I had a wonderful shoot with Helen at her home.

I have known Helen for a long time and have always enjoyed worked with her.

We always have plenty to talk about, and manage to create some great pictures.

Helen is a warm and caring person, and a creative person who enjoys modeling.

She is currently pregnant and looking forward to her first child.

I always look forward to working with Helen and see her as a dear friend.

I will certainly see her again.

A great model and a great friend.

A joy to work with.

I consider myself very lucky woking with Helen. I did my first maternity photoshoot with her and it was a great experience. I loved it.

Helen is amazing, she is kind, fun, professional, and creative. Her husband helped a lot during the shoot too, and both of them suggested new ideas in terms of light, background, effects, wardrobe and so on. I really loved the results, it was above my expectations. Helen and her husband were very generous.

I highly recommend working with Helen, I'm sure any photographer will get much better results than what they expect.

I'm very grateful for that experience, until we meet again, I wish Helen the best in the remainder of her pregnancy and motherhood beyond.

I had my sixth shoot with Helen over the weekend, but this was a bit different - my first maternity shoot with anyone.

Well, I think I picked the right person for that particular first. I wasn't sure what to expect, and had emphasised to Helen that she should take things at whatever pace she wanted. I should have guessed that she would be usual energetic self even at 35 weeks!

And with her husband Roger on hand to help with set-ups, we went through a great mix of sets, from the more traditional maternity poses to creative mono as well as experimenting with smoke & gels. I think the results include some simply cracking images.

So a huge thanks Helen - it's always great catching up & working with you. All the best for the remainder of your pregnancy and motherhood beyond!

Lucky number 7 shoot with HD on Friday 13th!

Was a privilege to be able to shoot Helen during her pregnancy.

We shot in her home studio, using a couple of light set ups, some of her wardrobe and a few bits I brought along.

Back of camera review pleasing.

Alongside being a wonderful model Helen is both considerate & crazy!

Special mention for Roger, the shoot benefitted from his expert assistance.

It's a pleasure to spend time with these two and easy to achieve memorable images working with them.

Thank you both.

A long overdue (Yes that is a "due" pun) with Helen at her lovely studio, shooting Maternity (first time for me) and had a really great time as usual! Much art created and much chat was had. Helen should probably have charged extra for the therapy ;-)

I was lucky enough to have the opportunity to shoot with Helen again and as always the images we produced together far exceeded my expectations. Helen is a delight to work with and such a fun personality to spend time with.

I had a wonderful maternity photo shoot with Helen at Heavenly Bodies Studio yesterday. The studio is compact with a good selection of studio equipment. Her husband Roger was also on hand to give any technical advice and to help with the lighting. Helen was her usual charming self, very cheerful and friendly. It was nice to shoot with Helen again and I have some amazing shots from the session. I would certainly recommend Helen.

Always fun shooting with Helen!

When I found out that, after a while of trying, she had become pregnant, I was So happy for her.

Helen and I shot a while back and formed a distance but close friendship and I jumped at the chance to shoot with her again, spending time with Helen is always enjoyable. She embraced my ideas and despite my 2 1/2 hour rain soaked journey to get to Heavenly Body Studio, she was brimming with enthusiasm to create some lovely, beautiful images. We shot later than arranged and Helen coped amazingly, being 36 weeks along the journey.

My ideas involved playing with Light, movement and shapes, all of which we achieved in the short time we had together. I thoroughly enjoy our shoot and wish Helen and Roger all the very best for the future. I’m really pleased with the art we created there.

I hope to keep in touch with them both. Thank You for everything Helen, including your wise words and advice. Take Care! KJ

Had a really great shoot with Helen on Sunday.

Roger and Helen are expecting a new arrival in just a few weeks.

Helen is always a bundle of fun and works hard for each idea no matter how wacky they may be.

Pre shoot communication was excellent. On the day we shot some of the more conventional baby bump images... you have to really.

We then moved on to some more creative ideas involving flowing dresses, material and gobos.

I would recommend Helen to anyone

I love shooting with Helen. She is a ball of motion (but stops when it's time to click) and always up and fun to shoot with. We had great communication before hand and it went so well. This was a remote shoot from the UK to Chicago and I was very happy with what we did. She (and Roger) makes remote shooting very easy. We had a maternity shoot so it might be a while before we shoot again, but Helen was great and I know we'll shoot again. Do yourself a favor and book a shoot with Helen--I don't think you'll be disappointed. Also, Roger is a pleasure to work with too. He's creative and willing to go the extra mile in helping and is so easy to talk to and that makes all the difference too. Thanks so much.

