I had a very enjoyable second shoot with Maria at her home Garden studio which is furnished Beautifully and with great taste.

Attention to detail is high with communication and pre planning with good suggestions of wardrobe and a definite sprinkling of class.

Im very happy to recommend once again as a good Model to work with.

I had a very enjoyable first shoot recently with Maria at a location share on a large Heritage site.

Pre-comms were good with Images of costumes instantly available, she was very helpful with timings and prompt on arrival. A good listener with plenty of smiles and great with suggestions all contributing to what I considered a creative 2 hours.

Happy to shoot again and recommended.

Met Maria on same group shoot at GoldsteamAlan's reference. This was at Wortley Forge on 9thApril 2022. Great shoot, my first at Wortley Forge and first with Maria. I only had a short time with Maria, as she had been brought along by Alan, and we only shot in the machine room. Maria was very accommodating at following direction and was smiling at almost every pose. She was unfazed as I put her through a few unusual situations, namely sitting up on a steam powered industrial machine but with a modern smoke machine mounted behind her feeding smoke around her to mimic steam, and also was unfazed when I had her climb down into the sump of another industrial machine, where she happily posed framed by flywheel, connecting rod and sump base. Great shots, very unusual. Very enjoyable short shoot with Maria's bubbly personality. A couple of shots show her overcome with laughter, can't remember who said what to cause this, but great shots ! Highly Recommended.

I had the pleasure of working with Maria for the first time yesterday and we had so much fun, not to mention got some great shots.

Maria is a joy to work with and came fully prepared with her bubbly personality and an extensive range of ideas for shots and poses, but at the same time was more than willing to take direction to get that perfect shot.

I can't wait to work with her again and recommend anybody to shoot with her if you get the chance.

This was my third shoot with Maria, as always pre comms were excellent and the shoot was well planned.

When I arrived Maria was immaculately dressed, with hair and makeup perfectly done.

During the brief drive to the venue, Maria was talkative and outlined what she was trying to achieve from the day.

Once we got into the shoot Maria took direction very well, but when asked, posed easily by herself. During the shoot Maria was confident and able to put across her ideas on how we could improve the shot.

Although this was a three hour shoot, time flew by, we had a laugh and got some excellent images.

I cannot recommend this new, but talented model highly enough. If you are looking for a model with beauty, a captivating smile and warm personality, then Maria is for you.

Thank you for a wonderful shoot and I am sure it will not be our last.

Maria answered my casting call for a model to help me get my lighting set up in my new studio and to help me get back into shooting models after a long lay off.

I can only say that I'm so glad it was her who I shot first.

Great comm's before the shoot and even on her trip down, provided updates.

Very positive attitude, happy, smiley, yet with the utmost professionalism. A great conversationalist and it's so easy to build up a rapport with her very quickly.

The fact that she only started modelling a short while ago isn't really obvious at all, and she has good ideas for posing and styling and brought several changes of outfit.

I can't wait to shoot with her again sometime, and hopefully get some more great image for her.

Oh, she didn't even touch the Danish pastries I brought in, so more for me..LOL

Seriously folks, book a shoot with her while you can. You won't regret it!

I had my first shoot with Maria in a pretty cold but sunny park, neither the cold nor the public phased her, she happily got on with the job in an amazingly professional manner, as you can see from her infectious and gorgeous smile. Marie was more than happy to practice her catwalk un-phased by bystanders watching. Even though she's new to modelling she had plenty of ideas to bring to the shoot as we moved around swiftly from one location to another. Maria was quite willing to accept direction and together we created (I think) some beautiful images. Maria arrived with perfect makeup and hair which enabled us to get shooting immediately.

Maria is funny, witty, intelligent and professional and we got on instantly chatting about all kinds of stuff as we went about our shoot, she's a true multi-tasker which made for such a relaxing and enjoyable shoot, it was a real laugh.

I would say Maria is extremely confident, willing and a hard worker, nothing was too much trouble and she was happy to sit on the ground or wrap herself around trees to make shots, even in pristine white slacks; so she isn't a prima donna. You would never guess she was new to modelling.

Pre and post comm's excellent. I would have no hesitation at all in recommending Maria to anyone, definitely a star now and an even bigger star in the future as she learns more about modelling and the traits and peculiarities of different photographers.

Maria is simply a lovely and talented lady and I hope we will shoot again.

I had the pleasure of my first shoot with the very elegant and beautiful Maria.

Lots of contact prior to the shoot and a nice wardrobe to create a retro fashion theme.

Maria is very easy to work with took direction very well and hopefully on my shoot again list.

It was a nice way to spend a Sunday afternoon the time flew by and recommend working with the lovely Maria as her profile goes from strength to strength.

Thanks Russ x

Following some excellent pre-comms we finally met to have a shoot at a local castle and was great fun. Yes the sun was out and it was approaching dusk but even the wind from Siberia didn't dampen our enthusiasm to re-enact Julie Andrews skipping across the meadows...

Maria was a delight to work with and came resplendent in a 1950s long dark dress with stiletto boots, ideal for climbing castle ramparts and giving a clue to how the red roses beat the white roses 560 years ago on those same slopes. It was also a public place and Maria was completely at ease with the few public out walking the grounds, much to her credit.

It was difficult shooting circumstances - low sun, cold blustery wind but Maria took it all in her stride with laughter, that magnificent smile and a great chat too. I highly recommend Maria as she strides to get more experience working with different photographers in a variety of locations and themes and we have already started planning our next shoots together.

After excellent pre-shoot comms, during which we discussed in fine detail outfits,make-up & hair,and location ideas. Maria arrived on time complete with all her outfits. Maria`s hair and make-up was done to a high standard. Although Maria has only recently started modelling, she was able to put forward her own poses and ideas, took direction when asked,and was an absolute pleasure to work with. I found her to be both professional and bubbly in equal measure.Throughout the shoot you could see Maria`s confidence growing shot by shot.She is hard working, enthusiastic and has a great work ethic.

Thank you Maria for a lovely afternoons shoot.

Highly recommened.

This was my first shoot with Maria. Pre shoot comms were very good and ideas flowed very easily between us and we quickly settled on a brief for the shoot.

On the day Maria turned up on time with hair and make up done exactly to the brief. Once we got going Maria was a dream to work with, taking direction very well and contributing with several ideas of her own.

If you are looking to shoot fashion or beauty ​with a beautiful, easy going model, with a great sense of humour, then look no further than Maria.

Thank you for a great shoot and looking forward to our next.

Highly recommended.
