As a hobbyist who is still very much on a learning curve, I still approach most shoots with a sense of trepidation especially when in my humble opinion, my model is at the top of her game and in the top quartile of those on purple port.

Having shot at the Hacienda on a number of occasions I was enormously looking forward to shooting with Nicole whose port I have been following and admiring for quite some time.

On arrival I was greeted by a very bubbly, beautifully made up Nicole who was making the final preparations for her five day stay at the Hacienda and I was privileged to be the first shoot with her. From the start, during the course of our conversation, it was quite clear that we were going to get on famously and I was seriously looking forward to the time we were going to share together! However one drawback was that as we started, the beautiful natural light which is normally so abundant at Hacienda was actually very poor, save in the back room which always excels in offering great light.

The joy of shooting with a really experienced model, especially those who themselves are well versed as photographers, is that the shoot it’s very much a team effort. I cannot exaggerate how generous Nicole was in the advice that she offered but especially in the truly amazing way in which, throughout several sets, she delivered the most stunning expressive poses for whatever style we were shooting.

Throughout the shoot she had an eye for the back of the camera, constantly reviewing and when necessary, perfecting our output. She was especially considerate in allowing me to experiment with some new ideas regarding the lighting, which I am delighted to say helped produce some really amazing images.

The culmination of such an exciting experience, was my being invited to join Nicole for lunch during which I was able to further appreciate what a really fabulous Lady she really is.

For sure we will be working together anew and I seriously recommend every photographer to share my brilliant experience!

Had my first shoot with Nicole, today, and it was simply brilliant.

It has already been said, hundreds of times over,but Nicole is so easy to get along with, she is creative with lots of ideas and input, funny, chatty, beautiful and a delight to work with.

Nicole had also scouted out a number of locations in the area to shoot at (and was constantly lookng for new and interesting ones). This level of detail is what makes Nicole, really standout.

I had a great shoot and we created a lot of good images and a few outtakes.

Well don't just sit there reading this, get booking.

Thanks again for a fantastic shoot.

Whole heartedly recommended

Last minute-ish shoot with Nicole as she was down in London. Last time we shot on location it was storm force winds and freezing and now this time is was hot and sunny with very little breeze, but once again Nicole took it all her stride as we walked around central London (also meant we could pop into cafes etc to enjoy the air con and snacks to review the pictures we were getting as I was also testing out a new lens to see how it would work on shoots).

I really can't put into words how fun and creative it is to work with Nicole every time. She'll offer ideas, poses and has an eye for a location or two.

Just looking at the images on the back of the camera I can see we captured some magic pictures today.

So easy to work with Nicole to create awesome images every time. Highly recommended from me.

Had the pleasure of shooting with Nicole today. What can I say that hasn't already been said; endless variety of poses, flexible, friendly, positive attitude, beautiful and above all, easy to work with. She comes highly recommended!

I have wanted to work with Nicole for a very long time now because, well I am not an idiot! (Well...) Just look at her and her work. Full gorgeousness, full of personality and energy! The only downside was that because it was a group shoot out time working together was limited, but we certainly made the most of the time we had and I am very happy with what we got.

Nicole is full of ideas, she knows what works for her and how to get the best shot of, she is a pose machine and any bad shots we got are because of the idiot holding the camera...

I can wholeheartedly recommend hiring Nicole if you need a model, you certainly won't regret it. She would be excellent for beginners because she is knowledgeable, of course, of the modelling end of things but also of the lighting and photography side too. If you are more experienced photographer, don't be an idiot like me and wait, book her up now, she is well worth it!

I finally got to shoot with Nicole today at MAP Studios and it was definitely worth the wait for sure. We managed to fit in quite a few different sets / looks and Nicole transitioned from one to the next with complete ease. Extremely pleased with the outcome and enjoyed every moment working along side her. The hype is true...one model at the top of her game!

I worked with Nicole in AUSTRALIA a few months ago and had an absolute BLAST! It was our first time working together- and we were also met by the amazing; PoeticMinx, "Roger123456" and a lovely Australian photographer.

It was a completely spontaneous shoot on the beach and rocks during our individual travels to Australia- and I LOVED it!

I was not very well for the trip but Nicole and PoeticMinx were a complete breath of fresh air- they really pushed me outside of my comfort zone of working in the studio! They had me clambering across rocks and embracing the outdoors again! I absolutely loved Nicoles spirit, which I found very infectious and empowering.

Both Nicole and PoeticMinx are FEARLESS. I was equally in AWE and my heart in my throat at times- they kept me on my toes (literally!!) and it was amazing to watch them at their craft. They are truly amazing art nude models. I have gone away to every location shoot since and thought "I wonder what Nicole and PoeticMinx would have done in this location?" They are very inspiring and worked amazingly together. It was a really memorable couple of hours in such a stunning country. I absolutely loved the results!!

I really loved Nicoles fiery spirit, she has an amazing energy about her and would be an ideal muse for anyone to work with. I really hope we get the chance to work together in the future!

