"Nicole is an Incredible model to work with. Fun, accommodating and pretty much up for anything. I was in town for a job and we put together a quick and fun 90 minute shoot. Top-notch model with experience, great ideas, and a personality that brightens everything. Very easy to work with and a pleasure to be around, I'll work with her anytime, any place! Photographers don't miss an opportunity to work with this incredibly beautiful and talented model."

Difficult to add anything to the increasing positive references for Nicole. I had a wonderful 3 hr 'Helmut Newton' inspired shoot at her apartment. She agreed totally with my own ideas and added her own twist to them as well. She is a very pleasant and easy person to work with and time just flies by. She is extremely enthusiastic about her art and does her best to make sure that you get some great photos. Really hope to work with her again soon.

I had a fantastic 4 hours shoot today with the awesome Nicole Rayner at her lovely flat. Nicole was friendly and very easy to get along with. She was full of ideas and worked professionally with very little direction. We worked though several ideas with no clock watching and the time flew by.

I can't recommend Nicole highly enough and can't wait to work with Nicole again soon.

I’ve been wanting to shoot with Nicole for quite a while now and I finally got the chance last December at Loud and Flashy at Ashington.

What can I say about Nicole, she is a true professional who goes the extra mile when it comes to her profession. So to describe Nicole, she is fun, hardworking, hilarious, athletic, and helpful! She turned up well before the shoot time and was extremely helpful with advice and posing ! And what I got from the shoot a great selection of images and will look forward to sharing them with Nicole when they are finished. I would love to work with Nicole again....

I've shot with Nicole once before and I jumped at the chance to get some time with Nicole on her tour at Tasha's unicorn palace before it closes.

I sent Nicole my ideas and examples ahead of the shoot and she came with more clothes and creativity than I could have asked for.

It might have been a year since our previous shoot but the rapport took no time at all to get going, it's not hard to have a laugh with her as shes so down to earth. She worked well with my ideas even when I introduced some cold marble plinths to pose on.

Things I like about Nicole, she poses and poses, throws herself into it but is also thinking about things to suggest to help me obtain my vision.

It's great to see how far she's come since I shot her around a year ago and she was darn good then.

Fun, energetic, pose machine, creative and curves, what's not to like :)

I was absolutely delighted to have my second opportunity to work with Nicole, this time at Natasha's place in Camberley. Nicole is an amazing person and an awesome model. She has a great personality and is professional, helpful and above all fun to work with. She even made me a Beechams as I was feeling a little under the weather! (Thank you!)

During our shoot we got through several sets and was patient whilst I was fine tuning the lighting for some gel shots. Nicole knows what works and commits 100% to the whole process - If you are looking to work with a model to create some stunning artistic imagery, look no further!

I genuinely look forward to working with Nicole again in the hopefully no too distant future.

Highly recommended.

So where do I begin, First off I have a shoot all ready booked with Nicole and my friend Simon for Next year and then the awesome L.R.M Photography booked me for our final makeup shoot of 2017 earlier this year and OMG it was with Nicole, HOLY MACARONI was I excited as you can probably tell.

i was so over the moon as I have heard so many wonderful things about this beautiful lady and of course seen so many stunning images and I was thrilled to be meeting her finally.

I have worked with and been very lucky to have worked with so many models over the last few years and Nicole is one of them, her presence is out of this world, she is so down to earth, bubbly, has such a beautiful and unique face and she is just sensational and lets not forget very talented what you see is what you get and she rocks it and she certainly rocked my world on Saturday.

So for the day I produced 3 different creative looks and each one she absolutely rocked each one, the images look stunning and each one was very different.

Nicoles posing is perfect and she nails it every single time I was blown away by how much a perfectionist she is and i can see why so many people love her and love working with her as a model

She is strong, bubbly, passionate, vibrant and I really did enjoy every minute of our shoot and i am very much looking forward to seeing the final results.

If you have not had the chance to work with Nicole yet you really need to do so because she is flawless and such a sensational woman, thank you so much for a brilliant day I absolutely loved it.

Highly highly recommended :) xxxxx

As Nicole states on my reference, i have no idea how many shoots we have done together as its a lot, (and another one booked in for the start of January), and the simple reason for that is that on top of being a superb model, i always learn something from our shoots together.

Over the years Nicole has become a friend and i value her opinion on shoots immensely. Our shoots are always a collaborative style which i prefer than simply shooting with a model and we bounce ideas off each other throughout each shoot and set. I always tell her to be up front and brutally honest about our images in regards to my lighting, framing and editing as she is a very talented photographer and editor herself and due to this i have improved my work as i now notice the little things i had not noticed before thanks to Nicole pointing things out.

She is always fun yet professional on shoots and every shoot seems to fly by and i always look forward to our shoots together.

Thanks for a great set of shoots in 2017 Nicole and see you in 2018.

I will finish by saying that If you ever have the chance to work with Nicole, bounce ideas off her, ask her for honest feedback, honestly you will learn off her

My 4th shoot with Nicole (5th if you count a duo with Sophia Blake).. Nicole is my go to model, she's professional, inovative, hard working and always full of ideas. I had a idea to do some casual shots inside, then some outdoor winter shots, including low light shots. Nicole as always knew exactly how to get the best out of a shot and often gave me direction which is always welcome. We got some fabulous shots, easily some of the best I have ever taken.

