Finally got to shoot with Nicole at the Hacienda. We got off to a flying start and shot a variety of styles and themes over a 2 hour period. she is funny and very easy to get on with.

The time went by so quickly. The net result was some lovely images and a memorable experience. Thank you Nicole x

What a great shoot I had working with Nicole for the first time! From communication, collaborating on ideas during the shoot, and posing with much energy and grace, it has been an absolute delight to work with such a professional model as Nicole. She was able to freestyle with her posing with little or no direction but also incorporating suggestions you, the photographer may have. The flat itself had many natural lighting opportunities, so my lighting gear remained firmly within its bag.

Thanks again Nicole, I hope to be working with you again in the future!

Nicole and I have been trying to arrange a shoot for ages, and we finally made it! We shot at the Hacienda and concentrated mainly on creating natural, almost "unposed" images to make best use of this fantastic space. This worked tremendously well and we were blessed with wonderful natural light, allowing us to create some beautiful images.

Nicole was fabulous to work with. So easy-going and friendly, and full of useful suggestions and ideas. She understood immediately what I was trying to achieve and settled immediately into the style I was aiming for. It was a great shoot and I would be very happy to work with Nicole again, whenever we can arrange for our paths to cross once again!

Thanks Nicole

This was my first photo shoot with Nicole and I hope it will be the first of many as I had a fantastic time working with Nicole and I think we captured some really great pictures.

We were shooting at the lovely Hacienda studio and we were blessed with some lovely natural light and took full advantage. Nicole was very well prepared for the shoot and was such fun to work with, an absolute bundle of energy, ideas and truly amazing poses.

Many thanks Nicole

There is no need to comment on the quality of Nicole as a model. A glance through the images on her port tells you all you need to know about that! Versatile, daring, professional and beautiful.

She is, of course, very busy and it was about a month before we could arrange a shoot at her lovely apartment in York.

Pre-shoot communications were excellent and I was greeted with a cup of coffee ,the first of many, on arrival. The flat provides lighting opportunities which would be difficult to replicate in the studio, with an ideal floor and easy to move furniture.

It was the first time I had worked with Nicole, but right from the start we worked as a team. Not to do so would have been to waste the talents of an experienced and knowledgeable model. Once the theme had been discussed, she flowed effortlessly from one pose to the next to achieve the desired result.

As well as being beautiful, Nicole has an engaging personality and a mischievous sense of humour. The shoot was punctuated with much laughter!

You will leave with a warm feeling, thinking "What a wonderful model!"

I look forward to our next shoot.

Bill.

If this lady was a wine she would be a vintage you could not afford . Fortunately she is a model, and what a model. Full of energy giving so much of herself to give you the image you want. Her enthusiasm is amazing . Every thing about this pretty [yes her mums right ] model is just fantastic. If you have not had a shoot with this lady you have missed a a great treat

You have to book this girl and work with her!

OMG! Nicole is a fantastic model. Our shot was a full collaboration of her input and mine and the fact that she photographs, means that you get a great input in to the shoot as well as a model who takes great direction. I feel like we created some of my best work today through the team work on the day.

Nicole certainly deserves her incredible reputation. I have so many amazing images from the day on various locations, and Lordy! She works hard!

She is easy to be around, creative, funny, committed, honest and overall outstanding.

There are not enough superlatives to describe her! She is Nicolitious!

If you are new to working with models - book her! If you have been in the game a while - book her. If you haven't done much work on your own - book her!

Basically put her on your 'must work with ' list today

Thank you Nicole! You were a superstar! xxx

boom - get in there! Nicole and I did another awesome 1-2-1 tutorial hosted by Nicole at her Photography Palace (her gorgeous apartment) in York. This time the tutorial was with the fabulous Chris650, who came up for the day.

Nicole, as always, was a consummate professional and the hostess with the mostess! :) She made us both very welcome and we were plied with copious quantities of tea (always a winner).

The day was a great success and Nicole excelled herself!

I really cannot recommend this lovely lady enough - she's a top lass!

cheers Nicole :) :) :)

All I can say is wow!

I’ve admired this girl from the second I saw her, her personality is so evident and that paired with her passion and dedication/drive towards her modelling always impressed me. Then I met her and realised she was even more awesome than I’d thought haha!

Although meeting her previously this is the first time I’ve properly had the chance to model with her and the first time I’ve booked her for one of my trips, and honestly I’m so glad I did.

She’s an incredible model, and an even better person. She’s just a genuine, down to earth person and has a very clear passion for modelling. She’s also bloody hilarious - I’ve actually never laughed as hard on one of my trips before. The second she arrived she was jumping in the pool fully dressed haha!

