When I first started on this new photography adventure a few years ago, Keira’s PP header photograph of her wearing a multitude of different pairs of shades knocked me out – quirky, different, and exactly the sort of photograph I would be hoping to create myself.

So, although at different ends of the country, Keira and I have been trying to organise a "Get to know you" shoot since long before the wretched Chinaman ate his bat and the World stood still for a year.

Well, luckily for me (and my fellow Southerners) Keira “tours” fairly regularly and we finally made it for a whole day’s shoot.

And was it worth the wait ..... ?

ABSOLUTELY.

Keira turned up early, loaded with everything including the kitchen sink and within minutes she was looking a knock-out and ready to go.

The results flowed seamlessly (and immediately), a bubbling cauldron of ideas and set-ups, with lots of laughter ruling the day, and I think it’s fair to say we got on like a house on fire and both really enjoyed the shoot.

I had a particular unusual eye-make-up in mind, and we absolutely nailed-it.

For a first “Get to know you” one, it was very special.

The Reference Bit:

Keira is obviously extremely experienced and highly professional, with a stunning look and range of facial expressions and body contortions to die for, but the killer for me is that she is a such total delight to work with.

Pre-coms were both comprehensive and entertaining.

We have themes and plans made for the next shoot already, and for me it just can’t come soon enough.

Thank you, Keira.

I've been wanting to shoot with the bundle of energy and creative genius that is Keira for a while now but distance (and other factors recently) has always got in the way. So when I knew she was coming south and that NLS was available on a day she was free I jumped at the chance.

The main focus of the shoot was to "Keira" my cello and she certainly didn't disappoint in any way. We started off with some of her home made lingerie in one of the natural light areas that NLS is famous for and she absolutely nailed it without any problem. For some, posing with the cello is a challenge that is difficult to overcome at best but Keira took to it like a duck to water. The second set involved a more traditional type dress and a very different set of poses to what had gone before: I am very happy with the results of this as they have a more sensual, loving element to them. The final cello set was a mono set involving some of the posing blocks that Tris has dotted around the place. I have no idea how she gets into some of these shapes but again Keira nailed it with a set of photos very different in mood to the other two. We finished off by giving the cello a rest and doing a grungy type set against the blue door between the two studios.

The whole shoot from start to finish was an absolute joy to be part of. Keira is a natural at posing, but she is more than that: Friendly, chatty, brim full of ideas and suggestions - all you could possibly want from a model and more. I intend going north later in the year, and one of the first things I will be doing is pencilling in a second shoot with her, this time for some location work. Would I recommend Keira? Hell yes!

On our last shoot at Two Wei Keira and I made a decision to confine our time to shooting inside the property. We also made a firm decision to return and weather permitting explore the extensive shoot opportunities in the grounds, should the weather not be kind we knew we had only scratched the surface of the wonderful shoot opportunities inside so it would be win, win anyway.

Keira arrived early and this enabled us to chat through things over a coffee and discuss ideas.

She had brought all the items I had asked her to bring and her large case contained a multitude of extra outfits and other goodies we could use.

Those who have worked with Keira before will know she is a real genius with hair and makeup how she just creates the look that has just been discussed to a high professional standard in what seems like the blink of an eye, this still amazes me even after working with her on quite a few shoots now.

As a model Keira is amazing after a short discussion to explain what is required before each set she explodes into action mode, creating incredible shapes combined with great facial expressions and you just know you have not only nailed the shot you want but also have many other bonus contenders for your final choice selection.

I would describe Keira as a grafter who will get stuck in, full of spontaneity mixed with a heap of creativity, always ready to contribute with ideas, very professional yet tremendous fun. We always have a laugh and chat away whilst we are working, so our shoots are always relaxed yet very productive and this is apparent when we review the images, the wows, we nailed it and high fives are always in great abundance.

Well another successful shoot with the super talented bundle of fun and energy that is Keira, I am certainly looking forward to our next shoot and have absolutely no hesitation in recommending her to photographers whatever level of experience you are. Booking Keira for your next shoot will be the best thing you do.

