Although I love portrait photography it’s not something I do regularly, and so I’m always a little nervous meeting new models. No need to worry with Lydia who made me feel very relaxed before we had even started the photoshoot. Elegance personified as she she posed in the fabulous Prestwold Hall. Professional throughout, easy to direct, and creative with her own ideas. A genuine nice person who I would definitely recommend.

Lydia modelled for Leicester Forest Photographic Society at our September Studio Evening. We had two models for the evening. Both arrived promptly with a good selection of outfits, were totally professional and an absolute pleasure to work with. Each modelled three outfits individually and at the end of the evening changed again and modelled together. It was an excellent evening and all the photographers got some great pictures. I would definitely book Lydia again and fully recommend her to any other photographer/studio.

Another fabulous remote session with Lydia!

She was available on very short notice, but came fully prepared with armor (we were working on a warrior project), multiple more 'normal' outfits, and her boundless energy.

Her posing is excellent and needs very little direction, she's got a great range of expression, and takes direction when needed very well, even when I'm trying to describe a strange pose that doesn't want to be converted into actual words and she can't see me. (That is one downside to remote sessions: you can't just ask the model to mirror you when they can't really see you.)

Oh, and the camera loves her. :)

Highly recommended!

I shot with Lydia for the first time last night at a fitness themed group shoot. Lydia is lovely to work with and provided endless poses in-keeping with the fitness theme, She really worked hard all night for us with a show of strength on the aerial hoops, but never stopped giving us pose after pose. Her hair is amazing too! Definitely recommended. Thank you.

My first shoot with Lydia at her studio day at the Dairy Barn Studio.

What a pleasure to be part of this event. Lydia is a lovely person, chatty and easy to get on with.

With her gorgeous red flowing hair and stunning looks Lydia is a dream to shoot. She had plenty of outfits to choose from and is also a skilled aerial hoop model. I have plenty of great images to edit!.

Thank you Lydia.

The Dairy Barn Studio

I had the huge pleasure of hosting Lydia at my studio today. All pre-shoot comms were excellent. Lydia turned up early with lots of outfits for the sold out day. The photographers attending the day worked through a mix of elegant portrait, dance, aerial hoop and warrior queen. The warrior shoot was done outside with some of the 50 horses that also live here - they ALL wanted to join in too.

Lydia is an extremely hard working and versatile model with stunning good looks and gorgeous red hair and she will be returning for another sold out day here next month and will no doubt delight another set of photographers.

Totally recommend Lydia to other photographers and studios. :)

I had the pleasure of meeting and shooting Lydia on a recent Summers Abroad weekender 'The Lost World' event.

She is an absolute pleasure to work with, open to various ideas and not afraid to pose in tight spots or sat on rusty cars! She poses with little effort, is fun to work with, entusiastic, open to direction and happy to chat. And of course she has that beautiful red hair! Although our time shooting was short, with two clothes changes I came away with some fabulous images.

I highly recommend Lydia and look forward to working with her in the future.

Thanks Lydia.

I got to shoot with Lydia at a recent Summers Abroad event in Kent. This was my first shoot with her though it is easy to know when a shoot is going to be good when your first image of the session is spot on. We got to work together twice during the day.

Lydia is a great model and really happy with the resulting images. I would be happy to work with her in the future.

Summers Abroad

We booked Lydia for our ‘Lost World’ event, she was on the unthemed day just using the location as it was so had to bring along a selection of wardrobe with her.

Lydia brought along so many fabulous outfits that suited the location brilliantly. She has a stunning look with the most amazing hair and the images I have seen from the photographers who attended are amazing :)

On top of that she is also an incredibly kind and bubbly person to be around! We really enjoyed her company and can’t wait to host her on more events in the future!

Highly recommended by us!

I recently had the pleasure of shooting Lydia on the Lost World event hosted by Summers Abroad, and what an absolute pleasure it was working with her. She is extremely professional, knows what poses work best and made my brief time with her go as smoothly as it could've been.

I hope to work with Lydia again on a shoot and I highly recommend you book her as soon as possible!

Another great shoot with GOF using flash outdoors. Lydia brought along some great outfits and as a bonus she showed off her fire sticks skills which made some really dramatic photos. She is so easy to work with and is open to trying out new ideas with bags of enthusiasm. An excellent model and a lovely lady. Highly recommend to others.

