Wednesday 2 Sept 2020 - I booked a half day shoot with Nicole who I have worked with before.

The shoot from midday, was set in a flat that proved ideal for natural daylight photography. Nicole is very professional, her organisational manner, comms and directions throughout faultless.

On the day, I arrived on time and Nicole was quick to settle me in with a much welcome cup of tea. I work freestyle and am totally adaptable and available to whatever Nicole could suggest and we discussed what we would do on the day.

Costume changes chosen this was mixed with nude options and various shooting styles. I do like to work with what Nicole is comfortable with, and add she is totally comfortable with being nude, in fact proves to be more relaxed.

Nicole is gorgeous with a body to die for, and a built in awareness of capture perspective that serves her well. She is the epitome of erotic sensual femininity display, with a naughty knowing dismissive smile.

The shoot itself was amazing, and Nicole was totally engaging and supportive throughout. We had given a lot of time for shooting, and it is something I would now recommend. Nicole is the perfect host, and it was time well spent just being with her again.

Nicole on recommendation, because of her vast knowledge and experience is a must to all photographers whatever level you are at. Nicole also simply lives, breathes, and thoroughly enjoys what she does and there is no better.

Nicole, thank you for the wonderful day, making me feel really special, and I look forward to when we shoot again - Henry.

I had the utter pleasure of attending Nicole's Guys Cliffe Midsummer styled event on Sunday. Wow! What can I say, Nicole and all involved had really pulled out all of the stops to create a really beautiful set of sets and looks for the attendees to work with. Nicole herself is an absolute gem! What a genuinely lovely person and a super talented and emotive model. Nicole's ability to move through poses is a wonder to behold!

I already have plans to work with Nicole again in the North and would thoroughly recommend both Nicole's fabulous events and working with her directly.

Thank you Nicole and the team for a wonderful morning.

Your mam say's you are pretty? Yeah pretty awesome! Great to work with Nicole on a group shoot she had arranged at Guys Cliffe House, Warwick with Ivory Flame and Cariad Celis, what a privilage to work with such a dream team of flawless models. Nicole is fun to work with and knows all the best poses just turn up and shoot to get amazing results what's not to love. My shots from the event have already been accepted for publication - so it's not just me that thinks the girls are amazing, thanks for a special day Nicole!

Ivory Flame

Loved working again with Nicole on the wonderful Midsummer's Dream theme she organised in the ground of Guys Cliffe.

This time is was all about stunning gowns, billowing fabrics, gorgeous props, dreamy looks, creative fashion, smoke-bombs and sassiness! It was a hot weekend, but we used the gorgeous weather to our advantage, and had so much fun producing fantastic images, from beautiful romantic portraits and emotive storytelling, to eye-catching drama and enchanting cinematic scenes! :-D

Nicole did a fab job of organising the event, facilitating it all safely with social distancing rules, welcoming the photographers (who were all lovely), and of course she is a stunning model on top of it all, full of great energy, humour and cheer, giving 100% to every shot! Such a powerhouse!! Thank you Nicole ♥

What can I say that hasn't been said before Nicole is one of the best and I got to shoot with her again on the Midsummer Dreams event she created which was just amazing, with lots of different styles to choose from and two other amazing models Cariad Celis and Ivory Flame made for an all round brilliant afternoon.Highly Recommended

My first shoot since March, and what a way to dust off the camera at a great event hosted by Nicole at Guys Cliffe.

As always Nicoles enthusiasm always to the fore, being the 'boss' keeping the event running smoothly, and safely in these times.

A wonderful array of gowns made by Cariad presented some wonderful opportunities, and we made a number of great images around the grounds.

I cannot say more than has already been said regarding Nicoles modelling - if you've shot with her you'll know. If not why not? Read the refs below and book yourself an awesome shoot!

As ever highly recommended and looking forward to our next shoot opportunity, plans are slowly developing :)

Just had another fabulous shoot with Nicole on her Midsummer Dreams event at Guy's Cliffe. Nicole always delivers and this time it was a fully styled event with three outstanding models. Loving the diversity of images we created. Thank you Nicole and well done on another brilliant event.

Had another fabulous shoot with Nicole. Nicole organised a wonderful styled event with 3 superb models, herself, Cariad Cellis and Ivory Flame, at the stunning Guys Cliffe location.

As always, Nicole was a bundle of fun and energy, full of great ideas and wonderful poses. I love shooting with this lady.

Highly recommended.

If you haven't shot with Nicole, you should!

Looking forward to the next time.

Nicole is an amazing model. Comms were excellent after she responded to my casting while I was in her area. We shot outdoors to start including Nicole climbing and posing in a tree! Then indoors where she showed her flexibility with some amazing poses on the window ledge. Her photographic knowledge was invaluable as we then experimented with bodyscape shots. We had a good laugh and I hope to shoot with her again. Highly recommended to any photographer.

