very well organised; cracking looks and outfits; posing perfection; easy to direct; pleasant personality; professional and knows her job. 'Nuff said - I hope there's a next time.

What can you say about Elle that hasn't already been said! Such a lovely person and an outstanding model! Always a pleasure working with her.

Our last shoot was at a group event arranged by Elle herself! As such, we didn't have much time together but the shots are amazing. Elle never fails to deliver!

Looking forward to working with her again soon!

CCM Studio

Shot with Elle as part of a studio event at Montrose Studio.

She is an absolute delight to work with

Although I only had a very limited time with Elle she was brilliant at posing and I was able to get a large number of images that I am very happy with.

I will be arranging a one to one shoot with Elle once We can arrange a mutually agreeable date.

Welshot Photographic Training & Events

Welshot had the privilege and honour to shoot with Elle on one of our "Getting To Know You" Photo-Shoots in Chester and it REALLY was a privilege and an honour!

Professional, courteous, helpful, reliable and fun. This made Elle the perfect model to work with and we have already booked her in for 4 full days of shooting in North Wales. But... first we have Elle modelling at our "Denim & Diamonds" event in an old cotton mill near Rochdale first and we just know our delegates are going to love her as much as we do.

One thing I would like to say about Elle - is that her communications are 10 out of 10 - It is a pleasure to work with someone so professional an conscientious.

Clothing and styling as spot on - exactly what we asked for.

Not much else to say apart from THANK YOU ELLE. See you in May ;)

Last month I booked in for another one of Chris Conway's remote shoot a set sessions, this time with Elle Baldwinson modelling and a gel'd fashion theme. I had previously shot with Elle back in 2020 when she did a studio day at Splashpoint Studio and was grateful to have the opportunity to shoot with her again, albeit remotely. She wore a great outfit for the shoot and it was perfectly complemented by Chris' gel lighting setup. Her posing was excellent and she didn't require any direction. She was also extremely understanding of some somewhat difficult circumstances at my end of the shoot as I ended up doing the shoot from the waiting room of an A&E and was unsure if I would be able to make it work at all but fortunately it all ran smoothly in spite of this. It was a delight to work with her again and we produced some images I am very happy with. Definitely recommended!

All I can say is wow!! Elle has been to Hampson Street studio a couple of times but this time I got to work with her for the first time ever. She is just a natural when it comes to posing and the outfits she brought with her was just fantastic. Tbh if I had to shoot her for a few hours I don't think I would have a memory card big enough as I'm sure I could get endless images. Not only is she a fantastic model but her personality just shines and is never a dull moment of conversation. I really hope it's not too long before I get to work with her again. If you haven't already don't leave it too long booking her.

Hampson St Studio

Even though Elle has only now been to the studio a couple of times it's always a pleasure to have her along. Communication before the shoot was just fantastic, no back and forth endless messages, just straight to arranging the booking. When she arrived at the studio she came through the door smiling rolling her case along and ready to go. Once in the studio and shooting she was just a natural and all the photographers who attended loved her. The images I've seen so far come from the shoot are nothing but fantastic and looking forward to seeing more. Elle is always welcome to the studio and I'm sure it won't be long before she's back and I promise to have some hot chocolate next time. Thank you for coming along.

My first shoot with Elle tonight at Hampson St after a couple of missed opportunities.

What can I say, what a beautiful model, poses without any direction from the photographer and no two poses the same. She is also super friendly and has no airs and graces

Can highly recommend shooting with Elle, she is the model you need on your portfolio. If money is a concern for you then save it for a shoot with Elle.

Look forward to many more shoots with her

This was my first shoot with Elle and it was just fantastic!

Elle was amazing to get on with and we just chatted away while shooting making the whole experience even more enjoyable with the only downside being that the 2 hours went by very quick!

Would 100% recommend and will be looking forward to working with Elle again in the future.

First time shooting with Elle and hopefully not the last.

Fabulous to work with, Elle had been highly recommended and I can see why.

Had some great outfits prepared to shoot, knows how to style herself and pose accordingly.

Professional, friendly and awesome - highly recommended.

Green Vision Photography

It's been awhile since our last shoot and I can honestly say ,it's great to see Elle has grown professionally in her modeling career.

Pre communications were fantastic and agreed on the theme beforehand.

Elle was prompt on arrival and I felt and ease through out the shoot.

It was a pleasure to shoot with Elle and I would highly recommend her to any level of photographer.

Thank you

Steve Gormley

I can't believe it's been almost a year since I first shot Elle who was the first model I shot. I just had to improve the shots I had of her as I just didn't do her justice, I hope I've improved and yes I'm a little happier.

Elle is such a beautiful model and more importantly such a beautiful person. Our comms prior to the shoot were good and Elle as expected came very well prepared for our second shoot together. She came along with the outfits I had requested or as close to these as she had and many more besides. Her hair and make up were as I remembered and applied and prepared to a high standard.

Elle's posing is sublime and she needs absolutely no direction, but when something springs to mind she adapts quickly and responds to any direction well, quickly and very professionally. She has great ideas which she's happy to share during the shoot making the shoot a truly enjoyable collaboration. She works hard during the shoot and changes outfits quickly.

I'm determined that it won't be another year before we shoot again. I'd recommend working with Elle, you will leave the shoot with many images of a superb model. I have no hesitation in recommending Elle to new and experienced photographers, she is a joy to work with a true professional and a credit to the industry.

Very highly recommended. Thank you Elle for a most enjoyable and productive 2nd shoot.

Pre-shoot communication was spot on. As always Elle arrived ready to shoot with a selection of clothing that we had discussed beforehand. The shoot flowed perfectly and 3 hours flew by.

Elle is a lovely person to work with, it's great to work collaboratively with a model who is able to work to your ideas and offer up her own.

This was our 4th shoot together, 4 hours at Saracen House Studio, this time we shot with the amazing Lucia Needham and what can I say??? Elle was stunning and sublime as always. Pre-shoot coms were good and Elle arrived on time and really well prepared for the shoot.

Elle is always such a joy to shoot with, kind, fun and caring always. She works incredibly hard to pose beautifully, elegantly and precisely. She has a great range of beautiful poses and works without direction well but is happy to and encourages direction and input from the photographer. She worked so well with Lucia, they just gelled together so well, comfortable with each other with lots a laughs and fun during the shoot.

I am absolutely thrilled with so many beautiful shots of Elle both solo and duo with Lucia and sincerely hope we can do it again. I have no problem highly recommending Elle to any photographer - professional, amateur or hobbyist.

Thank you so much Elle for another amazing shoot :-)

This occasion was a red and white posh frocks group shoot. Preshoot comms with Elle were good, albeit less detailed than we have normally had as this was a group shoot.

As always on the day Elle was fantastic to work with, willing and very able to bring ideas to life. She has a lovely nature and a warm personality.

I have always enjoyed shooting with Elle and she just gets better and better.

Thammondphotography

Shoots with Elle are sooo much fun. The day is filled with laughter, smiles and such a great vibe.

Elle is great at posing without my input, brings a tonne of suggestions to a shoot and has such valuable input.

Elle is one of the few models that when we shoot together, I know we're going to get great shoots no matter what, or where we shoot.
