I had a most rewarding shoot with Lily at Saracen House Studio.

Lily is a real gem to work with, needs little or no direction in addition to having a very expressive face and a delightfully natural figure.

I am sincerely hoping that I will have the honour to work with this young lady again but meanwhile must thoroughly recommend Lily to you all.

Thanks, Lily, here's looking forward to the next time.

I had the pleasure of working with Lily for the first time this morning. I don't know why it's taken me so long to get around to working with her but it was definitely worth the wait.

We had an early start at the fabulous Far Forest studio. Despite the early hour, Lily was up and ready and we were soon creating some amazing images.

She is a lovely lady. Great looks, stunning figure and a fantastic model. Her posing is top quality and she is a real pleasure to work with.

Thank you Lily for a lovely Saturday morning. Look forward to working with you again in the near future.

I had the good fortune to work with Lily for the first time at her Model Day at Far Forest Studio in Worcestershire. She is a highly experienced and truly exceptional model who is able to pose effortlessly to create natural and stunning shapes. A great conversationalist with a wonderful personality; she is a pleasure to work with and gives great feedback to the photographer throughout the shoot. Thank you Lily, for a most enjoyable shoot and I hope that we will have the opportunity to work together again in the future. Very highly recommended.

I had the pleasure to work with Lily on Monday and it's a long time I was looking her work. I finally had the opportunity to work with her and I have to say that this have been quiet a shock for me ... why ? Because she is even more beautiful than you think, she is a totally profesionnal and on top of this one of the most adorable person I have meet in this industry. She is just 'magical' to work with and she had boost my confidence and boost my inspiration. She even push me out of my confort zone,for the right reason, and get me to do some superbe images ... Like few others photographer below, I wish I could work with her so much more ...

She is like a 'Muse'for a photographer. I have loved every second of this shoot and I'm totally in Love of the pictures she let me produce.

In this world of modelling she is a 'precious Diamond'.

Anyone who could work with this truly adorable Muse have to do it

Probably my best shoot ever :-)

My photography soul love you to the moon and back

a million thanks Lily :-)

I had hoped to book Lily in the new year but my shoot got cancelled and by chance Lily was avalible so i booked her straight away.

Lily is such a lovely person to work with she has to be one of the nicest models i have worked with to date.

You can see why she's widely published and recently in playboy Portugal.

Lily is stunning with a lovely slim figure and even shooting for 4 hrs that didn't seem enough.

I realy enjoyed my shoot with Lily she is a top model and i got some realy great images from in and outdoors.

Do i recommend Lily?😲..Yes i do i feel very lucky for getting the chance to work with such a great model.

I would love to work with Lily again and hopefully that wont be too far away.

Thanks Ian x 😁

Thank you so much Lily for an awesome shoot, I'm so pleased to have worked with you!!

Well this was my first time working with Lily, I have loved her work for ages, and realising I'm not too far away, got in touch for a shoot. I'm so pleased I did, Lily is a beautiful soul, both her appearance and nature, and felt so relaxed in her company.

I usually plan to shoot at a location, near the model, but this time, me and Lily went with the flow, and explored the areas around her town, and Lily was so creative, I happily followed her idea's, we created some really beautiful images too.

Having only worked with her once, I can honestly highly recommend her, can't wait to work with her again, and I'm so pleased I do hobby, where I get to meet people like her!! :)

Well, I have to say that was a thoroughly enjoyable shoot with Lily.

Her experience and ability shine through. If you add her intelligence and enthusiasm then you have an immensely capable model.

She works hard, and helps to drive the shoot in order to achieve the image.

She is an impressive model and I happily recommend her to everyone.

Lily is not only an incredible model but she is as lovely a person as you could ever meet, I would work with Lily every day if I could!

I'm not sure how many shoots I’ve had with Lilly, suffice to say it’s quite a few. So why do I keep coming back, the answer is simple. Lilly, apart from being a totally amazing beautiful model, probably the best model I’ve ever had the honour of working with, has the ability to always find something new and different to add to the shoot.

She sees the variety of colours and shades in every location, an artistic talent that allows her to exploit everything a location has to offer. Lilly is far more than a model. Quite often I'm sure she’s on the wrong side of the camera!

Apart from all that Lilly is a lovely person to be with and work with. After all these shoots I proud to call her my friend. Thank you so much Lilly, another amazing shoot and of course fantastic pictures.

Well what can I say about Lily and our shoot today ?

Epic is a word I’d use , Astounding, breathtaking , I could go on and on .

This was a rescheduled shoot at short notice , pre shoot comms were spot on and we agreed a mood board and items to shoot in . Lily is staggering in many ways not just as a model , in which I would go as far to say she’s the most naturally beautiful model I’ve seen but as a person too , the 4 hrs flew by and not only did we shoot set after set in her apartment and in the grounds but she makes a mean cup of coffee and tea and treated me to lunch too :))

A real jem to work with and if you look at the quality of her work you ll see what I mean .

Whether you’re a beginner or a pro Lily is exceptional and you ll come away with scores out outstanding shots - I certainly did , would recommend her so highly that if this was Spinal Tap , Lily’s an 11 !!

Thanks again for the shoot and already looking forward to working with you again :)

Just got back from the Muse Model Event in Spain yesterday which Lily had helped in part to create. I had jumped at the chance when Lily first told me about it as I had made a plan to shoot more on location during 2018 and of course I'd already shot with Lily during one of her Hacienda model days.

