The first shoot I did with Michaela went by so fast so this time I made sure to book half a day.

Michaela worked incredibly hard to help me achieve the shots I wanted. She is such a whirlwind of positive energy! Really easy to collaborate with and has such an eye for detail. She works so hard to make sure every detail is as perfect as possible.

I can't wait to work with Michaela again soon.

I Had my third shoot with Michaela at Inspire Studios.

I had so much fun working with Michaela. I wanted to create some fashion images that also had some dance-inspired movement to them. Michaela did such an amazing job and helped me create images that far exceeded what I originally had in mind. We also shot some more traditional ballet poses and again Michaela was beyond amazing. I can't wait to get another opportunity to work with her again soon.

I had my first dance shoot with Michaela today. She has a super friendly and warm personality and brings lots of energy and fantastic ideas to the shoot. She is a real pleasure to work with. I love her attention to detail and always going the extra mile to get the best possible photo.

I highly recommend Michaela and Can't wait for another opportunity to work with her again.

I shot Michaela As part of a challenge series between myself and another photographer. But here's the kicker, we let the studio owner choose the model for us so neither of us had a clue what we'd be turning up to.

What a surprise it was to be able to work with her. Michaela was well and truly up to the challenge and it was such a fun shoot. She was more than happy to collaborate and talk through our ideas - A must since we turned up not knowing who we'd be shooting so the whole shoot was done on the fly with only a rough plan. The results were awesome.

I'd definitely recommend Michaela to anyone and would love to work with her again, maybe next time though not as a surprise and with a solid plan. Until next time...

This was my second shoot with Michaela the previous shoot at Inspire Studio this time location shoot Ballet in a Country House photo-shoot. Michaela was fantastic, hottest day ever recorded, but Michaela gave it her all. A lovely lady who I can't recommend highly enough. Hopefully get the chance to shoot with her again.

Thanks Michaela.

I shot Michaela at an organised group shoot (bit like speed dating with cameras) this is pure testament to her endurance and stamina. Six hours, 4 models, eight photographers and the hottest day ever recorded in the UK.

Kept dancing from start to finish, very well done.

Enjoyed my second shoot with Michaela, the first was a group day, this time on my own. Really enjoyed the 2 hours at Inspire shooting ballet and fashion. Michaela is very easy to talk to, and had lots of ideas. It was so nice to work with someone who really cares about the results, and she was very patient repeating shots to ensure they were what I wanted. A very good dancer and a lovely model, with a smile throughout. Many thanks.

Not being a dance photographer, my shoot with Michaela was going to be a learning curve for me. Luckily Michaela is a great dancer, model and teacher, along with being a lovely lady.

Having been photographed many time by dance photographers Michaela gave me some good advice about shooting dance.

We regularly reviewed the pictures as Michaela wanted to get the poses just right.

Can't recommend Michaela highly enough, luckily I have another session booked with her shortly.

Thanks for everything Michaela.

I had the pleasure of working with Michaela at a recent shoot organised by Inspire Studios in Salisbury. As you can see from Michaela’s portfolio she is a naturally beautiful model, perfect for portraiture, commercial beauty, fashion or lingerie. She has great skin and a lovely unforced smile, a photographers dream with no editing necessary. With a dance background Michaela poses gracefully with ease and without direction. Throughout our 2 hour shoot she was enthusiastic and always interested in viewing the results so we could make corrections where required in order to achieve the best results. Her input to the shoot and creative ideas were greatly appreciated. I was really happy with the results. I would highly recommend working with Michaela if you get the chance, a lovely girl and superb model.

I was just involved with a group shoot with Michaela as our muse. Michaela is a brilliant dancer, very professional and very easy to work with.

Like many dancers she is a perfectionist and took an active interest in getting the best possible images; so if I fired the camera a little early or late Michaela would repeat the jump or movement until I got it right.

I am hoping to arrange a one to one shoot in the near future inorder to explore some ideas, but in the meantime I recommend Michaela to other photographers - you won't be disappointed.

I was part of a workshop that was organised by David Shoukry, “Art of Monochrome” and Michaela was our model for the day.

Michaela was fantastic to work with, very professional, hard working and willing to work with a variety of photographers to ensure we all got shots we were happy with during our shooting time.

Our studio wasn’t really equipped for true dance shots (but that wasn’t the type of workshop either) and I would love to get the opportunity to work with Michaela again, and explore the opportunity to capture some of her amazing dance work.

I would absolutely recommend Michaela if you get the chance or option to work with her.

Inspire Studios Ltd

Had a fantastic shoot with Michaela prior to her studio day at Inspire and then we managed to squeeze another quick shoot in on the studio day too.

Michaela is naturally graceful wether she is doing dance or simple portraits and fashion. She poses well and is fun to work with. A really lovely all round talented young lady and look forward to working with her again soon.

I had my first shoot with Michaela at Inspire Studios. I am always keen to shoot with dancers so as soon as I found Michaela had a studio day booked straight away. Michaela is a wonderful dancer a great personality making the 3 hours fly by. And have already booked another 3 hours.

Michaela being a professional dance is very keen to get shoot right meaning getting some stunning shoots. I already have some ideas now as second shoot alway work for me so much better than the first. Already looking forward to next shoot.

I would highly recommend Michaela

I had the pleasure of meeting and shooting with Michaela at the brilliant Inspire Studios, in Salisbury.

We arrived at exactly the same time and I was immediately struck by the beautiful smile of Michaela. She really does light up the room.

We had discussed in advance the images we were hoping to create and I must say I am delighted with the results. Michaela wanted to see the images on the back of the camera, to ensure we were both happy with what we had created. I also had my laptop with me to download the images after each set.

This was a really enjoyable shoot with the one of the happiest models I have worked with. She is happy to smile in photos and has that wonderful elegance that ballerinas possess. She glides into posing, indeed she glides when she walks...

Needless to say I am so happy that I worked with Michaela and will definitely do so again. If you get the chance to have a shoot, do yourself a favour and just do it!

Had my first shoot with Michaela at her studio day at Inspire Studios and I can’t wait for a second.

Michaela was superb throughout, great fun to work with and has a lovely personality. We tried a number of different styles and lighting set-ups and she was amazing with all.

Michaela showed a healthy interest in the images I was achieving and it was lovely that she really wanted me to be happy with our images - and yes I am.

The shoot was relaxed and fun, with Michaela always being 100% professional. It really was a great couple of hours and I came away with so many beautiful images.

Would love to have a second shoot and I am very happy to recommend a shoot with Michaela.

Many thanks for a great shoot, Nick
