She Climbs a tree and scrapes her knee

Her dress has got a tear

She dances on her way to shoot

And sings upon the stair

And underneath her big red coat

She has curlers in her hair

I even heard her singing at the mirror

I’d like to say a word on her behalf

Keira, makes me laugh

How do you shoot a model like a Keira?

How do you catch a cloud and pin it down?

How do you find a word that means a Keira?

A flibbertijibbet! A will-o'-the wisp! A friend!

When I'm with her I'm confused

Out of focus and bemused

And I never know exactly where I am

Unpredictable as weather

She's as flighty as a feather

She's a darling! She's a demon! She's a lamb

So, how do you shoot a model like a Keira?

How do you catch a cloud and pin it down?

How do you find a word that means a Keira?

A flibbertijibbet! A will-o'-the wisp! A friend!

Many a thing you know you’d like to tell her

Many a thing she ought to understand

But how do you make her listen

The only way is not to

You let her go her own awesome way

Oh, how do you shoot a model like a Keira?

How do you hold a moonbeam in your hand?

When you meet a model at a remote NW Highland train station it's easy to spot the model, but this was busy train because 4 got off from the two carriages, problem was they were all men. I'm right by the driver, the guard is on the platform at the far end, then it all happens, a huge black suitcase appears, then a big pink holdall, finally a blonde appears clutching an array of other bags. Keira had landed !

It was my first real shoot for around 4 years, having drifted out due to winding down business, issues from Lyme disease, retiring at 75 and now on pension. So I found things had changed, instead of me helping a model over rocks and up rough hillsides, it was now Keira leading the way and giving me a helping hand.

Her enthusiasm is endless, she went to extraordinary lengths to make things happen, and it was a pleasure to work together and produce some great pictures. I was grateful that I could organise a shoot whilst Keira was in the Highlands, it's such a long trek to get here. .... Alex

Keira is truly amazing. Had my fourth shoot with her today, this time she was cosplaying as Nio from Akuma No Riddle. In the Anime Nio wears long sleeves and tights all the time, this is to cover a phoenix like tattoo that covers her whole body. She did a fantastic job of doing the clothed poses but the true highlight of this shoot was the nude ones with liquid latex body paint. She was able to apply the phoenix tattoo to herself using liquid latex, did an amazing, detailed job even on her own back. Truly an amazing cosplay/body paint shoot and I am looking forward to working with her again.

When you come home and the house feels empty, Keira has left the building. Please see my last reference for her, as this was a two day shoot.

Simply the best!

I've no shame in admitting I wouldn't still be here trying to make pictures if I hadn't met this blonde bundle of energy, creativity, never say no attitude,total professionalism,and dedication, looks and modelling skills beyond words, truly my muse. So easy to chat to,a totally infectious giggle makes her a joy to be around, there's never a dull moment. This was our fourth 1-2-1 multi day shoot, and as before I wanted to try a whole raft of ideas. Pre-coms with Keira are excellent, she takes the seeds I throw out and brings a harvest.

Eight different concepts from killer heels and latex on location, sub zero water and boat wrecks, landscape nudes, a 100 year old bridge whilst enduring snow, sleet and minus temperatures, taken in her stride.

Day 2, 7am, -5c, total immersion in a freezing loch and falling snow tested even Keira. I honestly hoped she's say no. Her hot shower turned to a steamy semi erotic set, followed by a studio beauty with a touch of bondage set,then bodyscape light play. A final location nude, to some workmen's joy, finished our shoot.

I can't recommend her highly enough, a very special lady.

A weekend workshop in the Scottish Highlands with Keira as one of a trio of models. I’ve worked with Keira a couple of times now and she continues to astound me in the way she is able to challenge the the location.

The landscape has minded it’s own business for millennia - then ‘Storm Keira’ descends taking no prisoners.

If you’ve worked with Keira you know what to expect - if not, and you should, be prepared for an awesome shoot.

PhotoClassic

If you have worked with Keira, then I don't need to say anything and if you haven't, then anything I say will not do justice to the powerhouse of modelling that is Keira. Focused, determined and fearless, Keira is a superb artistic model and a lovely person. Very highly recommended.

Mark Abel

I had the pleasure of working with Keira recently on the PhotoClassics Art Nude in the Landscape workshop in the Scottish Highlands.

We've worked together a number of times now and every shoot has always been creative and productive and this last one was no exception. Keira just takes everything in her stride: the locations were beautiful but the conditions were challenging (not to say brutal at times) but Keira didn't bat an eyelid.

If you haven't worked with Keira you should, it's highly unlikely that you'll be disappointed. Thank you for another excellent series of shoots Keira.

Great day with Keira yesterday. Keira is very comfortable in her own skin, committed to her work, and a thoughtful person. I enjoyed the shoot very much and I have the best of problems now, which is how to pick which shots to edit out of a large number of great images. Fun, intelligent, creative. Wonderful.

