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.

I've had the pleasure to work Holly, on a studio based shoot.

Holly was punctual, ready to get started and turned with the wardrobe items that I had requested.

The shots were already planned out and Holly was focused and hardworking, in achieving the required shots for the brief.

I was very pleased with the results and Holly's focus and hardwork.

I would highly recommend Holly.

I applied to one of Hollys casting calls and arranged to shoot at her place.

Pre shoot comms were spot on. Date, time, location, shoot styles and contact details all done within a few messages. None of this ping pong messaging backwards and forwards for days on end.

Holly was ready to shoot when I arrived but still made a cuppa (she makes a lovely cup of tea :) ) and the shoot began. She had laid out outfits that fitted the exact styles we'd planned. We got through several sets and had time for a break and another cuppa. I shot a mixture of digital and film and I can hardly wait to get the film developed.

Holly is so easy to get along with. Within a few minutes we were chatting and laughing and joking and that made for a very relaxed, chilled shoot. I like to think this is reflected in the images.

The time flew by far too quickly. So much so that we've made tentative plans to shoot again in the near future to shoot again.

Recommended? Hell yeah!

Awesome model and a nice person as well.

I was delighted to welcome Holly to the studio for our first shoot today. We spent an enjoyable couple of hours in and around the studio using the different locations and areas of the building to get some different images.

Comms were excellent throughout the planning. Holly turned up on time with plenty of outfits that fitted the ideas I had for the shoot.

Holly needs little direction and she had no problem getting into the swing of what I was after in each set, although she is more than happy to follow any directions that were given.

Holly herself is very friendly and chatty, but entirely professional in her approach to work.

I have no hesitation in recommending Holly to anyone looking for a standout and talented model, and I hope we can work together again in the near future.

I've worked with Holly before and when Holly applied to be one of the models at a model shoot I organised for my local Camera Club, I didn't hesitate.

Holly was just what I needed - someone who could pose with minimal direction while I worked with the club members across all the models on getting their shots.

Great pre-communications, turned up as requested and worked hard to help people get the shots. Highly recommended.
