First time with Florence but I've already booked her for next month which should tell you everything you need to know.

Apart from being a gorgeous young woman, Florence has a spectacular wardrobe and is a joy to work with. Did everything asked of her with cheerful, professional enthusiasm. Loved her.

Finally managed to arrange a shoot with Florence. 4 years on from my previous shoot with her. We both have busy schedules so it was great to finally have some mutual free time.

I had to cancel our previous arranged shoot at short notice buy Florence understood and was more than happy to accept another date a week later.

She has some great styles which helps with my lack of imagination. She easily posed for the video shoot that we did and I am already planning our next shoot...whenever we can next arrange it.

Had an awesome first shoot with Florence at a shoot day at the Dingles Fairground Museum. Florence is very professional in pre-comms and person, has great styling ideas and is enthusiastic, friendly and a joy to work with, 100% Recommendation!

Another shoot with Florence after far too long a break.

This time we managed, at short notice, to arrange a vintage fashion shoot around a steam railway. Florence brought a selection of appropriate outfits, and despite the vagaries of sun and "aspirational" timetables we shot several very effective sets.

Throughout, Florence was her usual happy, friendly and professional self, posing effortlessly with little need for direction. I've only just looked briefly through the images, but there are definitely some crackers.

Thank you Florence - definitely and thoroughly recommended!

Florence is a very accomplished model who will always try to give a photographer what he or she wants. She arrived with masses of clothing and was very happy to try everything I asked. Thank you Florence. Recommended.

Great shoot with a lovely , talented model Flo has an enormous collection of vintage fashion with some great looks. Pre comms great, arrived early and worked with a HMA to achieve the 1950’s look I was looking for. Worked hard and stayed for an extra hour , given her extensive wardrobe. Wanted to shoot all day & night. Lovely communicator , interesting and poses freely and follows direction. Heavily recommended and look forward to shooting again on the future

I was pleased to meet Florence for the first time yesterday for a shoot in Frome, and particularly impressed with her steadfastness in battling trains to get there. She did very well to arrive only 40 minutes later than the scheduled time. In the end it didn't matter because we had plenty of time to shoot. Her suitcase was like a portable tardis, and although we had agreed a lot of outfits I really wasn't sure whether this was going to be possible. It was! Out came innumerable 50s dresses and other outfits from Florence's huge collection, plus a few things for burlesque.

As a result I was able to take about a dozen shots in many of these items, and it will add a new dimension to my portfolio when I have have done some edits.

Florence was a charming and interesting young lady, and I enjoyed the whole experience. Now to editing, but her hair and skin are excellent so not much to do on that front. Thanks, Florence.

This shoot marked my second anniversary of photographing models, and I cannot think of a better model to have shared / achieved this milestone with!

Precomms were excellent and Florence gave me the opportunity to choose outfits from her extensive wardrobe. She arrived on time and ready to go, as the shoot was in her home town of Tiverton I followed her lead for locations. This was a wise decision, because we shot at several different spots around the town and captured some stunning images.

As a model Florence is a joy to work with, she poses beautifully and naturally and can pretty much rock any look you need her to! She is also totally professional and works hard to make sure you get the images you want!

Florence is also a really lovely person, chatty, fun, interesting, smart, intelligent and has a great sense of humour. Working with her is a pleasure and a joy.

I have no hesitation in recommending her no matter how much experience you have! I would work with her again in a heartbeat and hope to get the opportunity to do so.

Thank you for a fabulous shoot Florence, I wish you all the best for the future and hope to work with you again when you are back in sunny Devon. 😊

I had the absolute joy of working with Florence yesterday in my studio. Pre-shoot communications were thorough, helpful and timely.

I had sent her a reasonably detailed brief for the shoot including a mood board showing examples of my various aspirations and she came very well prepared to meet the brief! Florence's make up was nicely done (in advance) and appropriate and her suitcase contained a great array of exquisite vintage and quality costumes to suit the occasion.

Florence is a lovely, friendly person to work with who takes direction well and is full of helpful ideas. She displayed a good understanding of photography & lighting too, which is always useful in a model. The shoot was great fun, time went incredibly quickly and the proposed two hour session inevitably turned into three!

I'm still working on the results but initial impressions from some hasty first edits are absolutely excellent.

Certainly look forward to another shoot with Florence in the future.

Had a wonderful morning shooting with Florence, an absolute joy to work with. She had so many great outfits and even more ideas for poses. I highly recommend her and can’t wait to work with her again

For Florence's visit to Leicester I organised 2 group shoots and a 121 session with her.

