holly and me had discussed moodboard ideas and she loved my ideas, so we discussed what style of clothing would go on shoot and she had great ideas with emotions and posing as she does photography and found that shoot was relaxing and calm and the settings of botanical gardens was picturesque and worked perfectly with our ideas and had a laugh and was fun shoot and holly is bubbly and down to earth and makes you laugh and very professional and look forward to working with her in the future again soon

Holly was really easy to communicate with and kept me informed of how her preparation was going. She took my instructions very well and made a really good set of photos. Unfortunately I wasn’t able to directly do the shoot due to the current crisis but she managed to do Both the photography and the modelling. She came up with some good ideas during the shoot and I’d definitely recommend her.

I had another great shoot with Holly at her flat on Sunday, just gone. Including a group shoot I think that this is about our 4th :)

Holly is great to work with, needs very little direction (ideal if you're a novice) but she understood, quite intuitively, what I was looking to get many times throughout our 3 hour session.

We were very fortunate that the weather, although cold, was great for outdoor work too... on the top deck of the flat or the fire escape.

Once again thank you Holly for being a Star, looking fabulous, friendly and hospitable.

I'm looking forward to working with Holly again, once the weather is much warmer (lol)... I recommend her to all levels of photographer.

Worked with Holly today! The shoot went so well! It was an 80s themed set so 80s music was playing all day! Holly was incredibly fluid modelling in the different looks/attitudes we worked through! She even sourced the amazing MUA, Lily Winfield, who did all the make-up for the sets.

Recommended!!

Had my first shoot with Holly at her apartment.

I was greeted with a lovely smile & a super cup of coffee & Holly was made up & ready to rock our shoot, which she certainly did.

We had planned some low key portraits & hollywoodesque type lighting & this was done with a simple backdrop, beauty dish & speedlight added later.

The images we were producing on the back of the camera looked fab from the off & Holly's skin was glowing. It's always exciting when you know you are capturing great images.

Had a super time & Holly is so easy to chat with & down to earth. Time flew by, but we honestly nailed everything we were looking for in superfast time & even had time for another coffee at the end of the shoot.

Perfect host & highly recommended.

I had the pleasure of working with Holly at a networking event at Raw Studios, she is easy to shoot with and very down to earth. We shot a few different styles and all were great!

Holly is an absolute delight and so easy to work with !

We arranged a date for this shoot a while ago - pre-shoot comms were spot on and a few sets agreed. I arrived at her flat and Holly had a great variety of outfits that were perfect for the shoot ready and prepared. She has a natural instinct to know when to hold a pose and when to quickly flow from one to another. Her flat is great to shoot from too - with many different choices for where to shoot. The time went by really quickly and I am very pleased with the images we achieved together.

I totally recommend working with Holly - something I will definitely do again soon !

My second shoot with Holly. The first at her flat and this time at Natural Light Spaces. As usual, pre shoot comms were second to none.

Holly is a true professional in her attitude and ability. She poses with ease and I could tell before I'd even pressed the shutter that the shot was going to be great.

As a person she's lovely. Down to earth, no airs and graces and a great sense of humour.

Holly is highly recommended by me :)

Had such an awesome shoot with Holly and so enjoyed our shoot together.

Excellent pre comms and was shoot ready when I arrived with plenty of outfits prepared based on the mood-board.

Holly is just amazing in front of camera and just so easy to work with, such a lovely person too 😁.

We got some great images that I am really proud of. Thank again Holly for an awesome shoot.

Thoroughly recommend Holly 🙌🏻

First shoot with Holly, came with good variety of outfits, moved and posed freely and responded to direction willingly.

Total pleasure to work with, easy going and a good sense of humour. Thoroughly recommend.

Look forward to working with Holly again.

Holly is amazing, there is literally no look she can't pull off and make her own.

Incredible to work with, makes a great cup of tea and is one of the nicest people I've met in this industry.

Cannot recommend her highly enough!

