Had an awesome second shoot with Karen recently, Karen is just brilliant in every way!! Very easy to get along with, down to earth and has a kind hearted demeanour.

This time our shoot took place at Unique Capture and in a short space of time we managed to do leaping/jumping with flour, ballet in smoke and some fashion. All was just brilliant and I love the results I have seen so far. Definitely an experience I will remember and I hope we are able to work together again.

Thank you so much for a wonderful shoot. If you ever get the chance, work with this lady!! Yet again, HIGHLY RECOMMENDED. Anna x:)

Well we finally managed to sort our parachute shoot, and Karen travelled up North to meet me for it.

As ever Karen is great to work with and really knows what she's after, as well as being happy to discuss ides. I always enjoy working with Karen and this time was no different - we got some fantastic results.

Thanks again Karen!

Very highly recommended.

I shoot with Karen on an underwater shoot yesterday. I was extremely lucky to get to join Karen's underwater shoot with Daren - as we had also been planning to shoot so this seemed the perfect opportunity.

Karen organized the pool which was gorgeous. She bought bags of fabrics and dresses which interacted with the water beautifully. She jumped in the pool and captured the most amazing shots. Karen had brilliant concepts and was such a laugh. Karen is a beautiful lady inside and out and such a talented photographer. Thank you so much for letting me be a mermaid!!

Can't wait to see the pics. If you get s chance to shoot with karen don't let it go. You will create something beautiful.

Much love, em xx

I had my third awesome shoot with Karen yesterday, which was fantastic. Karen is so easy to get on with and such a fantastic photographer :-)

I love shooting with Karen, as we always capture very creative images, plus having lots of laughs and jokes makes the shoot very enjoyable :-) Also with adding Emma to the element too, increased the growing number of ideas that we already had planned with solo shots.

This was my first underwater shoot and i plan to be involved in more of these badboys.

Thank you for a very enjoyable day Karen :-)

Wow!!!! After admiring this lady's work for a very long time, I am so happy we was able to finally shoot. Pre communications leading up to the shoot was brilliant, Karen was friendly and generally a nice person to be around. We got on very well and had lots of giggles.

Although the weather and locations planned, had let us down we managed to get a few awesome images. Karen is an brilliant photographer that knows how to capture a unique image. This is clearly shown in her work. Looking forward to seeing the results, as what I have seen already is beautiful.

As we did not do what we was meant to do Karen has kindly booked me again and I am really looking forward to our second shoot. If you get a chance to work with this lovely lady I would certainly do it.

Thank you for a great day. Highly recommended.:) x

I worked with Karen for the second time at a lovely studio in Milton Keynes, and due to our first shoot being a little wobbly (due to both of us falling apart!) Karen and I finally enjoyed a shoot with no mishaps!

I'll reiterate what I have previously said because it needs saying again! A lovely lady, such fun to work with, brings fantastic props and is a master of spontaneous ideas.

I already love what we created together and look forward to seeing the final edits.

Karen & I had been discussing shooting for a while and we finally nailed a date down.

I arrived at Karen's and was greeted by a posse of dogs (all of whom were lovely) and a nice cuppa. Thanks for the many cups of tea :)

The weather was bloody horrible! which being July was a little disappointing however we had a few ideas to start from and we did some shots in and around her home, we chatted through the ideas and tried a few out then chatted some more and came up with more to just go with the flow. we used the local church, one of Karen's favorites and we got some great shots.

Karen was the perfect host, many cups of tea were consumed and the conversation was great too as were the cuddles with the doggies :)

I would highly recommend Karen to anyone Thanks very much and hope to work together again

It has been nearly 2 years since I first shot with Karen, so I was delighted to get something in the diary with her whilst I was touring down South.

I love working with Karen, she is so inventive and happy to discuss ideas and try things out just to see if they will work. We were not blessed with good weather unfortunately so were not able to do our original shoot idea, but we wasted no time is changing direction and got some fabulous portrait and beauty shots with the help of Katie Sear.

I was very well looked after, got to cuddle some lovely dogs and Karen even made me lunch as well as lots of cups of tea.

Thanks Karen for great shoot - I'm already planning on scouting the next location ;)

Very highly recommended!!

It was awesome to catch up and work with Karen again last week with Stephanie Dubois. :D x

Karen's precoms were perfect, everything was clear and organised straight away. :)

When I arrived, I felt very welcome and at ease. Even greeted by a load of cute doggys. :) x

Karen catered to myself and Steph throughout the day and was very patient inbetween shooting when I was working with Steph. Karen was very enthusiastic with each make up set and had a keen interest on what products I was using. I really appreciated hearing her ideas towards each look.

Karen is very creative with the space she works with. Even going to the trouble of making up sets on the spot to get the perfect shot. She has a keen eye for detail and is a truly amazing photographer.

Thank you for a great day and for the lovely cups of tea, hehe. :P x

Totally Recommended!

I had my second shoot with Karen today and it was an absolute pleasure :)

The weather was in our favour and with Karen's fantastic eye for colour and framing we got some great shots in no time.

