I had the pleasure of working with Nicole for the first time recently at Wolfe Cottage Studio.

Everything was arranged fully in advance with ideas going both ways.

At the shoot she was very patient as I experimented with the studio lighting to get different effects.

Over the course of a two hour session we got through a lot of different settings, both hi-key and low-key, and Nicole posed with great flexibility throughout, with only minimal direction needed from me.

Still processing the shots, but I know I will get lots of great pictures from the session.

I can fully recommend Nicole as a model. Book her if she is in your area.

My First shoot with Nicole I enticed her to my local studio in Leicester after following her for awhile now on Facebook, we arranged the shoot over Easter as she was in my area and wasn't to much out of her way :) and preshoot coms were spot on :)

I can not fault her she arrived on time and soon got the shoot going; she is Flawless in her posing, a very professional warm friendly happy lovely young Lady and such a pleasure to work with :)

Thanks again Nicole for taking the time out to visit Leicester and giving me the chance for this amazing shoot and look forward to working with you again when passing this area :) xx

For my fourth shoot with Nicole she'd arranged everything at Natural Light studio, so pre-shoot comms and logistics were perfect. And perfect is how she looked when I arrived – fabulous hair and her beautiful face exquisitely made-up.

Nicole is a wonderful and rare mix of someone who has very high standards for herself in everything she does, is a total professional, and yet is warm, friendly, funny – and indeed very easy and terrific fun to work with. She is highly creative, fearless in her pursuit of great images, and at the same time down-to-earth, genuine and very hard working. I love her can-do attitude and boundless energy, her sense of humour, and her awesome taste in music! She contributes so much to a shoot, whether spontaneously reacting to new opportunities for scarcely believable poses or thoughtfully drawing on her considerable knowledge of photography. For me, working with Nicole feels like a completely stress-free, balanced and equal partnership. Synergistic and perfect.

As is obvious from her portfolio Nicole is beautiful, has an amazing talent for posing and for expressing emotion, and is extremely versatile. Her fabulous figure and natural elegance when posing tend to hide the fact that she is physically very strong. This time we shot everything from art nude to en pointe ballet to raunchy glam and some experimental use of bright sunlight and shadows. Nicole was, and always will be, totally fabulous.

She is a very special person in so many ways, and a privilege to know and to work with. I am very glad we have another shoot booked already. Thank you Nicole.

Recommended 100% without reservation.

Today I had my second shoot with Nicole. This one went a little better, as the weather wasn't quite so damp!! In fact it was perfect. Using the natural light studio and the surrounding area meant Nicole could perform at her best. And she flourished!

Climbing, balancing and posing on things... Nicole is fearless! Super versatile and immaculate in her look. Amazing hair, make up lovely and she's always got a smile going!

We covered a range of things, from fashion right through to nude, and Nicole was able to cover everything beautifully. She was also extremely patient with me and taught me a lot about the lenses I was using, and how I could get a better shot using that lens, and not this lens, etc.

A highly versatile, intelligent and ever so charming bundle of beautiful goodness, Nicole is certainly the model of choice whether your a newbie or a professional... Nicole is for you!!

Highly recommended and I'll prove it as I'm already looking forward to my next shoot with her!

Thank you Nicole for an awesome shoot!

Nicole is one of those models on Purpleport that you do not really need to say anything about in your reference as the sheer quality of her port, plus her already amazing references speak for themselves. However, i had such a great time working with Nicole i will add to those amazing references she has :)

I have known Nicole for a while now on facebook, and had the pleasure of meeting her on a recent group event so i knew what a bundle of energy she is and she brings that energy to the shoot so i knew it was going to be a great shoot prior to arriving.

Pre-coms were amazing, we both knew exactly what we wanted from the shoot and Nicole brought a packed to the rim suitcase so we had dozens of options for clothing.

We shot at the quite brilliant Natural Light Space studio which gave us so many options for sets and we got through so many, involving fashion, creative fashion, ariel/hoop, grunge and more and we used the new white room studio plus Tris gave us a preview of the new studio and we managed some lovely shots in there also.

