After a third shoot in as many days I reflected on my shoots with Lauren over the past few weeks. She is quite simply an amazing model and person. She is capable of producing a huge variety of images from cute little girl to sexy siren, from gothic to vintage and from pent up anger to comic with ease. She is adventurous and give her rocks to climb and she will, happy to be in water, outdoors or inside; she has good balance and strength and will quite happily lie along a narrow gate rail or on the edge of a high wall. She is so flexible about arrangements and we shot at dawn, the middle of the day when very hot and at midnight. I have enjoyed working with her tremendously and we have come to an agreement that she will be our "main model" and we have booked several shoots in the rest of this year. Please do not let that deter you from booking her as you will be fabulously rewarded by having a talented creative model with a great personality.

She will provide a great input to all shoots and challenge you too. I had the "chair challenge" and am still waiting to see if I have passed! Lauren has allowed me to experiment and discuss unusual ideas and helped e develop my own skills. Fantastic ideas seem to tumble out of her brain incessantly

She is both an amazing model and person who I appreciate having as a great friend and feel privileged to shoot with her knowing she will produce a wide variety of high quality images an no two shoots are ever the same.

Thank you x

This shoot and indeed the whole day was one of the most memorable days I have experienced. The shoot was like no other I have experienced. It was different because Lauren and I spent the morning chatting about photography and life in general. I found Lauren and I have many similar ideas and ambitions with photography and it was special to bounce ideas off each other and feel like kindred spirits. It is rare to have this sort of time just to explore and it undoubtedly helped contribute to the shoot which followed. I got to know Lauren very well and quite simply she is a lovely caring human being, full of passion for her work and love of life. Our views coincided a lot which generates energy in itself.

After the previous day when she modelled long evening gowns, this was to be "Lauren's day" where she made the decisions.

The actual shoot, when we got around to it was divided into two sessions. The first was a challenge set by Lauren to me as a photographer to take different photos of her with a chair and a prop of my choice. I enjoyed this immensely and explored a variety of moods and concepts, some of which were somewhat dark. Throughout this session Lauren responded quite brilliantly creating superb images with a depth of expression that was astounding. Not all shots worked as you would expect, but those that did were fabulous and are a fine testament to her intelligence, empathy and creativity as a model. She is a one in a million! The second part of the shoot was late at night after a lovely Thai meal. Lauren had chosen to wear a fabulous black cat suit for the evening and we wondered around a virtually deserted town taking photos all over the place and some were simply of Lauren's shadow. It is something quite special when you are not constrained by a time limit on a shoot and feeling a little rushed. It was a lovely relaxed atmosphere and a superb day. I feel that we have a good bond and some chemistry which will allow us to explore genres and concepts effectively. In fact I feel privileged to have made a very good friend for life from the shoots. I value her ideas and opinions immensely as she contributes so much to a shoot. She is a gifted and talented model without doubt, but more importantly she is a lovely warm caring human being. She paid me the honour of asking me to be her main photographer which humbled me no end, but I have insisted she experiences other togs as they will add to her skill set; so please book her if you like creative intelligent models and give her some scope to show her talents as you will be richly rewarded. For my part I am privileged to have her as my main model for our clothes for cots for tots project (though even Lauren cannot model sizes 14 to 24!)

Thank you for a stimulating shoot that was different Lauren and an utterly delightful day

Awesome shoot with a fabulous dedicated creative model !!

The plan was to do a dawn shoot of long evening dresses with Lauren on the Cobb at Lyme Regis which meant being ready to leave at 4am. lauren was up and ready waiting on the dot (I was late due to a traffic accident). Subsequent road closures did not help but we made it just after sunrise.

Lauren showed an amazing creativity throughout the shoot, not just in her selection of places to pose but the style she created. It was fabulous to bounce ideas back and forth as the shoot progressed. At times she was on fire and her ability to play with the dresses and transform them into different shapes and styles was truly amazing. Ideas seem to come tumbling out of her brain without a pause. I said I did not want run of the mill fashion poses and images and she certainly provided a magnificent collection of images with style and originality The added bonus is that she is very easy to get on with and it's just an awesome blast shooting with her. Lauren is an extremely talented model who is very intelligent and quickly tunes in to what is needed. She is fascinating to talk to and conversation always flows. I am thrilled with the fabulous images she has produced the result of a creative and inspirational model shining throughout.

I would give Lauren my highest recommendation and guarantee that if you book her, you will have an amazing experience

I had a second shoot with Lauren last week. The first one had gone superbly well and this was no different. I picked her up from a local station and set off for a fashion shoot in and around nearby locations including wheat fields, riverside and a 14th century monastic stone barn. It was the hottest day of the year so far with temperatures well in to the thirties.

Lauren is such an enthusiastic model who has a passion for what she is doing. She prepares herself well and gives careful consideration to the shoot in advance. She likes to bring a little something different to each shoot and keep everything fresh, which is hugely appreciated. It is great credit to her that she worked a long shoot on an extremely hot day and maintained a high level of energy throughout, when many would have wilted. Throughout the shoot Lauren was highly involved coming up with many creative ideas for each outfit and discussing them in advance. This input was extremely helpful and appreciated and it lead to a synthesis of both our ideas which resulted in a wide range of concepts and image styles. Lauren is intelligent and extremely observant and quickly spots features we can make use of with great effect. She is totally switched on and her brain is always chock a block full of so many interesting ideas. Lauren is extremely versatile and can create a variety of moods and styles with ease and this skill should not be underestimated. She is far from being a “one trick pony” and loves to use structures to create unusual shapes and angles with a flow and strength.