I’m very lucky to of met her and had the chance to work with her. I already have her booked for another trip next year and it will not be the last! So basically if you haven’t already booked her - what is wrong with you?! Haha!

Highly, highly recommended!

Totally recommended.

I travelled up to York last week to meet Nicole and went on a magical mystery tour shooting in the various locations she took me to. We had good light and I have to say we had a lot of fun on our shoot. Nicole is bright and breezy yet takes her work very seriously, making sure I was happy with the shots we achieved. "It's not my favourite" became the catchphrase of the shoot - however, I have come away with many favourite shots of Nicole to date. We have worked together several times and in that time she has grown as a model, always produces first class images, works hard but at the same time she is Miss Personality Plus making the whole experience a lot of fun. Standy-by for the Yorkshire Re-visited shoot Nicole :) x

We had planned this shoot since May as Nicole is hyper busy it was for 2 days and took ages for it to arrive and gone in nano second,but boy was it worth I have done 4 shoots with Nicole now this is up there as one of the best.

I can not recommend Nicole enough she is at the top of her profession and just keeps striving to give each photographer some thing new,I wanted to do some images for my LRPS which I think I have achieved.

I cannot thank Nicole enough you are one of the bravest most fearless,and stunningly beautiful hard working young ladies I know who gives 110% creativity every time.

I am already planning the next shoot with her.Watch this space team "Top Notch" will be back. Thank you Nicole xx

As Nicole was already in Northampton shooting, it made sense to book her for a few hours and have some shooty fun. I booked Natural light Spaces as it was available. We managed to cover quite a few sets and through it all we had a laugh and got some awesome shots. Nicole is a pro thru and thru, always looking smouldering hot through the viewfinder and pulling some amazing poses. Highly recommended and a pleasure to both work with and be around.

I have known Nicole for a few years and calendars have never matched, so we planned ahead and booked around 5 months ahead. Boy was it worth the wait. Nicole is full of life and brings an energy to a shoot. I love it when its a real team effort and when you work with a model of Nicoles calibre, you only have to worry about your end of the game.

We had 4 hours to shoot and managed to get through so many sets and styles and looks and lighting options that It will take me an age to process all the shots. really happy with all the shots. A really fun shoot, with some much creativity i will definitely be working with her again.

highly recommended!!! and so happy i have her on portfolio at last!

I met Nicole for the first time as part of a studio day organised by Jon Downs at the Hacienda. Nicole is a smashing young lady fully energy, bubbly personality and infectous smile. Her modelling skills are second to none with her ability to do such lovely natural poses there is no need to direct Nicole just let her work her magic and just fill your memory card with fab images. I most definitely want to work with Nicole again and I recommend to anybody who has the chance to work with her not to miss the opportunity. Thanks Nicole.

Nicole, Nicole, Nicole … what’s to say about this amazing person?

Well Nicole and I did another one of our workshops at the Hacienda studio in London recently. The whole event went like a dream and Nicole, for me, is a rather large part of what makes these sessions a success. She's magic at doing these workshops, she really is! I genuinely love working with her ... when I get the chance I grab it with both hands! I keep coming back for more and more! haha

Nicole is one special lady ('special' in the old parlance not the new!). She is an absolute bundle of modelling fun, talent and joy ... and she's not too bad looking either! ;)

Nicole’s contributions from a model’s perspective are always invaluable and entertaining … and what’s more she occasionally laughs at my jokes too!

Would I recommend her (rhetorical) … abso-flippin-lutely!

cheers Nicole for just being you!

To start with, Nicole is a Gorgeous lady - note the capital 'G' ;) - and a lovely friend. We've had one or two fabulous shoots together, and have another lined up for November. This shoot we had at The Hacienda, was arranged fairly last minute, as we were meeting up anyway. I'm so pleased we did, because the day couldn't have been any better, and it was at a time that wasn't exactly great for me; but that's another story.

Our time together started when we met up at Waterloo, and then trundled over to Liverpool Street and had a bite of breakfast on our way to the studio, where we had another cracking couple of hours shooting some lovely pics. It wasn't over then, because before Nicole's workshop started for the afternoon, we shot a few images on the street as we wandered around the vintage markets doing a bit of shopping ( well, one of us was shopping ;) ). What a day, and what a beautiful young lady Nicole is! A superb model, and luckily for me, a lovely friend too :) x

I worked with Nicole at The Sanctuary, it was a very easy, fun shoot. Nicole is naturally very funny, and hard working, she is a great model and knows exactly what she is doing, I really enjoyed the day and found it very productive.

I really enjoyed Nicole's company and would happily work with her again.