We have some amazing images, Nicole was a bundle of energy and fun throughout the day, yet still professional and even got me a guest spot appearence on her now famous live feeds :)

i really look forward to editing these and i already have a second shoot booked with Nicole next month which i am really looking forward to.

Thank you Nicole for an amazing shoot and honestly everyone, if you get a chance to work with Nicole, take it.

See you next month :)

Sincere, pretty, funny, talented.

These are the three words I feel aptly describe Nicole.

She is quite gorgeous, I think she is highly attractive, nice hair.

Very talented she pulls off poses in different angles and positions effortlessly.

Sincere, Nicole really down to earth and honest about things, how she perceives herself, how she perceives others, how she perceives modeling. As a result, it's easy to have a free flowing conversation with her. Lots of laughs.

I'm definitely working with Nicole again.

Between cookies, amazing shots, selfies, laughs you could not really ask for much more was aces,

This was the first time Nicole had ever worked with a male model but you would not tell from how easy she made it look and how powerful the pictures turned out. And very good come to bed eyes.

Photographers should definitely work with Nicole treat her well, with respect and create amazing pictures together.

Top model and human being! X

100th reference for Nicole, was going to leave a not recommended for a laugh but I value my life....

So me and this wee lass spent a day together in loads of places near me. We got interupted by kids which Nic promptly scared off, sun was a nightmare, we had lambing going on to stop us getting where we needed to be, geriatrics having their lunch break in our posing spot, etc etc. All shrugged off.

Do I recommend her? Oh god yes..........she is a class act, both in terms of her modelling ability and personality. I'd shoot again tomorrow.

Had a great shoot with the amazing Nicole. She's: friendly, cool, sexy, natural, dedicated, professional, fun, beautiful and lovely!

Can't wait to work with her again. Highly recommended!

I had the great pleasure of shooting this awesome young lady on location and at my home on her recent Kent tour. She stayed at my house for a few days and what a great experience it was. As a person she is so lovely , if a bit kooky (in a good way), we had many a laugh and it was great to have her stay. We ventured out to Rochester.Castle to do some fashion work and she worked tirelessly in the heat and bright sunshine and she understood exactly what was needed to cope with very strong sun and constantly changing conditions. Her knowledge as a photographer helped Immensely as the sun darted between the clouds to try and ruin the shots but together we overcame every problem and produced some great images. We then moved indoors and shot a completely different style of lingerie and she adapted instantly and produced exactly what what I was looking for. She is professional in every sense of the word and great fun to work with and is highly recommended.

Thank you Nicole, our next shoot cannot come quick enough

I got to shoot the self-proclaimed "Little bundle of joy" on April Fool's Day and she ain't lying :)

Nicole obviously takes her modelling very seriously - but luckily she hides that well, making a shoot feel as little like "work" as it could ever be.

She poses without much direction and chats without much provocation - and best of all, makes my snaps look damn good!

Very highly recommended and hope we can shoot again next time she comes down south :D

My first shoot with Nicole and we used the Photofinca Studio in Keighley. Prior planning with Nicole went smoothly and we exchanged numbers in the event of problems on the day. Nicole and I quickly established a rapport in the studio and the shoot became a productive and enjoyable experience, I hope for both of us. I am looking for high quality digital images and prints suitable for competition and there is no doubt that we have achieved this in this first shoot with Nicole. Nicole is easy to work with. She responds well to direction and equally is very well capable of posing with little or no direction. She has a flexible and beautiful form which works well in colour and black and white. We will work together again soon. I recommend Nicole without reservation.

Nicole is a great model. She is very easy to work with because she knows how to create shapes with her body and works hard to show a great range of poses. She was very friendly and thoughtful right from the start. Her communication was excellent which made the shoot very easy to arrange.

We shot at Nicole's home which is ideal for shoots. I would highly recommend Nicole to other photographers.

I had a first shoot with Nicole yesterday, I found her very friendly right from the very first moment of meeting her at the station.