The shoot was a tremendous success due to her skill and enthusiasm, but there is another important aspect to Lauren that helps achieve success and that is her fabulous personality. She is so easy to get on with and is interesting to talk to. She is very intelligent and aware with a creative mind and a passion to succeed at whatever she does. We had a break for lunch which we were both happy to go on for some time due to the heat and the conversation flowed on a wide range of topics. This was both stimulating and fascinating. The same applies to the journey home where Lauren demonstrated once again her cherry eating skill and capacity. If cherry eating was an Olympic sport, she would be a shoe in for Gold. We had a bundle of laughs throughout the day and shoots like this are very special and enjoyable.

A message to any tog who reads this is that you cannot go wrong if you book a shoot with Lauren, she is fabulous and will make the occasion thoroughly enjoyable. I have already booked a 3rd shoot at dawn next week and am looking forward to it immensely. I feel that as well as having discovered a highly talented person, I have made a good friend, so a big thank you to yourself Lauren for the massive and enjoyable contribution you have made in the last 2 shoots.

What a great model, creative, hard working, intelligent, fun, the list goes on. Had a delightful afternoon shooting Lauren, haven't even downloaded the cards yet but the best shots of the day came from an idea Lauren threw in to the mix and looking forward to being able to edit them when I'm back in front of a computer.

If you are considering booking her then just do it and treat her well, she is one of the good people in life.

Wow! Just had my first ever shoot with Lauren and it was an absolute blast! What a fabulous young model! Punctual, organised, talented, skilled, inventive, creative, Lauren is a delight to shoot with. She is great fun and as it was a long fashion shoot we had 2 or 3 mini breaks in which we had very interesting chats. Lauren is confident and quite capable of posing to achieve moods and looks required. I encouraged her to have a large creative role in the shoot and she came up with excellent ideas which were used. She also is willing to try out various ideas and is not phased if they do not succeed. It was a long shoot and what particularly impressed me was, at the end, her creativity and energy had not dropped one little bit. We stopped for a meal afterwards and Lauren is a fascinating person to talk with and has super positivity. I really enjoyed this shoot a lot and would recommend Lauren extremely highly to everyone. She thoroughly enjoys her modelling and this shows throughout her work, I have had a brief look at her images and they are very good so am delighted with the result. Thank you so much Lauren for an great day and am looking forward to a second shoot loads even if you did eat all the cherries!!

Showed up bang on time and kitted out exactly as discussed. Time flew by, such a relaxed and thoughtful model who can both self pose and be instructed. Not afraid to add her own ideas into the mix and to try anything in the name of the image.

Would highly recommend Lauren to anybody thinking of shooting with her and will certainly be looking to shoot again with her.

Lovely studio shoot with Lauren! We tried lots of different sets and made excellent progress. Lauren has a great look, is a delight to shoot with I enjoyed our shoot immensely and very happy to recommend. Thanks Lauren :-)

Neil S R

Brilliant! First time out for me since before my Son's accident and this lovely young lady made it such a great day!

Could both take direction and pose without help. Cheerful, bubbly and fun. Came prepared with lots of outfits, although due to weather we didn't get through them all.

Would I recommend? Oh yes!

Already talking about another booking once we have some better weather for what we have in mind.

I had the pleasure of talking and meeting this young model Easter Sunday for a Mechanic type photoshoot. She was very down to earth and really easy to talk and laugh with. She showed willingness and enthusiasm. I hope to work with you again in the near future xx

Another weekend and another awesome shoot with Lauren. On Easter Sunday we had arranged an all day garage shoot involving cars, bikes and tools. Lauren was well organised, enthusiastic and modeled excellently all day. I love the images and would highly recommend Lauren for both studio and location shoots.

I had my first "proper" shoot with Lauren on Sunday. We had arranged for a reasonably short shoot covering a number of looks from fashion through to lingerie.

Lauren poses well, takes direction very well and is a pleasure to work with. I'm really happy with the results and hope to arrange another shoot soon.

Highly recommended.

Lauren took a last minute TF casting and walked miles in the rain to get there on time! Professional, quirky and great to photograph. I hope to work with her again soon on some more imaginative projects. Highly recommend working with Lauren book her, you wont be disappointed.

I unexpectedly had the chance to work with Lauren today as she was booked to work with Rich (RTPhotographic); I happened to be at the studio and happened to have my camera with me ;)

5 minutes may well turn out to be my shortest shoot of 2018 but I've still got some great results thanks to Lauren's attitude and posing.

Definitely recommended and I hope to arrange a "proper" shoot with Lauren soon.

I've known Lauren for a while now and I must say she is one of the coolest and most open-minded models I have ever met. She sticks to her word, is dependable, keen, determined and supportive. She is very expressive in front of a camera with some great, unique poses. As well HOT as hell she is extremely attractive, face, body and soul. I fully recommend booking Lauren for a photoshoot. She won't let you down and you'll achieve some great work with her.

Treat her well people.
