Had an awesome shoot with Mara recently, good communication setting up the shoot and Mara turned up on time and eager to start creating. We spent a good half a day in studio and Mara worked tirelessly to deliver awesome images, full of ideas and determined to nail each shot I had planned.

Mara was great fun and professional, excited to create great images even roping her partner in for one shot as a prop to help make the shot work.

Highly recommended, I will definitely be working with Mara again.

Great shoot with Mara. An absolute delight to work with.

Arrived with plenty of outfits & ideas. None of my suggestions were too much trouble.

Hope we can work together again some time.

Had the distinct pleasure of shooting with Mara today and it really was a pleasure.

She was waiting right on time for her pick up and was chatty from the outset. She brought lots of outfits and helped with posing ideas.

As well as a stunning model, she is a lovely person and made the shoot very comfortable and that enabled us to get some wonderful images.

Thank you Mara, you were a joy to work with.

Fully recommend her to both professional and amateur photographers.

Mara worked with me in an ancient Bluebell wood this morning and it was a complete delight. She worked out very quickly what type to mood and shot I was after and relaxed into the session and worked very hard. Even got over a spider moment! Thank you, I'd highly recommend this bubbly beautiful women.

I worked with Mara today for the first time and she was amazing. She has a fantastic alternative look; she listened to everything I talked about in regards to what I wanted to create and positively added to the shoot. The shots created were made even better by her specifically being the model. There is no doubt in my mind that I will work with her again.

If you need a model that needs little direction in posing and is a joy to chat to, then you won't be disappointed with Mara at all. Thank you again for today Mara. x

What to say about Mara? She is an absolutely joy to shoot with, I cannot recommend her enough. Fabulous!

Despite my having previously postponed our shoot at short notice, Mara was charming and gracious and treated me like an old friend, thank you Mara, for your kindness. Her looks are a heady mixture of French and Italian and indeed it's an intoxicating look. Mara is even more beautiful in reality than her photos, she is one of those naturally beautiful women who just capture one's imagination.

Although, we shot on a cold March day with no heating, Mara didn't complain once and her posing was imaginative and natural, I can't thank her enough.

I highly recommend you to book Mara as soon as possible, she's an absolute star. Don't miss the chance!

Met Mara at a social event, a week later we were shooting. Call it chemistry. We really clicked and captured some awesome images. Still trying to pick my favorites, and had to add her to my top 5 list.

Mara is a stunningly beautiful lady and a complete joy to work with, flows from pose to pose with little lead. The shoot was complete chatty laugh from start to finish. Can't wait to do it again, maybe on location when it's a little warmer. No hesitation to give Mara the very highest recommendation. XXX Mara untill our next shoot.

Mara was recommended by my good friend ArtHeart. We worked together in Devon. It was cold, grey and rainy. This were not the best circumstances for an outdoor shoot. We managed. Mara braved the cold and the rain and fully motivated she walked, danced and ran barefoot on the road. In between and afterwards we did some great portrait sessions with fabrics and behind windows.

My friend ArtHeart was right. Mara is a lovely person and a very talented model. Not only for art-nudes, but also for portraits. If anyone looks for a model to make timeless portraits with, just ask Mara. So classic and subdued, a natural beauty.

Already promised each other to do another shoot in the near future.

Another engagement with Mara which was nothing short of fantastic, This model is outstanding and has such a beautiful demeanour.

Her understanding of nude work is up there with the best and her willingness to go that extra mile is something to behold.

I recommend her highly and urge all photographers to work with Mara. You won't find a more dedicated girl ...she's exceptional from every aspect.

Sean Hepburn

Shooting with Mara is an absolute pleasure, her half Italian half French style and look is something very different from the norm and she is perfect for that 'classic' shot.

When it comes to poses, Mara need no direction, they just flow...endlessly. However, if you do want a particular look/pose, you just have to ask and it appears without effort. A natural born model and the camera loves her!!

I can't wait to work with Mara again, when we have more time booked, I just know it will produce fantastic work!

Most definitely recommended!!!

ArtHeart

Mara is one of those models you feel glad to have met even before you pick up a camera.

We spent a long day shooting something which is special..

"I cant dance" she revealed... minutes later she was dancing.. "I can't act" yet a few more minutes she was acting and provided something worthy of an Oscar!

Mara is pure talent from head to toe and a woman who gives every part of her soul in order to get that shot for you.

Obviously beautiful as her images on PP show but just scratch the surface and you will find she has a soul which is brimming with enthusiasm and love for what she does.

I felt her infectious smile bring out the best in me whilst she filled my humble studio with light.

In short if you want the definition of joie de vivre shoot her!

Purple Port is richer for having such a wonderful model in the membership and I recommend her sky highly.

Mara was a fantastic model. We met the day before the shoot to discuss the images we were looking for and i asked her to bring accessories to stylise the shoot. She turned up today on time with some great accessories. She was great fun and understood exactly what i wanted with regards poses and the energy i was aiming for for each shot. Would highly recommend her as a model and i hope to work with her again.

It's not the first time a capture Mara throught my lens, she is stunnig as model and as a person, she can be what you want, you only have to show here, or tell her what you need, and you will be amazed! She has a great modeling experience from outside portugal, it can be seen, when you shoot her.

I had a fantastic shoot with Mara this week. Mara is new to the UK and to Purpleport but not new to modelling. She has a natural Mediterranean beauty and came prepared with immaculate hair and make-up. Her hair is a particular feature, long, thick and a beautiful mid brown/auburn colour. She is happy to take direction but can improvise too and is very comfortable in front of the camera. She is also a lovely person, cheerful, relaxed and friendly which made the shoot even more enjoyable.

On this occasion I hired a day use room to focus on boudoir. Unfortunately the room was quite small and the natural light affected by a building opposite. All this means that I will need to shoot with Mara again - any excuse because I would shoot with her every week if I could. Unhesitatingly recommended. A future star of this site if she chooses.

I worked with Mara in Portugal ad found her to be an amazing model and very easy to work with. She gives 100% all the time and I'm really happy with the results! I would recommend her to anyone!
