I worked with Maria for the second time yesterday - perfect in every way - super communications, arrived on time fully prepared, had lots of ideas and delivered so many great shots I now have editing overload, and just a joy to be with - too good

It was great to shoot again with Maria. Maria is a lovely person with a super attitude to her modelling. She enjoys exploring artistic and creative ideas so we get on very well shooting together. We always get results that we are pleased with. Very happy to recommend Maria.

Maria was the model for last nights Group Night at the Studio and she managed to give everyone 3 completely different looks to shoot.

She worked hard and was a pleasure to have in the studio, fun and entertaining.

I look forward to the next time I work with her.

Thanks Maria.

Highly recommended.

Had my first shoot with Maria last week and I would highly recommend her.

Great personality and very enthusiastic with a positive approach to the shoot.

I will hopefully be working with Maria again soon.

Thanks for a fun shoot Maria.

I shot with Maria a second & third time this year..

For both times she arrived on time as arranged. Full of energy and ready to shoot. After our first 1-on-1 shoot it was like meeting up with a friend and having a good laugh and snapping some photos in between.

Maria is great to work with and a real down to earth person. She's versatile, her posing is excellent and so natural, as is her expressions.

Definitely work with her if you're in two minds - you will not regret it at all, I promise you!!

Thanks for being awesome Maria!! :)

I had another shoot with Maria today, and have had several previously over the last few years as well.

Maria is just first class. Communication and ideas are spot on. She has arrived for every shoot organised and with what is needed for the shoot in question.

Maria is a very funny enthuastic girl, and every shoot has been a blast.

She delivers powerful images time and time again and is simply a delight to work with.

Already talking about the next one!

Highly recommended.

I'm not quite sure where to start!

Had a fantastic shoot with Maria yesterday at Juice Photographic Studio.

Pre-shoot comm's were brilliant. We agreed the themes and ideas, and she delivered in every way possible.

Great fun to shoot, and helped me get exactly what I wanted in terms of images.

Amazingly versatile and hard working. thoroughly recommended.

Thank you Maria. Will shoot again soon.

Clearly the shoot the other day went well and today I was lucky enough to spend the whole day shooting. Weather was against us, freezing cold and rain wasn't our friend but we managed some great shots, all very relaxed.

Studio in the afternoon and just played with ideas, practiced lighting and just experimented. Proper quality day, Maria is so incredibly patient and as I said previously, has so many looks she carries off perfectly.

And ...gonna shoot again :-)

What can I say about this loverly young lady that has not already been said, she is a real life human sized Chameleon, so versatile it’s unbelievable. Took everything in her stride, posed well and took direction with ease. Can’t wait for our next shoot ☺️

Maria was so easy to work with. Great at taking direction and very easy going. We had a good laugh and got some great shots but then I don't think you can get a bad one of this model. Hope to shoot much more with her!

Pete Inman

I met Maria at a small group shoot; Well, what an amazingly lovely person, versatile model and just a pleasure to be around. Very patient, takes direction and poses independently too.

So many different looks she can carry off with ease, just fantastic.

Would I shoot again ? Oh yes !

Gideon

I shot with Maria at a small group shoot. This was the first time that I had shot with her but it certainly wont be the last.

Maria is thoroughly professional but manages to blend this with a wonderful sense of humour. She responds to suggestions and is also capable of posing without direction.

Her pre-shoot communications were excellent throughout.

Thanks for all your hard work Maria and thanks for the fun that you brought to the shoot. I'll be in touch next year! x

I worked with Maria for the first time yesterday after seeing some smashing work from her and hearing reliable rave reviews. So I was looking forward very much to a shoot with her and the whole session was superb. Maria is a multi-talented young lady who delivers a quite tremendous look - mixed with a bubbly positive personality - the whole experience is unmissable and I am hoping to tempt her back again very soon

I have had the pleasure of shooting Maria on several occasions now, and she is just amazing to work with. She is so adaptable, professional and fun to be with. She works hard and delivers outstanding images.

A must for any photographer. Highly recommended.

Absolutely lovely girl with winning looks and personality to match, creative and intelligent. Good attitude to work and was a pleasure to be around all day. We had a great time. Thoroughly recommended.

My shoot with Maria was perfect, great pre comms, great professionalism on the shoot and had some great ideas and input into the shoot. She took direction perfectly when needed and was a dream to work with, she even had a bacon butty and tea for me when i arrived (Courtesy of her mum)

100% recommend and cant wait to shoot with her again soon

This is the third time I’ve shot with Maria and the third time I’ve been very impressed. She had loads of ideas for this shoot and was incredibly professional. Shot in one of our local forests, the theme was ‘horror’. To say she pulled off the look in a stunning way is an understatement.

If you want a fun shoot with a great model who knows exactly what she wants to achieve, then Maria is perfect. Highly highly recommended.

Maria came to the studio for a mix of beauty and fashion with MUA. As soon as we met I felt that Maria would be a really easy person to work with - and she was and more. Excellent work rate and attitude trying everything I threw at her so we came away with awesome shots.

Highly recommended for a model with great pre communication, fun to work with and willingness to get the shot and personally would really like to work with Maria again.

Maria & I had shot briefly on a group shoot before but hadn't got many shots from it so we decided to book a 1-on-1 shoot for the 27th August.

Maria arrived with her hair, makeup & nails done to perfection and was ready to go straight away - but like always: I thought we'd have a coffee & a chat first so I wasn't some stranger pointing a camera in her face (The shots are always better when you know a bit about someone, and vise versa) :)

We took some shots in a coffee shop to start with, then headed out to the seafront where we grabbed some shots under the pier & between some beach huts then some in town down an alley that had some beautiful light!

We produced some stunning shots that day! (Some of my best I'd say!)

By the end of the day it was like shooting with an old friend, we had a real chilled and productive shoot!

I'd highly recommend working with Maria..

Thank you for an awesome shoot! I look forward to the next one :)
