Nicole is a fantastic model; that's the plain and simple truth. She is professional, warm, funny, creative, enthusiastic and on top of that she is stunning. I cannot recommend her highly enough to any and all who would like to make art and have fun doing it. I will definitely be trying to make time to work with Nicole again.

I met Nicole for the first time yesterday at the Guy’s Cliffe event that she had organised. To say that I was impressed would be an understatement - her communications before the event were excellent, her organisational skills are obviously of the highest order (the event ran like clockwork) and she has a positive, “can do” attitude to life. Oh yes, she is also a great model - flexible, inventive, brave and chatty.

Recommended of course!

For my third shoot with Nicole we arranged a full day shooting on location around Oxfordshire. As always pre coms were first class and Nicole arrived as arranged and ready to go.

Once again Nicole showed why she is up there as one of the very best models you could chose to work with. Especially for location work, something in which she really excels. Amazing ability to find and hold the pose to suit the location! Really does bring emotion and style to every shot.

The weather unfortunately worked against us a bit. Seems every time we got to a location the heavens opened. Yet we still achieved some wonderful images together as her true professional approach shone through despite getting rather wet more than once. Nicole really does work hard so you can get the best from your shoot.

Nicole is also just a fun person to work with. Lots of chat and banter as we went. To me she has the most infectious, happy personality, which results in a relaxed and productive atmosphere.

Again, a wholehearted and full recommendation for the creative and professional Nicole. You really can’t go wrong by booking her.

Thanks for a great day and will look forward to our next one.

I had already done a duo shoot with Nicole and Ivory Flame on the Friday as I was struggling to get on to the weekend part of her Guys Cliffe event which I so wanted to do but much to my joy I was able to get a place on the Monday session which really made up for it as I worked with Rachelle Summers for the first time properly on my own.

You may be asking then why posting all this here... I want to big up Nicole’s event organising skills which where just superb and shout out what an amazing awesome young lady she is watching her dedication to her work even though every thing ached or hurt to give the photographers the most amazing images was just mind blowing.

I did get to do a trio shoot in my session which made the day so special from this brilliant brilliant and beautiful lady and I can’t recommend her enough.

Thank you Nicole here’s to Team NiNes next shoot (whenever that maybe)

Highly recommend.

I shot with Nicole (again) at a Guys Cliffe weekend she organised.

Nicole's qualities as a model and creative force are well known and documented here so I don't think I need to reiterate that along with her posing or how she throws herself into the shoot.

Nicole knows me well enough now to know that I like input and to utilise her experience so as someone who had shot at the location a number of times over the past few years compare with me shooting there for the first time I lent on her experience to help me try to shoot something a little different from what is often shot there. Out came the different angles, trying different nooks and crannies and wandering around trying things.

Later on during the day I had some time booked to do some duo's along with Alana IV Ray who I'd also shot with earlier in the day.

Duo's isn't something I've done a lot of and my brain was fairly fried at that point but that wasn't a problem as they posed easily at the locations I selected plus adding their own suggestions in so we could create a good variety in the hour we had.

Nicole is a very creative person and having spent a week with her in France rather nice as well so I really enjoy working with her.

Highly recommended as always.

Ivory Flame

It was a joy to model with Nicole again over the Guys Cliffe weekend she organised (plus some extra shoots we arranged around the dates) and also SO GOOD to watch her working with others.

She impresses me hugely, with her extreme creativity, dedication and passion. She puts her ALL into every pose. She is beautiful and fierce, her figure is stunning, she contorts, arches, stretches and drapes in the most dramatic, elegant and innovative ways. And she is STRONG - holding very challenging poses with power and dynamism.

The event was really well scheduled, with a perfect amount of breaks, and plenty of food and refreshments to keep us all going through the tiring days. Everyone was a pleasure to work with and had such a brilliant time! A lovely, fun atmosphere all round and so much great work created!!!

Well done on everything Nicole, you're a force of nature!!! :-D

Another great shoot with Nicole! This time a Guys Cliffe art nude event, organised by Nicole with 3 other models. Must be pretty stressful with all the admin and organisation to contend with, but you wouldn't know it as Nicole professionally posed seamlessly from great pose to great pose both on her own and with the other models.

Super to work with as Nicole has a great sense of humour, is very supportive and offers lots of great advice.

Highly recommended!

I attended an event at Guy's Cliffe that had been organised by Nicole. It was brilliant! The organisation was spot-on, the models were fantastic, we created some awesome images and had a fun time.

As usual, Nicole threw herself whole-heartedly into the shoot, posing in some awkward locations.

Nicole and any event she organises are highly recommended!

2019 is turning into either working with Nicole or shooting at events she's either hosting or part of the model line. This time I was asked to cover her Guy's Cliffe event across the weekend in a behind the scene capacity. Nicole ran a great event with solo, duo and four combination variations of models and planned out to make sure the photographers that attended got lots of opportunities to shoot with the models.

One of those models that every photographer should have images in their portfolio.

