Just had a great shoot with Erica at her studio day at Rawpics in Somerset.

Erica is a brilliant dancer and model who is very talented and creative. Her dance poses are incredible and she has a range of outfits and accessories which perfectly complement every shot.

A genuine delight to work with, Erica came up with plenty of ideas for the shoot and the 3 hours absolutely flew by.

Definitely very highly recommended and I certainly hope to work with her again soon.

Carol and I had a fabulous 2 hours working with Erica at Rawpics. Erica is a fantastic professional dancer and model, and she has some lovely costumes and accessories. We worked on several ideas, and the images kept on coming.

Erica is highly recommended, and we plan to work with her once again next year.

This was my twelfth shoot with Erica, and my first 121. She was ready when I arrived and had brought the clothing I asked for.

The time flew by with lots of laughs and chats, and both contributed ideas to the shoot, which is great.

I am so happy to have had the chance of a 121 as it is so much better to than being limited to 5 minute slots, as happens on well managed group shoots.

As always Erica is very professional and makes every effort to get the shots which the photographer wants.

The time flew by and was very productive.

I am always happy to recommend Erica as she is a great joy to work with.

Thank you very much Erica for a fun two hours, which seemed more like two minutes.

This was the first time I have worked with Erica and I have to say she is one of the best models I have shot with. Erica is so easy to work with, full of energy and enthusiasm. She listens to direction as well as free posing, adding ideas when needed. The costumes and makeup were perfect ! Erica is chatty and fun but always focused on giving the photographer the best results. As her portfolio demonstrates. Highly recommended. Hope to shoot again soon. Many thanks Rob

I had a super shoot with Erica today, 4 glorious hours of top notch posing and dancing, we explored many costumes and props and created lots of really special images. Erica worked tirelessly and never disappointed. If you get a chance to work with Erica 1-1, just do it, it is a treat.

Erica was an absolute pleasure to work with. Her dedication and willingness to experiment helped us both to create some truly memorable images and I would not hesitate to recommend her to anybody thinking of working with her. Her attention to detail in everything from hair and makeup to costume detailing was utterly professional and she has a fantastic positive attitude and large vocabulary of dance and modelling poses that she delivers with grace, fluidity and flair.

I had the pleasure of working with Erica on a group shoot at Trident Studio in Plymouth.

It was a great shoot. Erica works hard, is very friendly, and has great poses. We got a wide range of pictures including many that I've never taken before.

The time flew by. Highly Recommended :-)

I had a 1-2-1 and a portfolio builder with Erica on Friday and had a blast. She was already at the studio (Trident studio Plymouth) ready to go. She was made up and eager to get going. Very lovely friendly and talented lady.

We managed to get through all the ideas I had and she helped me with the posing no end.

The 3 hr portfolio builder ran soon after our 1-2-1 but her energy levels didn’t fade. Would definitely recommend if you haven’t already shot with her.

I have admired Erica’s portfolio for a while, so when an opportunity to work with her at Trident studio arose, I grabbed it with both hands… and I have to say it was an absolute pleasure!

Not only is Erica a very talented, professional dancer and model, she is an intelligent, friendly and warm person. Very easy to get along with and a delight to work with. She is extremely hard working and really works with the photographer to ‘get the shot’…

It goes without saying that Erica is highly recommended by me, and I hope to get the chance to work with her again.

Thank you Erica. 💃🏻

As always an amazing shoot with Erica. She's a terrific inspiration on a shoot and has so many fabulous costumes to choose from. 'Discovering' Erica during the pandemic years really got my photography going again!! He thanks Erica x :-)

Had a very short shoot as Tank Space with Erica which as expected was well organised. Erica as always had the needs of the photographers at the forefront of her mind. The session fulfilled my requirements and I am grateful to Erica for creating the opportunity. I look forward to our next shoot soon.

ANOTHER ... 5 star rating for Erica. This time, today, at TankSpace in Newark. And once again I have ended up with a truly astonishing number of fantastic photos to work on. Meticulously planned, excellent communication, GREAT attitude .. Erica really is at the top of her game and I would recommend her to anyone.

Erica is always one of my go to models when I’m arranging the lineup for an event

Not only is she hugely talented, she is also a real people person, all the photographers just adore her

She works exceptionally hard to get the shot and delight all the photographers. A real asset to any team!

I’m sorry if anyone is bored of Erica (I doubt it) but I am not and will continue to book her on my events until I stop doing them 😆

Although I have worked with Erica plenty of times and know her really well, a few days ago I have finally had an opportunity to work on her own event "Swan Lake" for the first time.

The event took place at PGD Studio and Erica made sure everything was arranged for me so I can be prepared for the day, eg. the styling, traveling, night stays, lunches, loads of laughs (because we are both completely bonkers) and plenty of emotional support.

The event itself was so well-arranged, she had timesheets printed out so that the photographers could refer to them if they needed to. The briefing before the event was very clear and she has also instructed Gary what lighting setups she wanted to do so everything was prepared in advance.

So lucky I got an opportunity to work for and alongside Erica, thank you so much for having me!

Highly recommend her own events to both models and attending photographers.

I attended a Swan Lake themed event organised by Erica at PGD Studio, with Erica and Xenia modelling the White Swan / Black Swan.

I had responded to an Instagram post that Erica had sent out back in April of this year and I was so disappointed that it was sold out. Then I got a message a few weeks later to say that there was an extra session and I snapped up a place.

I have been eagerly counting down the weeks since then until today and I wasn’t disappointed.

The whole event from start to finish was amazing, comms before the event, directions to the location, shoot plans, and the event itself.

My wife had set a goal for me to come home to N Ireland with a selection of images from the day that she wanted to pick one to have printed and framed for hanging in our home, I will have plenty for her to pick from.

Erica’s planning, costumes, props, shoot organization and of course her modelling for the event were 1st class. This is my 2nd event with Erica that I’ve travelled over from N Ireland for and based on the first 2, it won’t be the last.

I have so many beautiful images to review and edit and look forward to downloading to the computer.

Thank you Erica for a fantastic day!!

On Sunday I attended an event organised by Erica, this time inspired partially by Swan Lake. I have shot Erica previously as both Odette and Odile but this time she was only Odets as Odile was played f(extraordinarily well) by Xenia which meant for our Shoot Number Umpteen I was able to duo Odette and Odile.

You know what you are going to get with Erica which is simply beautifully styled, well organised events with a model who you would need to work very hard to take a poor image of. This was probably the shoot with Erica that I have enjoyed the most and I am looking forward to our next in a matter od weeks. We have started talking about a possible concept shoot and you may see more posted on here in due course.

My second shoot with Erica, this time at her Black Swan inspired event with Xenia at PGD studios. The whole event was perfectly organised and Erica ensured that we ran to time while posing beautifully. I wholeheartedly recommend Erica both as a model and a shoot organiser and hope to work with her again soon.

This was a Swan Lake themed organised shoot by Erica.

Very professionally organised shoot.

Superb comms.

World class ballet dancer.

I've tried for a few years to find a good ballet model and they are rare to find that can dance and organise photography based shoots.

Erica is a gem and wonderful to work with, full of ideas nothing was too much trouble.

I'm still going through my images a week on, so many good images.

If you want a ballet dancer look no further!

I'm looking forward to working with this amazing lady again.

Thankyou Erica it was a pleasure to work with you.
