We had planned an outdoor shoot with a couple of themes, but the weather was against us, so we used Kate's house which has lots of natural light. Kate had prepared some great props and had lots of ideas of what she wanted to shoot. Kate is great fun to work with and the time passed very quickly, she is also a great hostess. I really enjoyed our 4 hours and I am very pleased with the images. I would definitely recommend Kate.

This was a very special shoot for me. I had never worked with a model with a disability such as Kate has. Her limited movement meant extreme effort was needed to get into the required positions. However this was not a problem for her. Her grit and determination to provide me with suitable poses left me with total respect for this model. To say I was impressed was an understatement. Great pre shoot coms about what she wanted to shoot. Between us I think we produced some awesome images. Kate has to be one of the most hard working models I have ever had the pleasure to shoot. What she lacks in physical movement she more than makes up for in personality. She is a lovely lovely model and I whole heartedly recommend her to other photographers.

I had the good fortune to have the chance to work with Michelle Watt - a remarkable person. Michelle is incredibly enthusiastic and prepared to go to extreme effort to produce the shots required she is so positive that 'nothing will stop her' ! Read her PP profile, believe and be prepared to be amazed !

I recommend that you take any opportunity to work with Michelle - it WILL be worth it :)

Thanks Michelle for all your effort - a valuable Studio session (Y). Martin.

Invited to a photo shoot with Michelle only expecting to watch. Time passes and we came up with an idea to try some body scaping. Michelle had the instant get up and go attitude and we did it. Very spontaneous and very enjoyable. Michelle works hard to achieve the goals of the photographer and is willing to try anything. I cannot wait to work with her again.

Monday this week, consisted of many surprises. For the first time Red Chair Photography Studio was used for a wonderful shoot by Michelle. As some of you may know, Michelle is somewhat restricted in movement, so some challenges were due to surface. The amount of tenacity and determination shown by Michelle was monumental to say the least. With the assistance of Martin and Dan we were able to create some cracking images. I was also fortunate to take a few images of my own, while Dan and Martin were setting up.

This lady is truly remarkable, her whole attitude and application to life lifts you, even when you're low.

If you are prepared to be prepared to change direction and think on your feet, then book this beautiful woman, you will be inspired!!

Need to be quick, 'cause she's gonna be busy.

Enjoyed an afternoon shooting with Michelle this afternoon - she is fun, relaxed lovely person and we had a good time shooting quite a wide range of styles.

Michelle has to use a wheelchair, and models despite an MS diagnosis - this and all it entails undoubtedly brings a number of considerations when you are shooting, but Michelle's relaxed and positive outlook soon renders them no issue to producing some good photographs. She is willing to have a go at anything, and I enjoyed being pushed to be adventurous in our collaboration, and for us both to look outside of the box to come up with the shots. I'll definitely work with Michelle again.

I had the pleasure of an all-day shoot with Michelle on Saturday. And what a pleasure it was.

Mind you, I knew it was going to be a good 'un. Her pre-shoot communications had been excellent so, on shoot day, we were able to hit the ground running. We tried several ideas, making use of Michelle's imagination and creativity. It's lovely to work with someone who is so full of good ideas. It's also good to work with someone who is so full of enthusiasm.

She was lovely to work with, a lovely person (totally unpretentious and with a wicked sense of humour), and so polite that she even laughed at some of my dusty old jokes. So the shoot was not just productive but was also very enjoyable.

Thanks for a jolly spiffing day, ma'am. :)

I had a shoot with Michelle at her home using a single studio light. What I initially thought would be an event lasting maybe 2 or 3 hours ended up lasting for nearly 6! It was really fun, we had some real laughs and I'm very happy with the selection of photos we managed to get on the day.

The shoot did have its challenges but MIchelle was willing and very happy to will to try anything I suggested.

Michelle was a little nervous at first but knew the type of photos she wanted and once we started the nerves disappeared and we were both able to challenge each other.

I will certainly be planning another shoot with MIchelle, especially now that I know here much better and I left her with homework to think of the theme for our next time together.

It was a pleasure.

I worked with Michelle at Diamond Divas yesterday. PennyMUA performed makeuppery.

We had plotted this for a little while to coincide with a shoot that I was doing with LouisePierced and, after a number of stumbles because of clashing dates we finally got together to put our ideas into action.

Michelle was a little nervous at first, it being the very beginning of her adventures in modelling, but once I showed her the first few pictures on the back of the camera she grew in confidence, listening to posing requests and playing to the camera.

We had a great shoot, she is loads of fun and will have a lot more good shoots ahead of her. If you fancy working with her, go for it - I thoroughly recommend her.

PS She brought Jaffa Cakes - gotta love that!

This was my second shoot with the lovely Michelle (at the time of the first one she was not on pp)

She is so warm and friendly and happy for me to work my magic without question and on both shoots had no problem with concepts. Happy to have make up touch ups when required.

A really lovely atmosphere she brings with her.

Recommended to all :) xx

Michelle arranged a shoot with a new and local photographer with us today.

Her pre comms were great allowing me to get the right set ups ready for her requirements.

Lovely lady and recommended to work with.

Thanks Michelle, shall see you again no doubt