Super highly recommended,

I had a really memorable shoot with Nicole together with Helen Diaz and Poetic Minx at Palm Beach near Sydney, Australia. What a fantastic collection of talent in such a beautiful location!!

We had arrived in time for sunset and chose to shoot on some exposed rocks with the occasional wave breaking around them. We got some great shots of the three models posing together. Nicole is completely fearless, so decided to up the stakes and shoot closer to the water where the waves were breaking... We got some really nice images until a particularly large wave completely drenched her.

Nicole is fantastic to work with and such a nice person :) We will definitely work together again back in the UK.

Highly recommended!!

I had the honour and pleasure to work with Nicole on three occasions when she made her way to Australia in May. We worked twice as a duo and once as a trio. She is such an enthusiastic and bubbly model with a brilliant sense of humour, which always makes shooting much more enjoyable. Nicole is a posing machine and is also able to use her experience as a photographer to help and give tips.

Her input and dedication to create a great image is astounding. I loved working with her and I’m looking forward to more shoots with this wonderful, talented and kind human.

I've know Nicole for sometime and never arranged a shoot and thought it was time I did! Arranging one with her couldn't have been easier, knowing it was an early start and a late finish I offered her to stay at mine. She treated my home with respect even had a conversation with my little boy :) the day of the shoot she was fantastic and a good laugh too! The images are amazing and would recommend her to anyone, I'm sure I'll have many more days lined up for her in the future too :) 100% worth booking. Thanks Nicole x

Well, what can I say about this beautiful, amazingly talented human being??!!

Had the absolute pleasure to work alongside Nicole for 2 days, and I can honestly say I enjoyed every second of her company. Not only is Nicole a super talented model who I am majorly inspired by, she is a joy to be around, fun, bubbly, professional and just a bundle of happiness!

Watching her pose is inspiring and I came away with more knowledge of modelling than what i already knew.

I was lucky enough to shoot with her on a Wales event that Martin Newton organised, shooting in some stunning locations, and then we also managed to fit in a duo art nude shoot the day after before she jetted to Australia! The images we created are amazing and I can't wait to share them with you all.

So, in conclusion, if you haven't booked and worked with Nicole yet, you better getting booking! You will not be disappointed and you will be coming away with some beautiful images, and you will be infected by her laughter and personality.

Hope to work with this gorgeous girly again very soon!! xx

I recently attended a workshop style shoot with a group of photographers for a day on Anglesey shooting location art nude images. Nicole was one of two models working with us and I if I had to use one word to describe her, it would have to be "Awesome".

For her and It was a long day of shooting, a long journey there and back, cold and windy weather but Nicole never once gave anything other than 100%. Even when the photographers had given up, we're soaked through, tired and trudging back to the cars. Nicole was suggesting new shots, spotting locations and finding energy from, god knows where, to provide us with some stunning images.

She is truly a superstar, great fun to work with, professional, hard working and full of enthusiasm. She poses effortlessly and adds beauty, refinement and class to any image and and adds happiness and fun to your day.

Thoroughly recommended.

I was involved in the most fantastic shoot ever today with Nicole and the Hampson Street Massive. We went to two locations. An old brick works where this was taken, and a huge quarry. Nicole was fantastic to work with, amazing sense of humour and mad as a bag of frocks. You would not believe the places she climbed so we could get epic shots. She went above and beyond to give us all crazy, amazing images and I have no hesitation in saying that if you get the chance to work with Nicole, take it with both hands because she delivers amazingly and you will get stunning images.

I most highly recommend Nicole

I had a fantastic opportunity to work with Nicole on a group location shoot in Wales, I cannot praise Nicole enough her energy and enthusiasm was know no boundaries. A beautiful young lady full of life ( if not a bit crazy at times ) poses flowed freely and the only direction needed was err, no don't climb up there which usually fell on deaf ears. Joking aside Nicole is the ultimate professional and I have no reservations in recommending this talented young lady it was my first shoot with Nicole and certainly wont be my last. Looking at her calendar it is no wonder that she is booked on so many dates. It was an absolute pleasure, thank you Nicole.

Wow what can i say, I had the pleasure of shooting Nicole on Friday with the Hampson street massive. Nicole is so bubbly and energetic, and i have also got to say a dare devil, my heart was in my mouth at some of the places she climbed to, just to get a shoot. Believe me, work with this great model, you will not be disappointed.

I had the absolute pleasure to have my second shoot yesterday with Nicole in the beautiful city of York.

We started out at Nicole's Photography Palace and went on to make the streets of York unsafe (not really) and shot on different locations in the city. :)

Nicole is just fantastic in every way possible. She's a very professional model and creates so many different poses and expressions, really willing to make the most out of the situation which makes her so awesome and easy to shoot.

On top of that, she's a genuinely nice, friendly, easy going and super funny person. And if that wasn't enough, she's also a great tour guide, and I learned so many things on our shoot. :)

I wish I could shoot more frequently with Nicole, but since I'm from Sweden, it's not that simple but hopefully I will be able to do it soon again.

And I would highly recommend for anyone to book a shoot with Nicole, she is truly pure gold.