Unfailingly well organised, friendly and a delight to work with, Florence delivered brilliantly throughout.

With a suitcase full of vintage outfits there was something for everyone and Florence's professionalism and charm made the whole of our time together extremely rewarding.

Definitely recommended!

Florence is an absolute pleasure to work with. She brought a lovely selection of vintage costumes to the the studio. Extremely professional.

I was delighted when my application for a shoot on Florence's tour to Birmingham was accepted We had extensive communication before the shoot deciding on the studio and what clothing Florence should bring. She has a very extensive wardrobe and choosing a small fraction of the 200 or so items in her dropbox was difficult. She showed up at the studio on time and brought all of the items I had asked for, as well as other clothing and some which she had bought that morning, and which she was happy to shoot in. It was a very enjoyable shoot as we got on well and I am very happy with the images I ended up with. I will be very disappointed if we do not manage to arrange another shoot together in the near future. She is a model I will be very happy to book many more times. Thanks very much Florence, I cannot recommend you too highly.

Florence put up a casting for a midlands tour, so I asked if she would come over to Telford for a shoot. She agreed and and we arranged a 50s style shoot in my home studio.

Florence arrived on time by train and we had an fairly intensive few hours shooting a variety of outfits ranging from dresses to corsets to swimwear.

Florence was a joy to work with, had a good range of outfits to choose from and embraced ideas enthusiastically.

We achieved some fantastic images. I would definitely work with Florence again if she tours this way in the future.

Absolutely recommended.

I attended an excellent workshop at F/8 Studios where Florence was the workshop model.(1950's Themed Portraits). The day was was first class, especially due to Florence and her ability to work with Paul, the studio owner, in such a collaborative manner.

Florence was a tremendous model. Her range of outfits, her make-up, and her patience to explore set-ups and poses allowed us to create some very strong images.

Throughout the workshop she remained happy and worked tirelessly despite starting her day very early and having a few challenges with the transport. She made costume, styling and pose suggestions that really captured the planned theme. Her training in theatrical arts greatly supports her creative ability and her adoption of "characters". Her sense of fun also shone through and her sense of humour provided an added a number of workshop memorable situations. It certainly meant that the workshop was a fun afternoon.

I very much hope I have the opportunity to work with Florence again and would very much recommend her to any photographer, especially of her favourite styles and genres.

Thank you Florence!

This was my third shoot with Florence. She has recently returned to the West Country and I was delighted to have the opportunity to shoot with her again. In the event our shoot was arranged at the very last minute when some studio time unexpectedly became available for the following day. However, notwithstanding the shortness of time, the shoot arrangements were quickly agreed and, following some further efficient messaging from Florence, we had selected a provisional wardrobe from her very extensive collection.

The shoot itself was, as expected, very enjoyable. Florence was her usual bubbly self and worked enthusiastically, posing beautifully both with and without direction, to achieve some lovely images. Shooting tethered enabled Florence to refine her poses as we went along. The shoot produced plenty of 'keepers' and I am looking forward to the edit.

Florence is one of my favourite models and is highly recommended.

I had the good fortune to arrange a shoot with Florence after a frustrating few years when I have hardly been able to shoot at all.

I could not have chosen a better model to work with! Florence's existing references are all excellent and with good reason. From our initial contact about the shoot right through to her kind and generous reference that followed, I could not have asked for more.

Very organised, excellent communicator, knowledgeable, patient, easy going, friendly and to top it all....an excellent model! She brings so much to a shoot. Her outfits, knowledge of the genre I wanted to shoot and posing were all spot on and it was easy to get the shots I wanted. Her wider artistic talents also mean she can bring a higher level of creativity to any shoot.

I would absolutely recommend Florence and really hope to work with her again soon.

Was so fantastic to get correspondence from Florence again after our shoot a few years ago! Plus so deeply flattered that Florence wanted her first Boudoir/lingerie shoot with myself. Florence is a beautiful model and a beautiful person...Her attitude to everything she does in all her creative work just shines through. From our pre comms to the shoot day it was just superb. We attempted to get through as many of the lingerie sets she brought along as possible managing to get stunning shots!

An absolute joy as the time passed so quickly!

Thanks so much Florence and hoping my edits do our shoot justice !

Highly recommended for any level of photographer 😁

See you soon!

I've had the pleasure of shooting with Flo for a number of years now. I couldn't recommend her more. Excellent communication prior to every shoot.Flo is very natural in front of camera, her other creative skill of acting also really comes across. Looking forward to our next shoot!