Thanks Keira see you soon for our next shoot. TonyT

I booked a last minute remote shoot with Keira. The 2nd time we have worked together.

What can I say, it was amazing.

Normally with the few remote shoots I have done, I found it best to prepare very well, with ideas already thought out.

I decided to throw that out the window with this shoot.

With the right attitude and model, as in this case, it soon turned into an amazing creative happening!

There is not much to say about Keira that others have already written.

She does not disappoint!

Professional, creative, perfect to work with.

Highly recommended, and I would work with Keira again 🙂

Yet another great shoot, as usual the pre shoot communications were excellent as we had talked over ideas a couple of times. Always plenty of input both before and during the shoot from both sides. A different set of shots with some creative gel lighting and use of the hot tub set for some semi submerged shots too. I always enjoy these shoot, as we now have had a few remote ones. I look forward to the chance of face to face shoot again in the not too distant future, on her visit north.

Once again, I would highly reccommend Keira to any photographers out there.

Heres to the next time

Really great shoot with Keira at Natural Light Spaces studio.

Keira is a highly professional model and as such; has a gifted quality and insight into what makes a

really successful photo shoot. I would highly recommend Keira and hope we can work together again.

This is the third shoot I have had with Keira. As with the other ones it was excellent, and I am very pleased with the results. She is very bubbly with some remarkable poses that make the shoot worthwhile. Communications before the shoot were excellent that makes for an enjoyable shoot. I would certainty recommend Keira to any other Photographers.

Keira Lavelle

Having shot with Keira a few times now I had the opportunity at short notice to work with her again this time at the Two Wei House Location, so as I had not done a shoot for 14 months due to the Covid-19 Pandemic I jumped at the chance.

The pre shoot coms were great as usual and she had more goodies in her ginormous suitcase than any photographer could dream off.

Keira is excellent at doing all the conventional modelling, however she will always go that extra mile, try something different, or whatever is necessary to get the shot you are after. I should add she does this with total commitment, tons of skill, talent and unbelievable creativity and she will work very hard from the first shot to the very last pose of the shoot.

She is an exceptional model always ready and willing to contribute with ideas, styling etc drawing on her vast experience and knowledge but it does not stop there Keira is great fun wonderful company in fact a total professional who loves modelling.

It was a brilliant shoot we nailed every set and came away with stunning images, if you have worked with Keira you will know all this anyway, however if you have not yet worked with her then you really are missing out. My advice is to book her for your next shoot you will be so glad you did. I have no hesitation in recommending her to all photographers whatever your level or experience.

Thanks Keira another terrific shoot, looking forward to the next one. Tony T

Dedication, dedication, dedication - we think that this is the key which makes Keira so good - she's a pure, 100%, 24 carat model to the core!

We're so pleased that Keira found us and that we now appear to have become a staging post for her tours.

Latest visits in mid May were simply awesome and it's with eager anticipation that we await her next gracing of Two Wei in mid June.

There should be no question about shooting with Keira - in fact, it should be mandatory ;)

857 References WOW ,Its all been said many times , Its almost impossible too ad anything new. I have worked with Keira many times over the last few years., and i can honestly say every shoot has been a joy/ She is with out doubt my favourite model .. So versatile with poses and very helpful with advice, including advice on lighting and exposure. This lady is a qualified scientist as well as the best model you will ever find .If you are new to photography she is certainly the person to help you start., and if you are an experienced photographer, and have never worked with her, then you do not know what you are missing. I cannot wait to work with her again

It was my first shoot with Keira at the Natural Light Spaces Studio - 3 hour shoot. I have to say without exception that Keira was an absolute pleasure to work with. She has so much fun and modelling ability. Her ideas and styles were absolutely stunning, and were achieved seemingly, totally seamlessly. Keira was spontaneous and had a brilliant attitude during the shoot.

I highly recommend her to a photographer of any level - you will be guaranteed an absolutely amazing shoot. Keira is very honest, genuine, down to earth and caring, with a lovely sense of humour. I really believe that I achieved some brilliant images.

Thank you once again Keira. I cannot wait till next time!

