Laura is an exceptional model. Beautiful, fun, professional and engaging. Shooting with Laura is such a pleasure. I had the opportunity to shoot with Laura and was so pleased I finally got the chance. Laura poses with ease and grace, is happy to take on ideas and always gives 100%. Simply put, Laura is phenomenal. I'm sure we will shoot together again and I'm really looking forward to that time. Highly recommended.

I have worked with Laura numerous times and have never taken a bad photograph of her, if I have it’s been my fault, she is the consummate professional and puts 200% into what she does, is great fun to shoot with and is highly recommended.

I look forward to having the opportunity to shoot with her again in the future.

Been wanting to shoot with Laura for ages and finally found the right studio. In only two hours we covered a couple of set ups, including gel and smoke, finishing with countless amazing images. She arrived early, perfect make up for the looks we had planned and a couple of changes, as agreed. Patient, enthusiastic, talented, striking, unique. Looking forward to working, again.

THE HARWOOD. This is one reference I've been looking forward to writing!

As part of an upcoming new project I'm co-working on, and after seeing a lot of her recent work, I was really keen to get Laura on board - and she graciously accepted!

As one half of a fantastic duo, we spent the day shooting promo images...and Laura really is something else! She has an infectious personality, looks fantastic...and when you point the camera at her, incredible things happen. We could have spent all day shooting her and never get bored!

Laura is just a phenomenon, and I completely agree with all the other references you see! We're also extremely lucky to have her as part of our little team! Fortunately we have a few more upcoming opportunities to shoot in the coming months, which I'm looking forward to...and hopefully I can do her justice!

100% HIGHLY RECOMMENDED!

I've lost count of the number of shoots I've done with Laura this year. Solo, duo and as of yesterday now a trio shoot. And every single time she just seems to get better and better.

Yesterday was my first time shooting a trio of models, and my first time shooting in a building other than a custom made studio. So I was understandably a little nervous and keen to make the day go as well as possible for the models and MUA. Laura now being such a good friend, I felt able to voice my worries beforehand, and as per usual she very quickly put me in my place. In the relatively short time I have know her Laura has become my rock when it comes to my confidence when shooting and I feel blessed to have built this kind of relationship with her.

Laura was by the far the most experienced of the three models yesterday, and being such a warm, kind person the other two very quickly bonded with her. She was happy to share her knowledge, help them with their posing and just like she does with me, encourage and motivate them to achieve of their very best. The feedback I have had from the other two models says it all - they both think Laura is amazing and were in awe of her posing.

We've both said that if we lived nearer to each other we would shoot together a lot more than we do - this loss to me is certainly to the benefit of other photographers though. I'm running out of superlatives to describe Laura - just book her! You won't regret it for a moment!

These was a 2nd shoot with Laura and what a fun and amazing shoot it was.

These time we were doing a collab with a talented MUA and amazing Designer.

As usual Laura was professional , awesome with poses and fun to work with.

She is amazing in taking direction and also had amazing poses and full of energy.

Got some amazing images. Highly recommended for any of your project.

Thanks

I worked with Laura at a glitter shoot hosted by Sister Of Sinister at Studio Visage in Folkestone. Laura is easy to work with and understood what I was trying to achieve and helped me to capture some interesting shots.

I look forward to working with Laura again.

I had my first shoot with Laura and hopefully not my last!

On the day she was fully prepared with various outfits and Laura was a real joy to work with. She needed little or no direction and really made my job very easy. ♥

I can not recommend her enough, she will bring your concept to life so please do not hesitate to book her!

I have worked with Laura a couple of times now. She is very professional and can mould her looks into an incredible number of ways- from Catwalk Model, to Girl Next Door, to Siren, to Fantasy Girl. She is amazingly easy to work with, chatty, pleasant and funny too. She gets my wholehearted recommendation and has a stellar career ahead I believe!

Had a great first shoot with Laura today in a redundant church in Sandwich - a shoot we started discussing since the beginning of July and something I had been greatly looking forward to. Pre-shoot comms were excellent and Laura was really receptive of the themes I wanted to shoot. She arrived right on time and got into costume really quickly. I could see from her portfolio that she had the look I was after for the two fantasy themes I had planned, but she totally rocked them and was not afraid to try anything to get the perfect picture. She is so easy to work with, really friendly, and almost instinctively knew the looks and poses I was looking for. There are just so many possibilities with a model as stylish and versatile as Laura and planning is already underway for the next shoot! Thanks Laura!

Laura is brilliant - a fun and lovely person and a great model who knows how to hold herself perfectly, and react instinctively to the camera and what looks good. She's also very patient as I wanted to try a couple of very specific ideas which took a while to get right!

Pre-comms were great and she arrived at the right place, early.

I'd love to work with her her again - says it all. Thanks Laura!

It is getting hard to think of superlatives to describe working with Laura that I've not used in previous references. This was our fourth shoot, although the previous two were a studio workshop and then a day we spent mentoring/shooting with a teenager who needed a confidence boost. So, having had an awesome time on our first solo shoot, I had been looking forward to this one for some time.