John McNairn

This is the 4th time I've been fortunate enough to shoot with Keira and wow, she just gets better and better. I had a specific idea/concept of what I was after and while it took a while to set up we came up with the goods! Keira was very patient and is very much a team player, helping out with lights and props.

As you would expect from someone so dedicated and professional, Keira has perfect pre-shoot comms, is friendly and has a wicked sense of humour. She gives her everything to make sure the shots are exactly as required. She does this in an effortless and casual way and is so relaxed, nothing is too much trouble. Such a pleasure to work with.

We chatted, we took some shots, we had some tea, changed themes regularly and we took more shots. As expected, I have hundreds of 'keepers' and am struggling to decide which ones to edit to form a project. Highly Recommended to .... well...everyone really.

If was a real pleasure finally to meet and shoot with Keira. We were stunned just how brave (i.e. ‘nicely crazy’) and creative she is!! An incredible day, lots of fun and highly memorable.

We can’t recommend her highly enough - she was great company, full of energy and just a joy to work with. Thank you Keira - come back soon 😀 .

I had my first shoot with Keira as part of her Irish Tour a couple of weeks ago and I met her mid morning from where she was staying

She was ready when I arrived and fully prepared and we were shooting within minutes of arriving at the studio.Keira is all and more that you read about her in her profile She is everything a photographer could hope to expect from a model in terms of her professionalism,posing abilities and work ethic.She is very professional, very hard working, full of energy, confident, works tirelessly presenting beautiful poses and expressions to the camera, with and without direction. As well as being a great model, Keira is a really lovely, genuine, friendly person and makes the shoot good fun with lots of creative images.

After the shoot we had a meal together and I left her over to her next shoot.

I have no hesitation in recommending Keira without reservation and would certainly shoot with her again when she visits Dublin again.

I was the final photographer to photography Kiera on last day in the south west and what a shoot on location in south Wales she brought along a lovely yellow dress along and it was perfect for the location Keira is beautiful to work with she produce the poses for the images you require she a wonderful and beautiful lady to work with and I would highly recommend her

It was a dream come true to work with Keira whose lovely, warm, bubbly, friendly and chatty personality makes everyday seem like Saturday.

I hung on every word she said and, in all seriousness, I found each one highly educational.

I didn't need to give Keira directions or present her with a story board because, just from glancing at her lively and beautifully kaleidoscopic portfolio, I knew she would meet my criteria perfectly.

She soon made it clear, however, that she was keeping one up her sleeve!

Keira produced an array of magical ideas of her own and she encouraged me to think out of the box.

She and I had an amazing amount of fun on set as we went through a number of different sets comprising vintage fashion, nude as well as erotic.

I honestly cannot wait to work with this truly endearing lady again for whom those two words "Uber Cool" may as well have been invented for.

Thank you so much Keira. Until next time, please accept my highest recommendation to you.

Our seventh shoot together. Keira is a model who just clicks and ticks every box. So delightful to work with and effortlessly create the most amazing images. This time we worked in a domestic environment using a number of rooms and props all with Keira's special kind of magic.

Definitely very highly recommended.

Thank you Keira for another truly wonderful shoot.

It's obviously been too long since my previous shoot with Keira. I'd forgotten what an incredibly lovely, confident, toned, bendy, talented and endlessly cheerful Duracell-bunny of a wild child she is! :-)

As far as I can tell, Keira isn't fazed by anything, and she positively relishes the chance to try something different. Based on the vaguest of plans, we filled an extremely productive 4 hours with tea drinking, larks, photography and laughter, and I think we could have carried on all evening if only I'd had the energy to keep pace! Whether it's sensible or serious Keira can effortlessly fill the brief... she can pose with elegant precision, ever-suprising freestyle shapery, or impromptu silliness, all on demand.

In short, time in the studio with Keira is always going to be time well spent, and time enjoyed. I really musn't leave it so long before our next shoot.

Very highly recommended to all.

Always a great pleasure to catch up and shoot with the amazing pose machine that is Keira Lavelle. Once again we flowed through several beautiful and creative sets. Keira is charming to work with, beautiful to capture and 100% talented and professional. Now all I have to do is wrestle with the massive choice of what to add to my portfolio. Big thank you xx, until next time.

Anthony Le Conte

Keira was lovely to work with and helped with various ideas and poses. She was brave for the outdoor shots and I got some nice portraits of her in the studio. She brought various outfits with her and was a pleasure to work with. I hope she decides to come over to Guernsey again. Highly recommended.

Paul Mariess

Just Wow! I'd not shot with Keira before, but she was an absolute delight to work with; extremely talented, and very professional in her approach. The shoot was planned at relatively short notice, but Keira effortlessly gave it 110% to get the desired results - with some great creative input of her own.

I would welcome the opportunity to work with her again, and can thoroughly recommend.
