Had a superb shoot with Erica at Silkwood Studios. Planned for some time as she is very busy and this was the only date we could.

Planned before shoot for outfits and style of shoot.

Shoot went smoothly and rushed and I got the shots I wanted!

Thanks Erica the hard work you put in.

Highly Recommended

My third chance to shoot with Erica this time at Norwood House in Nottingham.

Erica is a brilliant professional, she is graceful and powerful and an amazing dancer. Her poise and movement are amazing to watch.

This time she treated us to a glimpse of the lady behind the ballet slippers; when asked to move forward she did a funny shuffling walk, giggled, and confessed to being a huge dork sometimes. It was a lovely moment and melted the hearts of all present.

Thank you Erica - a pleasure to work with you again. Don't ever change!

Highly recommended.

It was a delight to work with Erica again, this time at a Tabitha Boydell event. Erica was teamed up with Daniel and provide a splendid set of dance movements and interaction between the pair of them. Erica choreographed set pieces to demonstrate the poses that we were aiming to capture. She is enthusiastic and can deliver beautiful moves, poses and expressions which all go to create some beautiful pictures. There is so much more I would like to explore with Erica and look forward to working with here in the futures.

I recommend Erica most highly

Thank you for some amazing pictures

Erica has always been great to work with, a great dancer whether that be ballet or contemporary.

She was with Daniel for a duo shoot and hopefully my experimental angles that I wanted to try with this do actually work!

It is very easy to recommend Erica (Daniel isn't here on PP) as a dancer to work with.

Another fabulous event with Erica!

Erica was modelling - and choreographing - on a big location event run by Tabitha Boydell. Her sheer skill, professionalism and experience of working with photographers were a key part of making the whole event run smoothly.

Recommended, again.

I have had several shoots with Erica now, and they are all a delight. She is a very accomplished model, happy to pose with direction and also independently. This was a group shoot at Woodchester Mansion where Erica did a duo with Daniel Longhurst. The more I shoot with Erica the more I enjoy it, and I think that Erica is now getting used to my sense of humour. I am looking forward to my next shoot with her in December, and a couple in the second half of next year, but I may be lucky to see her on other occasions. I can unhesitatingly recommend Erica.

Erica modelled for our Renaissance event yesterday and was perfection all round.

She has poise, grace, imaginative posing, great styling and is punctual and professional but also just a really fun model to be around, keeping the mood excellent all day.

We would happily have Erica back anytime, as she was an asset to the day and really made the vision come alive!

Petite, fit, full of energy, Erica is a wonderful dancer, creating beautiful, graceful shapes. She has a great repertoire of moves and can take ideas or concepts and improve upon them, aiming to deliver superb images. An enthusiast who understands both sides of the camera, having studied photography, including studio lighting and classical ballet. She's a delight to work with, chatty, funny, and charming, making it a thoroughly enjoyable session. An extraordinary combination of talents, I can recommend her totally.

I have shot with Erica several times before for balletic themed images but on this occasion it was for her "mermaid" skills! This was at the TankSpace along with Halo as her co-model.

This was certainly a different style of shoot for me and one that I haven't done before, and I have come away with some great images (it took a little while to get into the practical side of doing this type of shoot).

Erica delivers as she always does and she is great as a model, I would always recommend her. Making a career in dance is not easy, but Erica has made it happen for herself with this as yet another string to her bow! Well done!

I had the absolute pleasure of a 3 hour shoot with Erica at the Cottage Studio on Sunday afternoon. Erica’s pre shoot commas were first class responding to messages I had sent very quickly. On walking in to the Studio I was greeted with a very warm welcome and the nerves of shooting with such a consummate professional were immediately eased.

In our three hours we were able to shoot a variety of sets including dance movement. Erica was very patient repeating movements over and over to ensure we got the shot. Erica is easy to get on with, friendly, east to chat to and an all round lovely person.