My first time working with Keira Lavelle - 5 hours at the excellent Natural Light Spaces, shared with Kristin@WestFive.

And what a pleasure it was. Even before we shot, I really enjoyed reading her entertaining profile. Pre shoot comms were first class, and Keira thrives on contributing her creativity to the shoot.

Keira’s posing is inventive, energetic and hugely varied. Her excellent make up skills add much to the shoot. Keira’s passion shines through her work. She is great fun to work with, but at the same time professional and committed.

We ended a full-on session with much left to explore. Thankfully that means another shoot. Keira is a Class Act, and merits the highest recommendation.

This was my first shoot after lockdown. I found myself quite rusty but Keira was as usual buzzing, full of energy and ideas. As ever a very productive venture into the world according to Keira.

I hope there will be many more joyous excursions with this young Lady.

Recommend? Goes without saying!

Not much I can add that hasn't already been said.

Keira is so unique that its hard to put her into a category or genre.

One thing I can add.....when you give her a blank sheet (ie absolutely no preconceived idea of what to shoot), you know full well that you've possibly unleashed a creative monster with the energy of a Duracell Bunny on speed.

Give her a plain prop (small flight of steps) and it becomes so much different.

Awesome shoot as usual with some amazing images but equally as important, time spent with a genuinely nice person with a serious passion for what she does.

Cheers Keira and here's to the next one :)

Finally got to shoot with Keira after a couple of cancellations due to lockdown, but it was well worth the wait! We worked together on her long weekend at Natural Light Spaces.

Keira had arrived bright and early, giving us a chance to have a chat through things and discuss ideas.

Keira is a very enthusiastic and energetic model, full of great poses and amazing shapes! She has a great wardrobe of outfits as well, giving you the chance to shoot a nice range of styles.

We had a very creative four hour session, although it did seem to fly by!

Keira is highly recommended by me, and i would love to work with her again in the future :)

This was our second shoot at my place. A very relaxed day taking our time and getting (in my opinion) some really good images I can use in my artwork. As I said before Keira is a lovely girl a pleasure to work with and easy to talk with , we had no shortage of conversation, the day flew by. Everyone who has worked with Keira knows how versatile she is with plenty of shapes and expressions.

To sum-up Keira is great to know and fabulous to work with.

The Mad Hatter

Another shoot with this beautiful person, our 10th I think and every bit as wonderful as all the others. Happy, fun, utterly spontaneous, multi-talented, hard working, all these accolades come to the fore when thinking about Keira. Fabulously hosted by Two Wei Location House, it was an epic 4 hours which passed too quickly. I can't wait until the next time, thank you so much Keira.

Captain Camera

Keira was soooo so good that I had to come back for a SECOND remote shoot. We shot a lot of ideas but mainly nudes, bodyscapes and lingerie as well.

And when you see a photo you instantly know it's Keira Wink

Thank you Keira for a wonderful shoot, and for welcoming me into your home Smile

Highly recommended!!

Doing my bit to help Keira to 1,000 references. It will be a lucky photographer who will say "It's been said of Keira a thousand times before, what possibly could I add?" Another exciting remote shoot in the dazzling Yorkshire sunshine. We did wet work today utilising Keira's hot tub. It was technically quite challenging but Keira barely broke into a sweat. Thank you yet again.

So this is my nth shoot with Keira - and it will definitely not be the last. If you have not shot with Keira then you have missed out. There is no-one with more energy, more passion for nailing the shot and more raw talent than Keira. Completely reliable, loads of fun but very professional at the same time. Keira can swim, climb, bend, pose, look sexy, look beautiful, look sad look happy,look pretty much anything really. Keira comes with a very complete set of outfits, impeccable make-up and a can do attitude.

As always I have loads of shots to edit from countless sets we did on this latest shoot - both studio and location. As we know each other well now the sparking of creativity is full of mega-awesomeness (or some other similar expression that Keira would use) but to be honest Keira is very easy to get on with so productivity and innovation is very high from the get go. Just look at her portfolio from a very wide range of photographers to see what Keira is capable of producing.

Thanks again for another wonderful shoot Keira - I cant wait to shoot again :)
