I had a wonderful first meeting with Geraldine at a Group shoot in Cleckheaton organised by SilkPhoto based on Contemporary Dance. She is very Professional, hard working, full of energy, has a very pleasant nature and gave helpful input to each one of us.

What a wonderful model very friendly, pleasant, hard working young lady she is and I would love to work again if I possibly could.

Well finally got to shoot with this amazing dancer/model. It was a blast we had so much fun, Geraldine is an absolute pro, hard working and brave a very gifted dancer. Geraldine braved the cold and the stares from onlookers and took it all in her stride, I can't wait to work with her again HIGHLY RECOMMENDED.

I had the fabulous pleasure of working with Geraldine and partner Blair at York Photo Studio as part of an evening group shoot and the whole of the following day. Geraldine just works so hard to create great dance inspired poses and shapes, its very hard not to get many brilliant images. The following day we shot some lifestyle looks on a phot walk around York then back to the studio to shoot some glam rock inspired portraits and duo poses....awesome and truly great fun :-) Thanks very much Geraldine, what a blast, until the next time, best wishes, Ian

What do you get when you put a super talented lil' lady and a short stubby photographer in a studio.... Bloody brilliant results.

Having waited for what seemed like forever, I finally got Geraldine (and partner) into the studio. Much planning had preceded this and nothing was going to go wrong. Well, sod's law dictates that it did. Geraldine had a fall a couple of days previous to the shoot practising some of the moves we'd planned. You have to accept that these things happen and are a hazard to the job. Most would be mortified, but she powered through as best she could until I called it a day (there's only so much wincing you can watch a dancer go through before having to employ a care of duty). Did that affect the resulting shots. NOPE.

Geraldine was determined to finish the shoot as best she could and the images were as spot on as one could have expected. Comms etc are always perfect and she's now on my preferred dancer list for shoots that require her skills and "bendiness" (when not injured, haha).

If you're shooting dancers and haven't shot the lil' gem that is "Princess G", then you should make plans to do so.

Apologies for the late reference, I clearly failed to adult properly :)

Until next time, stay bendy :)

What a cracking model/dancer to work with . I got a great selection of images from our photoshoot . Geraldine is a model that would add a spark to any photographers portfolio. Already looking a second booking now . Big thanks from me :)

Shared a shoot with another photographer and Geraldine.

The theme was dance but we also did some experimenting with other styles including some reflection shots.

Geraldine was amazing as usual and worked hard to ensure we achieved some great images.

I'm loving the dance pose shots and both myself and the other photographer got some great images thanks to Geraldine's hard work - a very talented model and dancer.

Looking forward to our next shoot later in the year.

Had a great time, as part of a group at York Photo Studio, shooting Geraldine.

What a blast!

Energetic, exuberance, bucket loads of enthusiasm and the ability to get into poses you'd never have thought of!

A wonderful person to have a shoot with and someone I'd love to shoot again.

Terrific.

Wholeheartedly recommended.

first time working with Geraldine, and also my first time shooting a model dancing.

The shoot had to be changed at last minute due to my needing an emergency appointment but Geraldine took this in her stride! We rearranged the shoot for a couple of hours later and we did a few different styles.

I really want to work with her again as I have some great ideas to shoot that we didn't have time to complete this time round!

It was a privilege and pleasure to meet and shoot Geraldine yesterday. A naturally beautiful Madam who’s not just a model but an exceptionally talented and awesome performer. Her abundance of energy and total commitment was evident as she worked tirelessly to ensure we nailed the deceive moment for the shot – a far cry from just ‘modelling’.

With such talent yet humble, super friendly and bubbly indeed this has to been one of my favourite and most memorable shoots - capturing the Geraldine trademark. I rarely give out top marks - as there is always room for improvement but it’s a 10/10 for Geraldine – enough said!

Arranged a group shoot at my studio with a dance theme so knew Geraldine was the girl for the job.

Despite having a nightmare with cancelled trains and incompetent staff, Geraldine persevered and made it to the studio. She worked extra hard to make sure the day was a success and everyone thoroughly enjoyed the day.

Have already booked Geraldine in for another shoot and can't wait to work with her again.

Had my first shoot with Geraldine this weekend. Really happy with the results. Geraldine is very hard-working, professional, bubbly and easy to work with. Will definitely look to work with her again. Good luck with your new venture Geraldine.

Had my first shoot with Geraldine today at my studio in Brighouse. What a delightful young lady Geraldine is. This turned out to be one of the most enjoyable shoots I've done in a long while and the images look amazing. Geraldine couldn't have done more to ensure we got the shots we were after - it really felt like a joint effort and the results clearly show the effort that she put into each and every shot. The shapes and positions she was able to pull off meant we really did get some unique images.

Would thoroughly recommend and I'm already looking forward to a future shoot.

It was a real pleasure to shoot ballet with Geraldine. Confident in everything from physically demanding balance poses to expressive close-ups, she's easy to work with and incredibly hard working. Would definitely recommend :)

I worked with Geraldine on a "Black Swan" ballet themed photo shoot through Exposure Events. She is very bubbly and down to earth, and got on really well with the group. Geraldine took direction very well and was happy doing various ballet poses. Looking forward to making a start on editing the photo's from the group shoot.

Would definitely work with Geraldine again :)

I met Geraldine through Exposure Events which is run with York Photo Studio. Geraldine stepped in as a last minute replacement for the model which we had had booked for several months. She is very bubbly and got on with everyone really well. She took direction well as well as being happy doing her own poses. All in all she was great and everyone had a great shoot. Thanks.

I shot with Geraldine this morning in Leeds City Centre. We met early and she was prompt, friendly and bubbly from word go. She has amazing flexibility and body control and is also a very beautiful model with lovely poise and elegance. She was up for most of the things I suggested even when I wasn't sure what I was asking was within her dancing ability and she pulled it all off with aplomb. It was also perishing cold but she was positive, helpful and bubbly all the way through - a joy to shoot with. I didn't get as long with her as I would have liked and would very definitely like to shoot with her again - one of those models with so much potential. Thanks for a great shoot!

Had a fantastic early morning shoot today in Leeds City Centre. Geraldine is an amazing athlete, dancer and model - and nothing is too much trouble for her. It was 4 degrees this morning, but not once did she complain about the cold - just took it all in her stride. She is one of the most flexible and elegant dancer / models that I have worked with - stunning poses and I can only hope that I can do her skills justice with my images.

Thank you Geraldine - a massive pleasure to work with you, and I would certainly like to work with you again - very soon - perhaps a little trip over to York and the warmth of a studio for a change :)

I worked with Geraldine in Leeds city centre on what can only be described as a very cold and very early Sunday morning, She was absolutely brilliant, despite the conditions, Geraldine was terrific to work with. Bags of energy, fun, laid back, and very flexible, bringing exactly the dance inspiration to the shots and poses I was looking for. Nothing was too much trouble, no idea too crazy :-) "can I just try this or that again" was met with "yeah sure", what a blast :-) loved meeting and working with you Geraldine and hope to do so again. Very happy to recommend her :-) . Thanks Geraldine and best wishes, Ian