Nicole really is a great model and with the added bonus of being a great photographer too, you will always get some great images with her, so book her now, but remember she is a professional working model, this is her job and she's bloody good at it so please be as professional as she is, you won't be disappointed.

Nicole you are fab, you deserve all the success you can get and look forward to many more hours of working together in the future x

Had a fabulous second shoot with Nicole in her apartment yesterday. Lots of creative work and lovely cuppas.

The shoot included a challenging theme which Nicole managed with ease, her ideas and poses were impressive to say the least, this was my best shoot to date.

Hope to work with Nicloe again in the near future.

Finally got to shoot with the lovely Nicole at her Map studio day and I can honestly say it was well worth the wait!

Nicole proved to be a wonderful, versatile model, impressing me enormously with her creativity and knowledge, fully embracing all the ideas thrown at her! We produced some amazing images and I look forward to working with Nicole again. I can't recommend her highly enough.

Thank you, Nicole.

Well it must have been said before in all these references, but it needs saying again. The girl is fabulous!

Our paths finally crossed on Nicole's Dark Beauty Shoot at York Photo Studio's and I can confidently say it won't be the last. She is one talented lady who is at the top of her game.

Attended a "Sugar Skull" group shoot arranged by Nicole at York Studio with MUA Dorota.

Stunning make-up, nice clean and tidy studio (at least when we arrived.) and a really great model who can work without instruction but is more than co-operative and responsive to instructions. In addition, Nicole has a concept of how images will look and will advise accordingly. (Not offended if you ignore her advice).

Highly professional, straight talking and intelligent model with a typical Yorkshire sense of humour. Will be back in York in the Spring to experience Nicole's amazing ability to create different Looks, moods and styles.

Larry James

Another brilliant shoot with Nicole last night. She arranged a Sugar Skull group shoot with stunning make -p provided by Dorota Ozarowska.

As ever Nicole was very professional, very supportive and very helpful with loads of suggestions on lighting, camera settings etc etc.

Highly recomended!

I recently worked with Nicole as part part of a DSLR video workshop hosted by Arrow Photography.

Nicole was the perfect model for this, she was professional, bubbly and importantly, patient! The was a lot of waiting around and repetitive shooting. She never complained and was already for action with a smile on her face!

It was an absolute pleasure to work with her and i would relish the opportunity to do so again in the very near future

I've admired Nicole's work for quite a while so it was fab to finally get the opportunity to shoot with her on her Dark Beauty event at York Photo Studio. Concept by Nicole and make up by Dorota Ozarowska were excellent. What really made the shoot of course was Nicole's striking look and expressions and superb posing ability. She is totally happy to keep moving and free styling but, equally, very willing to take suggestions along the way. Great fun with some beautiful images. Very easy to highly recommend. Thanks very much Nicole, had a blast :-) best wishes, Ian

“Wow” “Wowee” or “Wowser”, any one of these words would suitably describe my shoot with this delightful young model. Nicole is a corker!

I was held up in traffic be we were able to keep in constant touch by text and eventually met up and got to the studio in good time.

Nicole is a North Country lass and therefore is thus blunt and forthright but magnificently friendly and easy to get on with. Her smile is so infectious one wants to just only capture that… but I digress.

Nicole has a beautiful, oh so expressive, face, a stunning natural figure and her ability to strike different exotic poses, without direction, is a marvel to behold. This was a truly joint effort and Nicole put her ideas into the format of the shoot which I found most refreshing and helpful.

I trust anyone reading this reference will appreciate that I thoroughly recommend Nicolle and whilst I am looking forward to the next shoot, my only regret is the long distance between us which will inhibit my enthusiasm for shooting with Nicole on a regular basis.

Nicole, thank you, for a memorable and magical day.

Whoop - whoop!! :)

Our second shoot together after about a year, and I think we both felt it was even better than the first. We had such a relaxed day of shooting, and got through some really pleasing sets. One of the best things about working with top girls like Nicole, is the very useful feedback on reviewing the images as you go. It all goes towards creating the best images possible.

Nicole is not only a cracking, and beautiful model, but she has a really lovely, easy going personality, so you instantly feel comfortable; and that's so often the key to a good shoot.

Thanks for a brilliant weekend, Nicole, I loved having you here again x

Arrow Photography

Oh wow! Where do you start with Nicole!! She ticks every single awesome model box on my list!!

Beautiful - check

Awesome fun - check

Infinitely patient - check

Poses like a machine - check

Endlessly cheerful - check

I'm sure there's a few more but that's my main list!!

Nicole modelled for me on a video tuition day at the awesome Hacienda and really I couldn't have asked for a better model, on hand when she was needed for me to demonstrate certain techniques at a moments notice and the patience of a Saint as I asked her to repeat things endlessly!

Boundless energy, wonderful to be around, truly one of the best!

Thank you!!