Nicole and have had this shoot in the planing for a few weeks and the stars didn't align right until yesterday and I'm so glad they did.It was one of her first proper shoots with social distancing after lockdown we did a beach shoot then a country shoot at a farm.

Nicole was at the top of her game with the posing jumping of bales of hay and clinging to rocks never a dull moment with this young lady, she is fabulous model who's work as a photographer and a model with other photographers I admire immensely. I love working with her which shows in the work we do together and she has become a good friend and one who's critique and praise I take on board.

Highly recommend by me but you don't need me to tell you that as the images speak volumes.

I was so pleased that the beautiful Nicole came to Spain to shoot. I’ve worked with Nicole before and I adore shooting with her. Her in-depth knowledge of photography and posing is just phenomenal. She gives that extra mile to create those beautiful images . I’m pleased I can call this wonderful lady my friend. And images you create with Nicole are amazing! Thank you Nicole x

I had the pleasure of posing with Nicole a few times in the last few days. She is an incredible poser, watching her move is better than any top Netflix show!

She also helped me with makeup, styling and many other things at shoots.

Thank you, Nicole!!

I had a shoot with Nicole today, it was my 1st shoot with her and it was an absolute pleasure. Everyone was great and the time went too quickly.

She is really helpful and has lot of cool ideas and it was a really relaxed shoot and I'd highly recommend her to photographers of every level.

I know that I'd very much like to work with Nicole again.

Paul Allen

Well what a shoot I had with Nicole today, it was my 1st shoot with her a total professional, such a pleasure to work with. She puts you totally at ease, her input and interest in what images you are taking was such a great help to me and so much appreciated.

I hope that in the future I'll have the pleasure to work with Nicole.

Had a great shoot with Nicole.

She is a very warm person and easy to work with. She does her best to make a shoot an enjoyable, collaborative experience and is a joy to work with.

I recommend her to wholeheartedly and look forward to working with her again, in the future.

Yesterday i had my 2nd productive shoot at Nicole`s photography palace . Exceptionally beautiful , very photogenic , lovely to talk to , and very easy to work with. and never seems to run out of idears or different poses.

This time we managed to achieve a few silhouettes , bohemian theme , high key , handstands , art nude etc , which were totally different from my previous shoot with Nicole.

Very highly recommended , and i would love to work with Nicole again in the future.

Nicole was one of the first models I photographed when I started model photography. Sadly, our paths never crossed again until today. And I have to say that I'm delighted with the results.

Nicole is one of the most impressive models I've ever worked with. Yes, she's exceptionally beautiful, but she's also a great model. She understands photography and posing, so it's remarkable easy to work with her. She needs absolutely no direction.

As well as being a fabulous model, she's lovely to work with. Nicole has a great passion for modelling and has strong philosophical views on modelling (we had some very interesting conversations on the nature of model photography). Working with her was an education itself. She'd make a great teacher.

Of course I'd recommend Nicole to photographers of all levels of expertise. You couldn't possibly find a better model.

not the first, deffo wont be the last.. just enjoyed another couple of hours with the bundle of fun that is Nicole Rayner..

I don't need to say much more, just look at her port, her works belting, her banters great, shes a posing machine and 2 hours just really isnt enough..

Yorkshires loss is Suffolk's gain... Thanks for a great shoot and some cracking (for me) images

2W Location

Two days solid with Nicole - and there's nothing not to like. Two Wei played host to Nicole's two day modelling event last weekend. She'd meticulously planned the event with us some time ago which ensured it went smoothly despite being thrown a curve ball just before the first day!

Nicole is a joy to be around, everyone loved her and above all she enabled those attending to capture some fantastic and creative images. We do hope her move further south doesn't preclude a return visit in the near future and needless to say, she's recommended without reservation by us.

After an age had passed from our first shoot, finally got chance to work together again at the wonderful studio.....Two Wei Location House.

All the pre shoot coms were great and I picked Nicole up at the nearest station and we headed off for the shoot.

Two Wei is such an amazing location and ideal for Nicole to show off her considerable talents.If it had not been so cold,I'm sure we would have made much more of the grounds.....but the house is so fabulous that we had plenty of scope.

That said,Nicole was brave enough to defy the cold a little to do a couple of little sets outside, which was a nice bonus and added to the great variety that we were able to cover.

Nicole is great fun and supremely talented,making life easy for me and we worked our way through numerous sets.......added bonus was an extra 2 hours at the end of the day due to a cancellation......where we benefited. from some fab natural light.

Thoroughly enjoyed my day with Nicole....a beautiful young lady and super friendly, therefore...my very high recommendation .......book her, you will not be disappointed .

Thank you very much Nicole for a fantastic day