Only my second shoot with Holly but it felt like the tentth. She is so easy to get on with, such a good laugh and getting amazing shots with her is just effortless.

With some models you really can feel that they love modelling, the creativity, the working together to get some great shots, Holly is absolutely one of those models. Being a photographer herself means she has really great ideas and im sure if you dont have much experience, she'd be happy to help you with settings or lighting.

Without a doubt one of the best models in the midlands, do not hesitate to book with her!

I had a fabulous first shoot with Holly today, I've wanted to work with her for some time and it really was an absolute delight.

We shot at her home, which is blessed with natural light and numerous opportunities.I had shared a mood board before the shoot and Holly was well prepared with outfits and ideas. Nothing was too much trouble and she did everything possible to ensure we got the shots we were after. The time just flew by.

Holly’s references speak for themselves, but I’ll add another to the list here. She’s fabulous, blessed with a wonderful peronality, moving seamlessly from pose to pose, sharing ideas and pointers. I can't recommend her highly enough and I can’t wait to shoot with her again.

Thanks Holly 😊

I don't have enough superlatives to describe working with Holly. Exceptional pre-coms. No question unanswered and very Swift response. Was happy with the small amount of shuffling I had to do with work/trains. The cosy location that we shot at was more than ample for four separate "locations" and 4 outfit changes within two hours.

Holly is an engaging and seasoned model. Takes direction well and understood my sometimes mealy mouthed requests easily.

Solid variety of poses, full of ideas herself and really enjoyable to talk to throughout.

I've wanted to work with Holly for a while as I found her personality came through on the forums and I felt she exceeded expectations. Really happy I had this first chance to shoot her and I hope she continues behind the camera as well as infront of it.

This was my second time shooting with Holly, this time as part of a group shoot at Darklens Studio.

We had a fabulous shoot and Holly had various looks to suit a lot of the scenario's that were set up. Holly needs no direction and oozes class when you're shooting with her, she looks so comfortable, sassy, sexy … from high fashion to lingerie Holly always delivers, she had a great rapport with all the togs on the day.

She is incredibly photogenic and I'll be proud to have my work with her on my portfolio soon, you need to work with this beautiful woman, Holly once again gets a huge recommendation from me … I'm sure our paths will cross again soon, thanks Holly.

First ever shoot with Holly after always missing the chance I'm super glad I did. Holly flows between poses so smoothly it hard to not just click away .Loved the fact Holly was up for any of the daft ideas the group had and the few smaller ones I had the opportunity to shoot.

Highly recommended and now I have worked with Holly will aim to organise more shoots with her

Another enjoyable shoot with Holly, who is a lovely person with whom to work. As always, her pre-shoot communications were excellent. We had discussed outfits beforehand and her selection met my brief perfectly.

Holly is the consummate professional, poses effortlessly and changes quickly so we got through lots of sets. She takes a keen interest in the back of the camera adjusting her poses when necessary. Together we created some stunning images.

I'd already placed Holly on my WTWW list a week or so ago, after admiring her very impressive portfolio. I think i liked over 25 of her portfolio!! So imagine how i felt when i put a last minute casting in Birmingham and Holly is the first to apply!!

i didn't have any anxiety that generally comes from arranging shoots. What to do, planning ideas etc, because Holly showed enough in her portfolio how high end she is.

She was at the agreed location early, with more than the sets we agreed, as she nipped into Primark to get more! This is a dream for me as it gave us more creativity and opportunities to try new things.

We just hit it off really well. Stunning eyes and knows exactly how to make images. I think from image one, Holly was on her 'A game'!

Overall, i hit the jackpot when Holly came forward. Thank you so so much. It means the world that you came and created the most amazing images today.

Top model and a really lovely young lady!

Holly is wonderful to work with. I have known Holly for a number of years and she has never let me or anyone I know down.

Holly modelled my final degree fashion collection and made it come alive.

One seriously good model! A pleasure to work with.