She is an amiable person and I thoroughly enjoyed shooting with her.

We got some great results which I am very pleased with - she was happy to redo poses to improve the look of the pictures, and as alluded to in her profile notes, she will readily climb virtually anything, regardless of dust, discomfort etc

As we went along she was happy to provide her own input to the shoot and I felt we worked well together.

I recommend Nicole to all photographers, and would be happy to shoot with her again in the near future.

Blimey where do I start on this reference? seriously ... I am slightly speechless. It was a day i won't forget for sure.

It started like any other shoot i guess ... but not really. There was something a little special in the air. Was it the updates from Nicole about how she was doing at the doctors (she hurt her hand recently during a street brawl with a butternut squash) as I neared Nicole's Photography Palace in York? Maybe ... or was it how amazingly fun, talented and gorgeous she turned out to be?

I'm not totally sure ... but there is something I can't quite put my finger on.

The day wasn't long enough and as we ended the shoot it felt as if we could have done so much more - even though what we'd done was special. Each set was absolute dynamite - honestly. I genuinely loved working with Nicole and I love the photos we produced.

Nicole quotes from the day:

"I'd like a dog to just jump in"

"do you want me to get on?"

"sorry i showed you my gash"

"but they're not properly in"

I really cannot recommend her enough - but feel that if I recommend her too much I won’t be able to get future shoots booked in! no honestly book her - you won’t regret it!

a big thanks Nicole! really looking forward to our colourful second shoot! :)

by the way Nicole I don't do that with everyone! ;)

Had the pleasure to finally work with Nicole yesterday(we have been trying to sort a date for a while now). I am certainly glad we finally managed to get a date arranged.

Nicole has great positive enthusiasm a great personality and has a great range of expression and poses. She can flow from one pose to the next or can take direction well too.

We covered a range of sets and Nicole worked hard in each to give great images

A great day and I hope to work with her again too, thank you Nicole.

I can thoroughly recommended working with her.

I attended a lighting master class with Nicole and Richard Egan - great class, well run. Very professional. Nicole lifted the event with her sly wit, and fantastic personality and charm. She is a brilliant model, who needs little, or no direction. She worked from evening dress, to lingerie, and art nude, with the same panache and enthusiasm.

I look forward to working with her again.

Handsworth Photography

A quite, quite brilliant model.

Nicole was very good with communication prior to the shoot which entailed quite a journey from oop north and an overnight stay to ensure we could get to the location early on a Sunday.

During the shoot she struck pose after pose, getting into some wild and wacky spots and even down and dirty in a muddy riverbank. It was as much as I could do to keep up with her. Great energy levels throughout the day.

I wouldn't hesitate to work with Nicole again.

Nicole and I have been wanting to shoot together for ages. I finally got to shoot with the wonderful Nicole yesterday at the amazing Natural Light Studio. Nicole is stunningly beautiful, a great model and such a lovely warm and kind person with a great personality. Her pre-shoot communication was great and although we only had half an hour to shoot, as I got seriously delayed in a traffic jam, we were able to shoot four different sets and Nicole just moved seamlessly from one pose and expression to the next and we achieved some lovely images in each of the sets. It was such a thrill to work with this amazing lady and I can't wait until we can shoot again. Very highly recommended by me. Thank you so much Nicole - you are such a super person as well as being a brilliant model. x

What can one say about Nicole,where does one start.

She is so easy to work with, very professional at all times but still a very lovely person to chat with.After 2 minutes it felt like we had known each other for a long time.

Nicole worked hard to achieve the images I wanted.Even lying in a cold bath with the tinyist of bikinis

I hope to shoot with Nicole in the future.

Do I recommend Nicole?Too right I do.

Natural Light Spaces

Nicole is no stranger to the studio and we were over the moon when she agreed to do a model day.

Great coms, an amazing sense of humour, chatty and a little crazy, what more could you want....

Nicole works so well with every photographer and adapts to each of their skill levels.

We look forward to her return and of course fully recommend her :)