This was my second shoot with Helen and much anticipated, as I enjoyed our first shoot so much. Helen is such an interesting person and such an instinctive model. Our session went along so easily, as I thought it would. We both put our creativity into the shoot and had discussed ideas and both gathered props for the shoot in advance. It was a real collaboration as our ideas meshed so well. It was my first maternity shoot and so such a joy and a privilege to record a new life coming. Helen is a real gem, the real jewel in the studio, outshining the bling she wore for the shoot. If you ever get chance to work with her, don't hesitate, just go for it!

Had my 5th shoot with Helen at her home studio last Sunday. This was a bit different from the norm as Helen is heavily pregnant with her baby due in round about 7-8 weeks. As always Helen is totally professional and has a great personality that's very infectious. Help was on hand from her husband Roger to change the backdrops and sort out the lights. Helen, is still very creative, though not quite as flexible and is just fun to shoot with.

Thanks Helen for another great shoot and I hope all goes well for you and Roger and the little one.

Take care

My third shoot with Helen, and it was as much fun as the previous two, with the difference being that Helen is well into her pregnancy.

We chatted throughout the shoot which meant that the time flew by and Helen was very happy to take direction and had some ideas of her own which I really liked.

Thank you very much Helen for a great time, and have fun with your new addition to the family.

All the best to you and Roger, very highly recommended.

My third, and hopefully not my last, shoot with the adorable, idiosyncratic, mischievous, wickedly humorous and very pregnant Helen at Heavenly Bodies Studio.

For once I had done some solid preparation for his shoot and Helen swept up my ideas into a veritable whirlwind of poses. Despite all the delightful chat we produced a card full of images with Roger once again invaluable on the lighting. I am looking forward to editing some great images this weekend.

Thank you Helen and Roger and my very best for your future.

I hadn't really shot since Covid came along, so it was a case of catch up on forgotten techniques with Roger Roger coaching, and Helen plus bump as model.

I laughed earlier at my reference from Helen, describing ME! as quirky.

Helen manages to bring out the best out in people. She blends purity and irreverence in one lovely little package.

Another great shoot with Helen, can't believe it had been 6 years since the last one! Helen is always great fun to work with. We shot some in her studio and took advantage of the weather to shoot in the garden too. We did talk about doing a remote shoot but I'm really glad took the time to drive down and shoot in person.

Thanks for another great shoot Helen and I'll try not to leave it another 6 years!

AlanFrank

I met Helen for the first time today. We clicked from the start and I found her warm, friendly, chatty and a little quirky which adds to her allure. I think we worked well together as we both had ideas which we explored and it felt very collaborative and just so much fun!. Helen has a true womans figure with curves in wonderful places! Her communications are excellent. Her professionalism outstanding. I am sure it will be just the first of many shoots in the future. What larks Pip, what larks!

Another wonderful trip to the wilds of Wiltshire for an amazing 4 hours will the always awesome Helen.

Going into the shoot I was a little uncertain what I was going to shoot but straight Helen was the ideas fountain with vintage looks (both studio & location), contemporary & finally some art nude, 4 hours just flew by!

As always Helen was her usual funny, witty & knowledgeable and we both seem to find a common ground when it came to music, blasting out tunes from the 40's & 50's!!

Certainly very highly recommended & just a joy to work with

I had a wonderful first shoot with Helen at Heavenly Bodies Studio in Chippenham. Originally I responded to a casting call for a location shoot in the Monmouthshire countryside. However, as the shoot date came closer we both realised that the weather was not likely to be suitable without considerable discomfort for both of us. Pre-shoot communication was excellent and we decided to switch the shoot to the studio and keep to the proposed date.

I had never met Helen before, although we have corresponded in the past and therefore I was anxious to have the opportunity to work with her. She is a beautiful lady with a vivacious personality in front of the camera. She just seems to move effortlessly between poses knowing exactly how to generate striking poses that show her at her best. She is very well read and we discussed many topics during our time together with the effect that the shoot just seem to fly by.

I had a wonderful shoot and thoroughly enjoyed myself. Thank you so much. Very highly recommended.