Laura approached me to ask if I would do a swimwear style shoot with her, something she had never done before and would probably not make a habit of doing, but she wanted to give it a try. I was obviously very flattered that she asked me, and did not hesitate for one second to say yes. We chose Brighton as a location and decided to make a day of it. I parked my car on the fringe of the town and Laura picked me and my equipment up - a great way of saving on the exorbitant parking fees in the town!

The shoot was everything I had hoped for and more. Laura absolutely smashed every look we tried on the day, including the denim jumpsuit I'd brought that she walked around in for several hours on a very hot and sunny day. And then we hit the beach!

Brighton beach is not the easiest to shoot on due to the stones and its steepness, but Laura was absolutely fantastic and really pushed herself despite the challenges. Both of us were working outside of our respective comfort zones but because of the mutual trust and friendship that we have developed the images look stunning, and Laura looks comfortable and at ease despite having had to 'perform' in front of a fair number of other beach users.

Laura is by far the best model I have shot with and we are already planning our next shoot(s) together. Book her now as she is always in a lot of demand. You will not be disappointed!

I worked with Laura recently and she is by far one of the best models I have worked with so far!

I had the pleasure of working with Laura on Thursday evening and after a lovely sunny day the moment we arrived at the location to do our shoot the clouds came I and the wind grew. Dispirit this set back the shoot went well, Laura did not need direction as we had discussed what Laura and I wished to achieve. I hope you enjoy the images we created on a dull cold Thursday evening.

I highly recommend this lovely young lady who stayed professional at all times despite being cold and windy. We are discussing our next shoot and plans are being put in place.

So having waited more than three months to shoot with Laura, our second chance to shoot together came just two weeks later. I have long admired the makeup work of Sister of Sinister, but all of her workshops were some distance from me. However, the moment I saw that she was holding one at Rochester Studios (still a 90 minute drive) I booked my place immediately because I saw that Laura was to be the model for the day.

Laura is very aware of my struggles with social anxiety, especially where groups of strangers are concerned, and very early on in the workshop she spotted me on my own and encouraged me to join her in the studio. This says everything about Laura's caring attitude and empathy.

I'm much more at home talking with models about shoots and creative ideas, than I am discussing cameras, etc. with other photographers, and I was very grateful when Laura and Kristina (aka Sister of Sinister) invited me into the makeup room right from the start and very kindly let me stay and watch each transformation take place. Watching Kristina work and talking to both of them was almost as much fun as the actual shooting itself.

During the actual shooting parts of the workshop, I was incredibly impressed with the patience that Laura showed throughout, as well as the way in which she greeted every photographer with a huge smile and took time to talk to us about ideas for poses. She takes direction very well, even if being asked to try things that are slightly out of her comfort zone, but is also just as comfortable when posing without direction.

If I lived nearer to Laura then I'd be booking her far more than I am able to - she is definitely one of my favourite models to shoot with. As it is, we have already planned our next shoot together - a little project we have both been hoping would happen for some time - and we are discussing ideas for future shoots.

Thank you Laura for two amazing shoots, I am very excited about working with you again in the future!

Laura is an amazing model to work with, she is such a pleasure. Not only is she a complete natural at it, she is also very professional.

I can’t wait to organise a duo shoot with her in the near future

I highly recommend working with Laura!

I first met Laura when I attended a charity modelling day that she organised. We hit it off straight away and pretty much immediately booked in to shoot together... more than three months later as it was the first date we both had free!

Comms leading up to the shoot were flawless - Laura and I chatted a lot online, and we came up with a plan that we were both very excited about. Come the morning of the shoot, and the weather forecast for the day was shocking. As I travelled into London on the train I messaged Laura with an alternative plan at a different location that would provide cover for wet weather shooting. Laura replied immediately, completely unphased by the late change of plan, and agreed to my proposals. If I'm perfectly honest, this did not come as any surprise to me - my conversations with Laura had already shown her to be the consummate professional, who would be able to adapt when required.

As it turned out, the weather did us a huge favour. The images we made together on that shoot are easily among my best so far (we just got a FPI for one of them) and with the benefit of hindsight I firmly believe they would not have been anywhere near as good if we had gone to Greenwich, as originally planned, instead of the Barbican estate, which is where we ended up.

Three months is a long time to wait for a shoot, especially as Laura had been right at the top of my secret "Want to shoot with in 2019" list. However, it was worth every single minute of the wait - Laura is an absolute joy to work with and be with. We probably spent as much time chatting as we did shooting, and to have someone as experienced as Laura show such enthusiasm for my images and for shooting with me meant more to me than I can express in words.

I really cannot recommend Laura highly enough. She is a stunning, talented model and also has a great inner beauty. Book her now - you will not be disappointed!

Loved working with Laura -

Fun, Hardworking and a Fantastic Model

Laura is a fantastic model! It was a long cold day, outdoors during a storm and we were at the end of Herne Bay Pier!

Laura worked enthusiastically and her spirits were high through-out!

It was a real honor to be part of this team. I was literally blown away by Laura (and everyone's else's) professionalism throughout the day!

I can't recommend Laura enough and hope to get to work with her again soon x
