I had the pleasure of working with Lauren twice to date — once for a one-to-one shoot and the second time as a model for a studio event she was hosting/tutoring. Lauren is warm and friendly with the most infectious enthusiasm when she sees a great shot. She's also incredible at hyping me up which is always a great confidence boost for any model — I felt like I could pose at my very best!

Her eye for aesthetics is on point and I absolutely loved the results from our shoot.

I highly recommended working with Lauren and would gladly shoot with her again! :)

Wow am I behind on references.

Lauren I am so sorry for not leaving this well deserved reference earlier!

Lauren contacted me on Instagram for a shoot to build her portfolio and I was more than happy to oblige as a great lover of her vibe of work and her vibe as a person.

She and her partner were lovely people to work with and she was very organised with her ideas and styling and came up with ideas quickly on the spot with what she'd asked me to bring styling wise.

Photos were delivered promptly also too

I hope we get to work together again soon 💜

As a novice in studio photography, I approached Lauren for tuition after attending one of her group studio shoots. I could not have wished for a better tutor. Pragmatic advice, excellent tips for working with models and such a relaxed atmosphere. I thoroughly enjoyed my session and learned so much. Looking forward the next time I can get in to her studio!

I was lucky enough to work with Lauren at her studio for a workshop she organised recently.

The workshop was beautifully put together and Lauren's attention to styling details / set design makes her work absolutely epic!

I've been absolutely blown away by the images Lauren has produced, she is such a talented photographer as well as a lovely person :)

Totally recommended by me and I look forward to making more epic images in the new year! xXx

I had a wonderful shoot with Lauren earlier this year. So much fun!

Lauren made a stunning 60’s/70’s set paired with some of my 60’s outfits… I was in love! The images are absolutely fantastic and some of my favourites to date.

Lauren is super lovely, friendly, professional and creates such a relaxed working atmosphere. I highly recommend Lauren and her gorgeous studio x

I shot with Lauren a couple of months ago at her studio when I was modelling on an event there,Lauren was an absolute pleasure to shoot with! I love her hard work towards shoots and the enthusiasm she had when putting together ideas and sets!

I was also lucky enough to watch Lauren work in action when teaching! She was such a brilliant and patient teacher and the photographers attending the event felt comfortable to ask her questions and for advice.

The shots Lauren took of me are fantastic!! Such beautiful ones! I really look forward to returning to Lauren’s studio and hopefully getting to shoot with her again! I would absolutely recommend both photographers and models to work with her!

Had the absolute pleasure of meeting and working with this beautiful creative lady at the boardroom studio where we planned to do some portraits and fashion looks in a few hours :)

I've admired this lady for a while and she did definitely did not disappoint! Absolutely lovely to me from the off, instantly comfortable (always happy hanging out with phil at his studio too so conversation flowed perfectly)

Arabella knew exactly what she wanted and her knowledge of lighting was amazing! We experimented with natural light first creating some ethereal portraits then we moved on to playing with the wind machine which gave us a great laugh through out the shoot :)

We finished with some gels which I have never done before so I was super grateful arabella loved to experiment just as much as me! :)

Arabella is a beautiful soul inside and out so thankful I got to work with her!

Highly recommend to any model

Thank you arabella

This was my second shoot with Arabella and I am always blown away by how skilled she is. She really knows how lighting works and what composition to go for with an image. Her editing just adds to the image and makes you feel beautiful. Never over edited just beautiful. She is easy to get along with and chat with. I feel extremely lucky to work with her and I would highly recommend working with her. Thanks Lovely!

I had the opportunity to shoot with Arabella (as a photographer) during the Lensmaidens meet at The Boardroom in Derby.

Arabella is not only a wonderful model, but also an incredible photographer. She was patient, she gave great direction, she repeatedly showed me the back of the camera to see what we were shooting, and she had so many fabulous ideas.

I shot duo with Nico to begin with, and then we both shot a solo set with Arabella, followed by a second solo set later in the morning. Arabella was great working with Nico and I together, she has a great understanding of lighting and posing (I guess being a model helps!) and she got some beautiful images of us together.

I would gladly work with Arabella again and again and again after my experience. She's kind, thoughtful, softly spoken but also funny and brilliantly down to earth.

I can't recommend her enough - Thank you, Arabella!

Got to work with Arabella again recently and the shots she got of me were beautiful. Her use of light and framing was totally divine and I can't wait to work together again!

Worked with Arabella at one of the lensmaidens meet ups and absolutely loved it! She combines her modelling knowledge with a great eye to pick out perfect tones, lighting and create a lovely mood! I hope I get to work with this lady again in the future too and look forward to seeing her next round of creations!

This was my first time working with Arabella and I am so pleased we got to work together! She is such a lovely person, down to earth and we just got on really well. I really enjoyed modelling for her with flowers in her garden and some boudoir. She is really creative and just a joy to work with. I loved working with her and I would highly recommend working with her! I hope to work with her again soon. Thanks lovely x

Had my first shoot with Arabella today and what a wonderful experience it was. Very knowlegeable and a great eye for detail. Very friendly with a great sense of humour, even taught me a few things about lighting, much appreciated. Highly recommended and i look forward to working with her again.

Belle Eve

I love working with Arabella, she is very calm, relaxed and puts you at great ease. Though she doesn't seem to realise it Arabella is one of the best photographers I have worked with. She knows exactly what she wants to create and seems to nail it every time.

Plus she is just an amazing editor too! What more could you ask for!?

I highly recommend working with this wonderful photographer. I cant wait until next time.

Much love,

Eve

Yesterday was our first time having Arabella in our studio. She was so easy to get on with and lovely to chat to about her work whilst setting up. We are looking forward to seeing her again soon, either as a photographer or a model, especially as we are such a short journey away from her! She made herself at home and used the studio space and equipment well. She is more than welcome to come back at any time!

Had an absolutely lovely shoot with Arabella today!

Really friendly, talkative and easy to get along with and SUCH a good photographer! She has a brilliant eye for angles and lighting and made sure I was comfortable at all times. I've already seen some of the images and I'm really pleased – would highly recommend this talented photographer and I hope to work with her again in the future. Thank you Arabella!

my second shoot with this very talented young lady. Despite her not 'being a photographer' as often as she would like, she never fails to amaze me! Its incredible to see what she can produce in her own home. This shoot was a one light set up and I was blown away by what she achieved with it. Don't take any notice of the few references to date, she is quite simply fabulous

I was able to work with the amazingly talented Arabella on her recent tour to Devon! We had discussed ideas/props etc before I arrived at Mr Dave's studio, and I love the results (considering one pic is now my avatar!).

Arabella is such a great person to work with, we had lots of laughs, put the world to rights and enjoyed a little bit of cake! I hope to meet/work with her again some day, 100000% recommended.

Not only is Arabella a fab model, she's a fab photographer too! I got the chance to work with her at her home studio yesterday and she's lovely to work with! :)

She's chatty, friendly and one of the nicest people you could meet! We decided to shoot a style that was quite new for me, which was fun! She was extremely helpful with posing idea's (In between all the laughing! :P) angles etc, she really knows her stuff!!

Had such a laugh working with her :D Definitely hope to work with her again in the future and highly recommend her to all! :) x