Her portfolio here speaks volumes for her skill and professionalism. She transitions from pose to pose fluidly with grace, beauty and elegance. I feel honoured to have been able to shoot with Erica and hope to do so again. 100% recommended.

Had a shoot with Erica yesterday at Cottage Studio (Studio39). She is a combination of intelligence, beauty and grace - and a sense of humour.

Had a great shoot with Erica when she was down at studio Photo39 a couple of months ago. Sorry for the delay in posting this Erica. She is a consummate professional. We managed to get through a number of sets and outfits and the time went all too quickly. The images are fantastic and I hope to work with Erica again when she ventures south again.

Recommended to all photographers

Worked with Erica today at her studio day at JB Studios

Erica is first and foremost a lovely person to work and chat with which made for a relaxed and enjoyable shoot.

She is very organised, poses fluidly,interpreted and developed my ideas with ease and needed very little direction. A consummate professional dancer/model with a clear understanding of lighting who contributed 110% to the shoot

She was also very patient as I tried to capture a specific multiple exposure image I want for which I am grateful

You will not be disappointed if you shoot with Erica. It goes without saying that she is recommended by me

Had the opportunity to work with Erica at JB Studios in Benfleet yesterday and had a great couple of hours with her and we have great images that I am just starting to go through today. The time flew past.

Erica was an absolute delight to work with and worked hard with very little direction from me - and is obviously a talented dancer - and able to get to and hold poses as long as needed and was patient with my request for many similar, longer exposures towards the end of the session. Full of energy all the time.

We had several costume changes each building on from and different from the previous.

I'd love to work with Erica again in the future and would recommend her without hesitation. Something very different for your portfolio and was a fun session.

Erica has been on my bucket list of people I wanted to work with for some time, so when I saw that she was coming down south and to a studio I know, it was a no brainer to reply to her casting and sort out a shoot.

The shoot went brilliantly; Erica is great to work with, friendly and easy going, but most of all very professional and very confident in front of the camera.

We got through a number of different lighting and outfit set ups and I for one am happy with the results. I hope to work with Erica again in the future - needless to say I highly recomend her to all.

I wanted one of my focus points for this year to be on dance, so when I found out that Erica was coming to London I jumped at the chance to set up a session in the studio I use most.

Pre-shoot comms were great and Erica turned up punctually with everything I'd asked for. We worked through a number of sets during the session and Erica was great at understanding what I wanted and making it work, contributing her own ideas and thoughts as well as going with mine. The time absolutely flew by and I was very happy with what I'd got by the end of it.

A thoroughly enjoyable shoot with a friendly, personable young lady and I really hope I get the chance to work with her again. Highly recommended.

Nick Halling

I had been wanting to shoot with Erica for quite a while and when an opportunity came during her London tour I booked her as soon as I could.

We had a half day shoot at JB Studios and all I can say is her professionalism really shone through right from the start to finish.

Erica is very easy to work with, friendly and chatty and the quality of her posing was exceptional.

Totally recommended by me and cant wait till I am able to shoot with Erica again.

Firs time with Erica. She turned up on time and was every inch of what i thought a ballerina should be . She brought a range of outfits and really all i had to do was deal with the technical aspects as Eica sailed through her poses all of which i was delighted with.

Ruthl3ns

Erica is an absolute delight to shoot with. This was a really last minute shoot and we had to put together everything quickly. Erica is extremely organised with her outfits and prompt to respond which made it so easy for us to plan things out.

Every pose beautifully excuted.

The bonus a great sense of humour. We got on so well which made the day so much more fun.

I can’t wait to work with Erica again. Highly recommend working with Erica!

Redhammer

Erica Turned up on time and was friendly and approachable from the start. We discussed her ideas as well as what she had planned for other shoots in the area before heading off to the shooting areas. She was prepared with several outfits and was already made up on arrival

Erica in a competent established ballerina and was able to pose with almost no direction giving shape to her body and moving fluidly.

She was game to try anything to get the right shots and we both had a fun time.

Would strongly recommend Erica to anyone