Amazing model very dynamic and classy. Lydia is able to give you exactly what you need to get the precise look you are going for. Great range of poses, takes instruction really well and is genuinely a really nice person to work with. I look forward to working with her again soon

I had another remote shoot with Aurora and Lydia in duo. As always, amazing communication, kindness and great setup. They work great together and tried my strange ideas but provided lot’s of poses during the shooting. Perfect duo, next shooting is already planned with both of them. Thanks girls!

Aurora Phoenix

Had a really good duo day with Lydia ‘Girl on Fire’ at my home studio in Cambridge. We shot both remotely and in person during this event that we held.

Prior to the event Lydia was really good at communication and responding to me regarding bookings and things. She was really good at contributing towards discussions with photographers too and shoot planning.

On the day of shooting Lydia arrived promptly and with more than enough time for us to have a good chat about outfits before the first photographer arrived. Together we planned which clothes of ours went together for the duo and this was such a good idea of Lydia’s.

During the remote shoot Lydia was super helpful and even helped me move the lighting and the tripod If needed. Although this day was out first time shooting together we just flowed so well and everything turned out so well. When the next photographer arrived he asked if me and Lydia duo all the time as we were just so in sync when it came to posing. He was really surprised when we said it was our first time shooting together. We just work together so well and could pose together amazingly. We were so in sync.

More than recommended!!

Looking forward to more duos again in the future ☺️🙌

An Eye for Beauty

I was looking forward to my first shoot with Lydia and I wasn't disappointed. Thank goodness I had 3 hours on her studio day but could easily have carried on for 4. Apart from being a stunning young lady - that amazing fiery hair and the cool white skin are just such a striking contrast. But from the moment I walked into the studio and was greeted with a smile and a cheery greeting I knew this was going to be a really rewarding and pleasurable shoot. And it was so lovely to talk about her studies and recent graduation, and her life goals.

Lydia's pre-shoot coms were excellent, and she turned up with all the things we had talked about. But we began with sequences for 'Mary, Mary, quite contrary', and the story of 'Goldilocks' for which I had the costumes on hire. I quickly realised that Lydia was not just a good model but a performer who was able to interpret stories with poses and facial expressions. Not always true of models.

Having done that we shot some fashion, and used a fine selection of her pretty floral dresses - very much 'girl-next-door'. Then I felt especially privileged that I was the first photographer to shoot her at a new level (swimwear). She certainly did it justice, and I hope my work reassured her.

She even brought a bow and arrow, and a sword! And yes we did use them!

Would I work with Lydia again? Absolutely, so it's not if but when our paths cross again, a fresh encounter will be my great delight.

Today I had the absolute pleasure of working with Lydia on one of her Studio days at Inspire Studios, Salisbury, we had good pre-coms and Lydia brought with her items of clothing that we had discussed, I had brought with me clothing and props which I had hoped she could wear and because we had discussed it I bought the required sizes she advised and it worked swimmingly. I had high hopes when shooting with this beautiful young lady and I was not disappointed, her modelling is second to none striking one superb pose after another without any direction asked for or needed. She is a lovely girl and very easy to chat with and I feel we got on very well and I left with some fantastic images. This was my first shoot with Lydia and I sincerely hope it will not be my last. I highly recommend Lydia if you hire you you will not be disappointed.

Second shoot with Lydia - organisation and comms on both were great. Really contributes ideas to the process, both before and during the shoot. Today was a 6AM start to get shots in the centre of Lincoln before it got busy - she was there bang on time with a bag full of well thought out outfits.

Definitely recommended - I'm sure the third shoot will be soon(ish) - we already have a couple of ideas.

Thank Lydia - you were awesome - again!

Had a lovely remote session with Lydia last weekend at PGD Modeling and Photography Studio, working on an ongoing project of mine. She was ready from the get-go, with makeup prepared according to the pre-comms, and a wealth of wardrobe and props. The shoot went off perfectly.

She was able to bring a variety of different looks to life, and she maintained a high level of energy and enthusiasm for the entire session. Poses were on point, expressions perfectly in tune with the theme, pose, and lighting--a wonderful shoot overall.

Highly recommended!
