It has been the most incredible privilege to photograph Rachelle on three occasions during her pregnancy. I feel really honoured to have done it.

Rachelle was so full of life throughout, full of poses and ideas, infract exactly the same as she was before and I sure the same as she will be when she returns to modelling.

The images show what great results with a good model even while she is pregnant.

Take the next couple of weeks off.

I was fortunate to work with Rachelle on one of her last castings for maternity shoots. I was keen to work with her while she was still pregnant and after some problems with studio availability and my diary she was kind enough to fit me in before a shoot already scheduled. Rachelle is a true professional. How she can have so much energy at this late stage in her pregnancy is beyond belief. She was full of life, and we managed to produce an incredible number of superb images. Helped by the wonderful sets at Fareham Studios the time shot by as we moved between them. Thank you Rachelle for allowing me to help document such a special part of your journey. Best wishes

Glad I was able to be part of the "Bump on Tour" series of photoshoots Rachelle has been doing over the last few months. We did a remote photoshoot, and thanks to Mr Summers assisting with lights and holding the camera when needed to get the right height and angle for some shots, as well as keeping the remote side running smoothly. In the two hours, we managed to get several looks, and I am pleased to have tried out a maternity photoshoot for the first time with such a great team.

Absolutely brilliant photo session this afternoon with Rachelle. Great vibe and energy in the room, amazing model to work with who just "knows....". Managed to get some amazing images, absolutely loved working with Rachelle. Hope she comes back up North soon, if not, I may have head south, and endure a nosebleed as I cross the Scotland/England border!

Always a pleasure to shoot with the wonderful Rachelle ( this time with baby on board ) we shot in an Edinburgh air b and b . As always we got the shots I was hoping for plus always good chat .

Fantastic 1-2-1 studio session with the heavily pregnant Rachelle Summers at Loud Photography. Rachelle, as always, was very helpful in the pre-session correspondence and very friendly throughout. We shot a mixture of maternity fashion and art nude and Rachelle's great experience showed at all times, working with ideas and moving from pose to pose, requiring little in the way of direction. Lots of great images created.

Highly recommended.

Had a second maternity shoot with Rachelle at Fareham Studios. ‘Bump’ was making more of an appearance second time around. Takes after mum definitely wanted to be in the shots!

I came with quite a complete brief for the shoot. But Rachelle absolutely nailed it.

We covered a mix of genres and I’m pleased with the results.

Thanks Rachelle

Did a bump shoot with Rachelle in Fareham Studio for a day last weekend and had a fantastic time. A+ game as always with Rachelle, and even with the big bump was still on for all kinds of setups and shoot styles.

Highly recommended from me, bump or not, but get that maternity shoot in with her now if you're considering it!

I had a remote shoot with Rachelle the other day and was so happy with it. We had done one several years ago and I forgot how easy it was to shoot with her. This was a pregnancy shoot so she was somewhat limited in the poses she could do (not a problem) and she looks lovely. We had good conversations before the shoot about what we wanted and I think we got everything we wanted, and seeing the pictures I know I was extremely satisfied.

Rachelle is a wonderful person, let alone model, and I certainly recommend her and will shoot with her again. Thank you Rachelle.

Had just complete a successful maternity portrait session with Rachelle, this time it was remote tethered at Zoi’s studio in the Netherlands. I wanted to ensure a maternity session with Rachelle just incase her Edinburgh tour didn’t happen. We created some beautiful nude bodyscapes, Rachelle worked well in some difficult poses to achieve great results. Thank Rachelle for a great photo session, highly recommended.

I had just the most amazing bump shoot with Rachelle. 33.5 weeks pregnant and looking radiant and full of energy. We have often shot in person in the past but this remote shoot was flawless and the fabulous Zoi helped so much with sets, lighting and comms. Can’t speak too highly about this as I got so many fabulous images and had a great experience. Looking forward to shooting again in person and also doing some more remote shoots at this studio.