I had the great pleasure of working with Nicole again on an event that she organised at Guys Cliffe. The organisation and general managing of the event was first class and it was an awesome day. Nicole is a true professional and organised the day to perfection choosing only top class models for us to work with. As a model , she is one of the best and always goes the extra mile to help you get the best images possible and I love working with her. She has an amazing knowledge of photography and is a lovely person so you cannot help wanting to work with her again and again. Thank you Nicole for a great day and helping me create some awesome images.

A little bit of a double reference here as I was lucky enough to attend Nicole's event at Guys Cliffe this morning with Nicole herself, Ivory Flame, Rachele Summers, and Ayla Rose. The event was very well organised with everyone knowing where they had to be, and plenty of opportunities to shot amazing images. Also plenty of coffee and as many Penguins as you could eat. The biscuits were good too! Then Nicole the model. This is a shoot that I've been waiting to do for a long time, and I certainly wasn't disappointed. Nicole poses beautifully and requires little direction but responded well when given. A lovely lady to work with. I haope its not too long before we shoot again. Happy to recommend.

Nicoles just class... produced a great shoot with 3 other fab models at guys cliffe..

I've loved working with nicole on every shoot we've had, no doubt I'll love working with her in the future..

When you've worked with models of this calibre, you just realise that its worth spending the money on quality..

FAB!!

My first shoot with Nicole and my first visit to Guy's Cliffe House. This was a 4 model 8 photographer event which was extremely well organised by Nicole. We kept to well thought out timetable which allowed maximum shooting time with welcome (for the models!) 10 minute breaks. Plenty refreshments available.

Nicole is energetic, flexible, imaginative and holds difficult poses. She was still cheerful towards the end of the half day shoot despite having one or two grazes and bruises. A true professional and lovely person.

Second visit to Nicoles Guys Cliffe event - this time booked for the whole day as opposed to the half day last year. So pleased I committed again - this time with an awareness of what the location offers, and a damn good model line up - Nicole, Ivory, Ayla and Rachelle. The event was well organised with a prepared schedule as to who was working with who and when, with built in breaks between sets.

When she wasn't organising, timekeeping and corralling both photographers and models Nicole modelled superbly. Not stopping all day. The enthusiasm and keenness to deliver great poses to the photographer is evident.

An awesome model in an awesome location - what more could you want?

Looking forward to shooting together again later this year - cannot wait :)

Thanks Nicole.

This reference is for the marvellous Guys Cliffe event Nicole organised recently and how happy I was to enjoy such a brilliantly well organised and creatively rich afternoon. This lady is simply fantastic, I have had the delight and pleasure to work with her several times and it's always wonderful.

Having written glowing testaments previously on how professional and hard working she is in the past I will simply state that there is a reason you repeatedly work with certain people and that is because they always deliver and are a true joy to be around. She is someone you absolutely should be working with and not only will you get stunning images but you'll enjoy the company of a very special lady.

I had an absolutely brilliant shoot experience organised by Nicole at Guy's Cliff. I'm not particularly used to location shoots or working with other togs, or a group of models. So I was nervous, I needn't have been. What a lovely group of models, super easy to work with, absolutely in tune with each other, no ego's, just hard working, fun, professionals. The atmosphere was fun, open, collaborative and creative. The togs were all really nice guys too. So I left with images I really love, at a spectacular location with models I will be happy to work with again. Bravo and thanks again Nicole

I attended Nicole's event at Guys Cliffe another venue I have wanted to shoot at for sometime. Working in a pair for our allotted period with Nicole went smoothly as she climbed trees and not safe brick work, posing seamlessly while making suggestions on how things could be improved pose wise. As usual I have lots of images to work on. Thanks for a great morning and looking to forward to next year.

Nicole Rayner has held an event at Guys Cliffe on 03-aug-2019. After having missed last year's edition, I made sure that I applied to the event in time.

I've also made sure that I would be at the event in time, traveling to Great Britain a few days in advance.

And I must say that the event was well worth it. To start with, the location is very interesting to hold a shoot. The four models (including Nicole herself) were all top-notch, each trying their very best.

I've also met and worked with other photographers who were all in for having a good time.

All in all the event was a great success. And I've also seen some great results.

Nicole organised a fantastic shoot at Guys Cliffe involving herself and three other amazing models. Her communication was excellent and her organisational skills just perfect.

This was the first time I had worked with Nicole and it certainly will not be my last - she works incredibly hard to ensure the best possible images can be achieved. She flows from pose to pose with ease and is also happy to take direction.

Nicole is not afraid to try and achieve unique poses, sometimes demanding careful balance, stamina and courage.

A brilliant day that resulted in great images, thank you Nicole. Highly recommended to all photographers.

Had my second shoot with Nicole at an event she organised with a team other models. The event was a superb day and planned to perfection. As usual Nicole was a bundle of energy and so happy to ensure you got the shots you were looking for as well as having an expert eye to add ideas to your concepts. Her energy is endless and so prepared to go that extra step ( or climb) where needed. Highly recommended and I look forwards to working with Nicole again :)
