My third shoot with Helen, but the first one for over two years. In the meantime, she has been developing her modelling techniques. She always was very easy to photograph, but now she's even better.

She has always approached our shoots with great professionalism and, in addition to her obvious modelling talent, she is very stimulating company. In fact, the only problem is that it's very easy to start chatting and forget that the reason for being there is to take pictures. I think we got some good ones, though.

Thanks again, Helen.

Helen and I have worked together previously in the context of a group shoot. This time I had the pleasure of working with her one to one, and it was every bit as successful as i’d hoped.

Pre-comms were great and we shared a mood board, so on the day we were up and running very quickly.

Helen was well-prepared with everything she needed and more besides. She readily bought into the ideas I’d put forward and contributed her own thoughts and variations as we went along. The time passed quickly, but by the end of the session we had accomplished pretty much everything we set out to do and a few additional improvised ideas along the way.

It was a true collaboration throughout with full commitment from both sides of the camera. Helen was great company and a joy to work with, in additional to being a very accomplished model.

I recommend Helen wholeheartedly and look forward to the next time we work together.

After Helen very kindly tagged me in a casting call for a last minute cover for a cancellation I was so happy to hear that she would be there too. It was a bridal shoot at Hever Castle and it was so great to work alongside Helen, I've worked with her before and as before I would always highly recommend her to anyone as she's so hardworking and a true beauty as well! She's also such a pleasure to be around and we do always have a good laugh.

Thanks for being such a pleasure to work with hun, and until next time.. which I'm sure won't be long! ♥

Helen is a fantastic model and working with her was fantastic. Her warm, easy going, fun nature makes her so good to work with. She instantly gelled with the male model she was working with for the day and everyone on our team loved them both. I would highly recommend her to anyone.

I had the pleasure of doing Helens hair for her at a recent bridal shoot at Hever Castle. She was fabulous to work with. A very easy going and friendly personality combined with a clear talent in front of the camera and a very professional approach. What better combination! I would recommend Helen to anyone!

Helen is a wonderful model, who I had the great pleasure of providing makeup for, on a Bridal shoot yesterday. Just such a lovely personality, she was very professional and from what I could see on the back of the camera has helped achieve some amazing shots. I hope to work with Helen again soon x

I had the pleasure of working with Helen for the first time on our studio’s James Bond themed shoot where she played a glamorous, but villainous, adversary to our hero.

Helen came well prepared, looking fantastic, and acted out her role brilliantly.

It was lovely to work with you Helen and look forward to the next time!

Very highly recommended.

Another fabulous underwater shoot with Helen. This lady has charm wit, and great humour to go alongside a fabulous look and body. I haven't found a style she cannot make her own. Thanks so much for some wonderful images Helen. You are a constant source of inspiration and encouragement.

Worked with Helen for the first time today. She was just wonderful. From the moment she arrives you think, 'this is going to be fun'. She is very easy to work with, but at the same time, extremely diligent and interested in how to achieve the best poses and best look. The pre-coms were excellent, we both knew what we were trying to do before we started, but then we were able to improvise and build as we went. I'm afraid I worked her quite hard, revisiting some of her amazing muscle definition poses, but we had a lot of fun and got great results. Can't wait to work with her again.

I got to work with Helen for the first time yesterday and I am so glad I did. we were working on a shoot based on the TV show Blind Date.

Helen was great fun to work with she engaged with our actors and acted superbly. The shoot was a lorra laughs and Helen fitted in perfectly.

Thank you so much Helen and it was great to meet and work with you for the first time. Can't wait till the next time.

I met Helen for the first time when she was one of the contestants on our Blind Date shoot. She was such a lovely, friendly person to work with and her acting was very natural and of a very high standard.

I very much hope to work with you again Helen - you are great!

Marco Bellimbusto

Helen is just amazing. Her talent as a model are fast being matched by her ability as an editor. I'll not go on too much as I've said it all before. Just book her and relax, she really makes life easy as well as exciting and inspiring for the photographer. Thanks so much for everything Helen.

If you haven’t had a shoot with Helen you should. It will enrich your photographic experience. She was the first in my project of shooting experienced models. She has set a very high standard for me going forward.

Helen is charming, gorgeous, a ready follower and a gentle guide. I very highly recommend her.

Helen was booked to shoot underwater with Marco Bellimbusto, but was ready to shoot before he was, so I jumped in for a few sneaky shots :) Superb Underwater model, and immensely capable - very highly recommended

Marco Bellimbusto

Helen has been to a number of my underwater shoots, but always working with another photographer. This time she came back and I had the opportunity to work with her. Unfortunately we only managed one set on this incredibly busy shoot, but Helen is superb. She came prepared with her own props and contributed carefully thought out ideas to shoot. I would be delighted to have her back at any time and she is most highly recommended. Thanks Helen

Helen was at the studio for a shoot and was very much the professional model. Very easy to work with and very chatty which always makes things easier when the ice is broken early.

Highly recommend Helen as she communicates before and during the shoot well and is fully prepared to do what's needed to get the shot.

Book Helen in for a worry free shoot!

Marco Bellimbusto

Words don't do this lady justice. She just gives and gives. First time underwater for Helen, and anyone who has done it will testify, it's a tough gig. Stinging eyes, choking on chlorinated water the lot. She just wouldn't stop. One of the first in the water and last to get out. Beautiful, tough, athletic., all apply, but the words that best serve are "true class". Pre shoot coms excellent, arrived early. Photographers dream model. Book with 100% confidence.