The event was extremely well thought out and run. Things didn't feel rushed or that you were competing against the other photographers on the trip. In fact everyone gelled really well together from the start so that when you were shooting with the models it felt like you were already working with friends rather than a model so that the creativity from both the models and the photographers was producing awesome results straight away. The photographers on this trip covered a range of styles both in photography and post processing, but all were happy to give tips to one another or ask questions without feeling that their way of doing things was any less or more than the other photographers. Everytime we sat down for meals everyone was always buzzing from the results they had gotten and were looking forward to seeing how the others had done.

I think Lily and Matt's aim was to have just that happen on this event - be creative. I've made friends on this event from models to photographers so hopefully I'll get to work with the models again in the future and there's already plans to meet up with a London based photographer from the group for a drink or two. I'd highly recommend Lily, Matt and the Muse Model team as an event that you should look into when they do future events. The chef they had was also secret weapon in that you were trying to remember to take pictures of the food too as it looked great, but would have already eaten it because it smelt and tasted so good.

Looking forward to hopefully going on future events when they do them.

Lily and I got together for a shoot at a model day at Hacienda Studio. This was the first time I worked with Lily and it was an absolute pleasure.

Lily has a great look, great personality and is very professional; she is very fluid in her poses and moves from one to the next with ease. Every time I was thinking of a specific pose she moved into it before I said anything (spooky).

Highly recommended and I would love to work with her again in the future.

The best of the best. Lily is the kind of model who will guarantee any photographer their best photos. We shot art nude in an old forest, with lots of fallen trees, aiming for an evening golden hour that only materialised for moments at a time. Everywhere we went Lily found amazing poses straight away, and every time a hint of interesting light appeared she was instantly in the best places to catch it. She's exceptionally efficient and super-professional, her poses are glorious and her range of intense, moody expressions just wonderful. Add that to the fact she's a lovely person to hang around with for a few hours and it's difficult to think of any ways she could be closer to the perfect model. Can't quite believe my luck that she's moved in down the road in Worcester. And can't wait to shoot with Lily again!!

Arranged a last minute shoot with Lily, using the Malvern Hills as our backdrop on a day that turned out to be the last of the Summer heat wave. What a shoot it was. Wonderful weather, wonderful views, wonderful model, wonderful company. Quite literally one of my best shoots ever. Need to find an excuse to return to Worcester soon. If you haven't shot with Lily yet, what are you waiting for!!

This was my first one with Lily and whenever possible not my last one!! Usually with my long term planning lots of time between the first encounter (actually Lily had me on her 'want to work with you list) and the now executed 2 day shooting, so we finally met in the arrival hall of Geneva Airport.

It was like greeting an old friend after a long time and this was the feeling throughout our long week-end.

To cut it short, can I recommend her?

YES!!

Will I shoot with her again?

Yes

She's very easy going, a pleasant person on and off the set, has a couple 'Duracells' installed and goes for the image one wants! Great posing from her side but also very willing to take directions or repeat things several times!

Despite the large amount of shootings in her past she's still with the shooting that you have at that day and very dedicated to achieve the best possible results!

And our cats miss her already, she was giving them endless cuddles:-)

So now only one task left, select and publish, but where to start?

The ones that should be binned are to few, so it will come to a lengthy screening process.

So with her big smile, her ideas and her creative input it's a pure delight to work with!

Versatile from Art nude to glamour magazines in a split second, give her a new theme and she rocks the show!

I have tried that actually and the surprise was definitively on my side!!

Fun, looks, dedication and presence, Lily is a big bag full of all of this.

And when she took the phone out to shoot images from the back of my cam and later from the screen at home I was pretty sure she liked the images too!

Hopefully our planned one for next year will come true, I'm very much looking forward after such a very positive experience with the last shooting.

Another great shoot with Lily, taking advantage of the glorious weather, the shoot was mainly on location in a beautiful park close to my studio. The shoot was very relaxed and chilled, perfectly executed. Lily had a huge wardrobe to choose from, we created several sets and created some fantastic images both in the studio and on location at a local park.

Lily is an awesome model to work with, she is totally professional, well organized, creative, dedicated, and hard working with a tremendous knowledge from both sides of the camera which ensures top quality images are always achieved.

Having worked with Lily a number of times, we have established a great working relationship of trust and respect allowing the shoot to flow, productive but lots of laughs and chat.

This is a model that every photographer should work with. You will certainly not be disappointed, looking forward to our next shoot.

Had another awesome shoot today with Lily at my home studio in Cheltenham. Pre-shoot communications were excellent, on route to the shoot, she regularly informed of her arrival time. Lily arrived on time, her make-up was applied to a very high standard her hair was immaculate.

Lily never fails to amaze me with new poses & ideas to obtain great images. She is a very professional and dedicated model, she is very approachable and easy to communicate with. Makes the shoot so relaxed and capturing images so easy.

Her profound sense of humour, ensures many laughs and a fun shoot, but always creating awesome images. Our shoot was chilled, fun but very productive, quality rather than quantity, feel we work so well together. Looking forward to our next shoot.

Thoroughly recommend Lily to all levels of photographer, you will not be disappointed.

When Lily's guest model at the Hacienda appeared, I jumped at the chance to work with her. I'd seen Lily's work with other photographers on her instagram and PP account so it was a no brainer to see if I could book on to one of the times during her weekend there. Thankfully I was able to and it was a few months wait, but today proved to be worth the wait. Working with Lily was super chilled, creatively rewarding and you know a model is happy with pictures if they are getting their phone out to get some "off the laptop" images. We shot some video as well for a possible GS youtube video after each outfit and it was great to get feed back from Lily both on images and footage we'd shot.

Highly recommended from me and hope I get to work with her again in the future on other projects.
