I had my first shoot with Ellie and her friends today ! I was brave lol! Ellie really reassured me and I felt really safe with the snakes

Ellie was really patient cos I was scared and kept freaking out but she really took it in her stride and supported me and we got amazing results!

Ellie's snakes are really nice and they really aren't that scary

If you can handle it.. I highly recommend Ellie and her beautiful reptiles

This was the latest of many, many shoots with Ellie and her babies. The welfare of the snakes, reptiles, etc always comes first and Ellie is an expert at handling them, either modelling herself or assisting/instructing to ensure you get the best shots possible. Thoroughly recommended.

First shoot with Ellie and her babies :-) From the start it was clear that Ellie was very passionate and knowledgeable about her animals. She also has a passion to create wonderful images.

Ellie a very friendly, welcoming and genuinely nice person, very creative and a real pleasure to work with.

I would say to any photographers, if you get the chance to work with Ellie and her creatures jump at it...you won't regret it and you will get some great images :-)

I can't recommend Ellie highly enough and we're already planning the next shoot (Y)

I have had the pleasure of working with Ellie and the reptiles on numerous occasions over these last months always creating something different every time. Its always very relaxed when we shoot and just sort of create as we go.

Ellie is so knowledgeable about all of the animals and has a real passion for what she does, so much so that we have seen people being quite tentative when they arrive and yet by the time they leave are handling the snakes and hoping to come back again.

As a stylist Ellie creates fabulous pieces of headwear and has a wardrobe of amazing clothing create very different styles of shoots, I just love this aspect as it does make for amazing images.

If you get the opportunity to work with her it will be amazing, plans are afoot for the next shoot and in the mean time she is of course highly recommended.

Thanks Ellie :D

Ellie came with her beautiful snakes for a shoot with us last Sunday and we had wonderful time shooting some (a bit crazy perhaps) images. Ellie is a wonderful creative and her little beasts are all fantastic characters. Very strongly recommended and looking forward to work with her again...

Ellie is the most beautiful, friendly and charismatic person, and her snakes definitely take after her! I've never in my life been in close contact with a snake, and I had no concerns at all during the shoot as Ellie is very reassuring and the reptiles were very calm and behaved perfectly. They even posed very well too! Very excited for our next shoot, I would definitely recommend everyone to work with Ellie and her beautiful creatures :)

Had a shoot with Ellie alongside her photographer/MUA sister Leia in Newport. The snakes Ellie brought along with her were gorgeous, friendly & calm characters (considering I've only once in my life held one). She made conversation & I felt comfortable from the get go. She styled the shoot very well, matching the makeup & clothing to the colours of the snakes as well as the attitude she wanted portrayed in the shots.

Thanks Ellie!

I have done a fair few shoots with Ellie and her reptiles and every time I have felt safe and comfortable with the animals, she is a brilliant handler. Also, her shoot ideas are always magical and it is an honor to be involved in bringing her ideas to life. She has a brilliant eye for photography and not to mention wonderful make up and hair styling skills, if you shoot with Ellie in any way you won't be disappointed with the results or the experience.

After speaking to Ruby (the model) and deciding on a theme, I messaged Ellie on the off chance she wouldn't mind letting me shoot with a couple of her snakes. I was really happy when she agreed. Ellie was so lovely and it was really interesting looking at all the reptiles she has managed to rescue. She was great on set, helping Ruby get comfortable with the snakes and doing things like moving hair out of her face, which saved on editing! Thank you and I hope we can work together again :)

Ruby Lorcan

I absolutely loved working with Ellie and her beautiful snakes. Her presence made me feel totally at ease on the shoot and she's lovely fun company too! I do hope we get to work together again soon.

Sophie Merlo

I can highly recommend Ellie and her creatures. I had the privilege of shooting the gorgeous Ellie and her equally gorgeous friend plus a couple of her snakes today. I don't know anything about snakes but felt safe with Ellie around! She was a great assistant in between takes as well as model - took direction excellently and also very easy to get on with - would love to shoot her and/or her menagerie again sometime - highly recommended. :)

I met Ellie in March when I was staying with Lance and Kas. She brought with her some snakes and tarantulas which I was a little catious of, however after 10 minutes (if that!) I had 7ft Sauron round my neck and didn't want to give him back. Ellie is so knowledgable about her reptiles and always ensures that everyone is safe and comfortable.

She also showed me some of the headdresses she has made and wow! I cannot wait to shoot with her sometime so I can wear one! Ellie is clearly very creative! I would recommend everyone to work with her and her lovely reptiles!

Dana :)