Karen is so easy to work with and her portfolio speaks for itself. Thank you for another lovely afternoon!

Well, I've wanted to work with Karen for ages and just wow.

Karen supplied endless cups of coffee and cheesy biscuits, oh, and amazing shots :D

Karen is very precise with what she wants to achieve, and does it fantastically. That being said, she ensures that her model feels comfortable at all times. She was more than happy to let me try my own ideas and poses too, which is always great (I soon came round to realise her ideas were much better anyway :P)

I had a wonderful day with Karen, and would happily spend many more, just shooting and chatting. She made it super relaxed and gave me access to a wealth of costumes and accessories.

I honestly can say I had a wonderful day and look forward to many more shoots

Thank you Karen ♥ xx

I have loved Karen's work for a long time now and have been trying to organise a shoot for sooo long! We even had one arranged once before but it fell through, so when I got another chance to arrange a shoot with her this weekend I was super excited about it!

It certainly didn't disappoint! Karen is so incredibly friendly, a genuine lovely person who is always up for a cuppa and a natter. She's great company so was really nice getting to know her in between sets :)

She has an awesome model wardrobe of little bits of pieces, and I got to wear an absolutely stunning wedding dress too!! She has a real eye for a good shot, taking the time to make sure every last detail is how she wants it and not just shooting for the sake of it. It's a breath of fresh air to work with someone that is that creative and invested in getting the shot! I am uber happy with what we shot, albeit gutted that the time went so quickly.

I would of been more than happy to stay for longer had I not been rushing off to another shoot! She really was just a pleasure to work with and it was definitely one of my favourite shoots in a long while!

If you haven't guessed already - I highly recommend her :D

I had a great session outdoor with the lovely Karen who shared the shooting with Max Operandi.

Karen is a talented photographer, her images speak for her.

She' s sweet and she really looks after her models, making them feeling comfortable.

We had a shooting in a a deconsecrated church in the morning together with Max Operandi, we had a lunch break and we had a final session outdoor by the river in the afternoon.

I had fun and I hope to see her again next time in UK.

Girls, don't hesitate to work with her!

I had been following Karen's beautiful work for some time, when we finally got around to working with each other it was awesome! Combine a wonderful location and a brilliant photographer the day was great! Although Karen and I weren't on top form health wise we managed to create some fantastic effortless images. This woman is truly amazing and an absolute blast to work with! I'm really looking forward to another shoot with her!

I had a very first shoot with this lovely and talented lady last Saturday at her place in Buckingham, after a long time admiring her awesome work :)

Thanks again to Karen for followed the bus I was on and let me know where I should get off, otherwise I could of ended up all the way in Cambridge without knowing :D I knew we would get on so well from her excellent pre-comms.

Karen is not just talented at photographing but she's also a great stylist. She has the eyes for what is right and a decent wardrobe which I liked pretty much everything and even thought maybe I wouldn't have to bring anything with me next time we shoot :p

Karen made the shoot just so enjoyable, she made me such lovely teas, kept me warm and made me feel comfortable. It's also incredible of how many awesome ideas she could come up with but she's also opened to ideas and communicates with the model very well throughout the shoot.

The weather wasn't very supportive on the day so we couldn't do most of the things we've planned, but we still managed to grab some great shots. I can't wait til our next shoot, hopefully we'll pick a time when the sun is out :)

I would definitely highly recommend Karen to all models, MUAs, designers... Get to work with her and you'll be thrilled :)

Today I had my first shoot with Karen and it was just fabulous. Karen is one of the most creative people I have had the pleasure of working with, and know how to make anything she touches fantastic.

Karen gives great direction as well as letting me free pose in my own style, she took me to some stunning locations and provided beautiful dresses.

It really was one of my favourite shoots, thank you so much Karen and I look forward to working with you again!

I can’t remember how many times I’ve worked with Karen now but I have a blast every time I do. This time, she took Darren S and I to the most awesome location – an abandoned airfield.

The three of us had a brilliant (and muddy) time, working on a concept we’d put together and Karen edited them in a way that means we have to go back to create a ‘sequel’, which I’m delighted about.

Her images speak for themselves but add to that her warm, friendly personality and her brilliant ideas and you have a rather awesome package. :)

Darren S

I had my second fun filled shoot with Karen, this time shooting with the lovely Harris. Karen is so fun to work with, with knowledge of amazing locations and settings to shoot in.

She's such an amazing photographer, who pays attention to so much detail, which shows in her work within her portfolio.

We've also got another shoot in the works, for sometime this year, which will be epic :-)

Another recommendation from me.

I shot with Karen at The Pit Studio in Nottingham as part of a studio day. Her pre-shoot communications were great, so we were able to plan looks and themes to really suit the location, and what we were going to bring. She is lovely and friendly and brought beautiful wardrobe and props that I really enjoyed modelling! The photos on the back of the camera all looked amazing, and she was up for trying something different with me, a little steampunk-ish theme, which was brave as I'd never done that before! Karen is an absolute STAR that I can recommended without reserve, a true artist and such a sweet, funny person. I can't wait to work with her again :)