Dreaming of Models Photo Location

After having heard about Rachelle for over a decade finally got the chance to meet her in person. I hosted her and her partner for 3 nights while she spent two days modelling at my studio space for some maternity shoots. She is obviously a very skilled and experienced model who has lots to bring to the table. She is extremely well organised and was always perfectly on time and presentable for the six shoots that she had booked in over the weekend. She is kind and friendly and was a pleasure to spend the weekend with. Cant recommend her enough.

I had a wonderful second shoot with Rachelle (albeit with a 10+ year gap!) while she was on tour. The shoot flew by and was very relaxed and fun. As you would expect she has grown so much as a model since our first shoot and she’s the ultimate professional with her organisation, communication and her creativity during the shoot.

If you have the chance to work with Rachelle don’t hesitate!

I have been shooting with Rachelle for over 10 years now and she's truly one of the best models I've ever worked with. I enjoyed our most recent shoot this week which was a maternity/bump shoot at an Airbnb Rachelle had hired. Pregnancy hasn't slowed her down one bit and she always works hard to get the most out of the shoot and to make sure that you leave with some fantastic images.

Highly recommended to work with as Rachelle is very professional, reliable, friendly and a pleasure to work with.

Had a wonderful Bump shoot with Rachelle at an Air BnB that she had booked in Stockport, comms where all good and I arrived at 2:50pm with a 3 o'clock start.

It was nice to catch up since our last shoot was at Two Wei 16 months ago!! (Where dose the time go) I got some amazing images, which I can't wait edit.

Her partner Mark was on hand to help with lighting and Coffee's and Ceaser the frenchie was on hand to eat any left over biscuits.

Highly recommended by me, hopefully are paths will cross again in the future.

I had the pleasure of working with Rachelle Summers for the first time 1-2-1 at my Monkey Sanctuary studio in Warrington while she was on her northern tour. Pre shoot comms were perfect (professional, organised, prompt, and informative). Rachelle came to the studio from a previous shoot and still arrived early giving us time to catch up and discuss ideas etc before getting started Rachelle had kindly agreed to wear my choice of outfits but still came came very well prepared with a super selection of outfits and that fitted her current mum to be look and my requests perfectly.

Rachelle is genuinely such a lovely person with so much talent, creativeness, and passion about her craft. It was such a chilled and relaxed afternoon as if we had worked together many times before. Throughout the shoot Rachelle was full of energy with a ‘can do’ attitude putting 110% effort into every shot. Rachelle not only poses effortlessly but she also has an amazing eye for the fine details ensuring she brings any idea or concept to life with an amazing Wow factor.

If you are lucky enough to work with this fantastic young lady, then you’re in for an amazing shoot. Highly recommended to photographers, studios and event’s organisers.

Thanks for travelling up to work with me and for all your hard work and patience. Im looking forward to working with you again very soon :)

One of the best models you could shoot with, and absolutely lovely too.

This was our third shoot and different because it was a maternity shoot : wonderful images aplenty, as per usual.

Thank you !

Rachelle is a thoroughly experienced and talented professional model, whose extensive portfolio and large mass of positive references speak for themselves.

I had previously worked with Rachelle both in studios and outdoors on location, but this shoot was a little different because It was a natural nudes in nature maternity shoot in the New Forest. While I work almost exclusively outdoors, in a wide range of locations, I have never before worked with a model in the latter stages of pregnancy.

For this reason, I wasn’t entirely sure how much walking over rough ground to include in the half day’s shooting, and whether to limit my requests for posing to straightforward flat terrain. I should have known better! Indeed, Rachelle was able to work every bit as hard as usual and with as much energy, enthusiasm and commitment to securing the best images. Pregnancy was clearly not slowing her down!

We completed an interesting circuit through the forest, which incorporated both open landscape vistas, and areas covered with beautiful trees.

I was absolutely delighted with the Images we secured, and cannot wait to start selecting and editing them.

Naturally, it goes without saying, that I very highly recommend working with Rachelle to other photographers of all ranges of experience and ability.

I've shot Rachelle so many times over the years but never have I seen her looking so good. It is true what they say about a pregnant woman 'glowing' and Rachelle is the epitome of this.

If you've not shot a pregnant model before I would thoroughly recommend Rachelle but not before I've shot her again.
