I had a two hour shoot with Rachelle at Barlow's Studio today. I have been wanting to shoot with Rachelle for many years, but with work etc always getting in the way, it has been a long, but worthwhile wait. Rachelle arrived well on time, and was ready to go as I setting up my gear. Professional, extremely well turned out and organised, Rachelle moved from one pose to another effortlessly, as I would have expected from a model of her caliber and with her extensive experience. We only really had time for about three costume changes, but we produced some exceptionally pleasing and quality images. Apart from suggesting starting and ending points for each costume change/scene, I had very little need to direct Rachelle, she works very intuitively and needed no direction at all. Unfortunately, I had to attend a meeting a good few hours drive away in the afternoon, or I would most certainly have booked Rachelle for much longer. I can thoroughly recommend Rachelle to any photographer, chatty, interesting and with a good sense of humour, our two hour session went all too quickly. But, as I have said, we produced some really pleasing images. It goes without saying that I hope to work with Rachelle again in the near future..thank you Rachelle, you were fantastic! Best wishes..David

I had my 4th photo shoot with Rachelle today, this time at Barlow Studio near Chesterfield. Rachelle posed without direction effortlessly, she is a great model to shoot with, and nothing was too much trouble when asked to pose this way and that way. I recommend Rachelle to all photographers, and certainly looking forward to our next shoot, in what has become an annual event around Christmas time. Thank you for another great shoot Rachelle, we got some great images once again. x

Having worked with Rachelle only briefly on a event, I thought it made good sense to work with her again while she was on tour in the Netherlands. So I took up the opportunity to do a shoot at the location that she had rented for the occasion.

Rachelle showed that she is even more versatile than I thought! From fashion - she was looking spectacular in the dress that she had brought along - all the way to art nude; you ask and she delivers. Sitting still or jumping high, being pretty or strongly emotive - she is glad to do so!

So yes, recommended.

Rachelle is a photographers dream, she has poise and presence before the camera and translates ideas into a natural flow of poses, but she is constructive too with ideas and suggestions making for a positive and rewarding shoot. Rachelle is bright, articulate, fun to be around and our time together was an enriching experience which I hope we can repeat!

Rachelle is a super model to work with and these brand new locations around Las Vegas and surrounding deserts and canyons were simply stunning. She was inspired by the amazing surroundings to really come up with ever more creative and fun ideas to enhance the locations. Thank you Rachelle!

I have just returned from Rachelle's trip to Vegas, an outstanding experience that really demonstrates the huge amount of hard work she puts into the locations, styling and other aspects of the trips. Along side that she is also putting in 100% to the modelling on the trips. We shot a huge variety of images in a whole range of different styles and Rachelle always delivered exceptional poses, ideas and opportunities for me to get great images. From glam cowgirl, dynamic art nudes and crazy leaps on a dry lake bed. I just have to sort through several thousand amazing shots now :-) Rachelle is professional and amazingly well organised and great company on our travels between locations. Highly Highly recommended.

Shot with Rachelle on her Summers Abroad event to Vegas. Not the first time that we have worked together, and doubt that it’ll be the last.

Rachelle delivers consistently across a range of styles. Whether duo in a small room, fashion on the streets or art nude on location. Rachelle is determined that the photographer captures some great images. Willing to contribute ideas to take the images to another level.

Left the trip with yet more great images added to the editing back catalogue.

Looking forward to the next time that we are able to shoot together.

Highly recommended to all photographers

Back from another excellent trip with Rachelle Summers, this time the summers abroad crew took us to Vegas Navada... Epic.

Rachelle as always professional organised and puts up with us asking questions she has already answered and printed out a hard copy and sent by email! Patience of a Saint ;) from Ghost town with snaks in freezers, sand duns, posing in very uncomfortable conditions to say the least to get some amazing looking images not easy, but being a trooper would put her fiscal discomforts aside⭐ finished up zip lining fremont Street exhilarating end to an epic trip.

Take a look at the Japan trip summers abroad have pland for next year amazing stuff to look forward to. As always 100%recommended. X

Recently shot with Rachelle on her Summers Abroad trip to Vegas! Knowing some of the effort she puts into arranging these trips and then keeping everything organised I'm amazed she has the energy left to do any modelling, but she does, and boy, is she good at it :) From Vegas street fashion, to elegant parachute dresses, to beautiful nude desert shapes, to standing on an old van in a ghost town in a panda head she nailed them all and we got some amazing images!

She is also wonderful company with a great sense of humour and I look forwards to the next time I get a chance to work with her. Just in case you haven't guessed, highly recommended!!

Rachelle messaged me nearly 3 years ago, and every time a tour or event came up I’ve had to decline for whatever reason, and every time I’ve regretted it... But then she dangled her Summers Abroad trip to Las Vegas in front of me and I had to go for it!

I was more than a little intimidated to finally meet and shoot with Rachelle, I needn’t have been, her wonderful personality set me at ease straight away.

There’s approaching 1500 references here, I’m pretty sure I can’t add anything that hasn’t been said a hundred times already! I knew I’d get some great images, I just didn’t know it would be almost every time the shutter clicked.

Hopefully I’ll have the chance to shoot again in the not too distant future!

The pocket rocket that is Rachelle Summers is frigging awesome in every way.

I've snapped Rachelle a few times now so I knew what I was in for when booking the summers abroad trip to Vegas. The locations that were scouted before our arrival were perfect and guaranteed everybody came away with amazing images.

The planning that goes into one of trips is phenomenal and so well executed. I can't thank you enough for letting me be a part this awesomeness. Thankyou also to Mr Summers for working tirelessly around the clock from cooking meals morning noon and night and doing all the driving to all the amazing locations.

Thanks again.....Dx

An epic trip to Vegas with Rachelle and Summers Abroad. She'd sold me the trip months ago with the list of locations and the trip did not disappoint.

This reference is about Rachelle as I've already left one for Summers Abroad so...

Always a pleasure to shoot with Rachelle. I think we got some epic shots that I think surpass anything else I've shot with Rachelle be it on other trips or shoots with her. Always funny on set, but as soon as she's in front of the camera she gives epic poses that show she's a true professional model that everyone wants to shoot with. Always feels a relaxed shoot whenever I shoot with Rachelle. Glad that I've gotten to shoot with her several times over the last few years either during events or shoots of her own.

As always, highly recommended from me.

When I heard from Rachelle, at the beginning of the year, she had planned a photographic holiday to somewhere I have always wanted to see, Las Vegas, it was a no-brainer.

Excellent host, fantastic locations, and great company, what more could you ask for.

Rachelle has an attention to detail that is renowned amongst people who have any professional contact with her, and I must mention Mark, her partner in all of this, who cooks, drives, and is basically on hand to help with everything.

Oh yeah, almost forgot the modelling, oops -;)

As I have previously shot with Rachelle, I knew to expect the high level of creative talent, and beauty, that Rachelle has.

Nicole Rayner was the second model, but that's for another reference!

People might say, ah a bit costly for this kind of holiday.... But honestly worth every penny, if you are considering future trips from Summersabroad, I can very highly recommend it, you will not be disappointed!

Many thanks Rachelle :-)

Although I have worked with Rachelle a few times before we had never shot in a studio so when I had the opportunity to shoot with her at Aura studio I jumped at the chance.

We decided together to shoot some classic art nude which Rachelle just excelled at giving one exquisite pose after another.

We explored many themes and still had time to do some edgy fashion as well.

All in all a superb 2 hours of photography and I hope I will be able to shoot again with her in the near future.

Rachelle is very highly recommended.

I have worked with Rachelle many times and always get some great images, so I was very pleased to have an opportunity work with her again at Aura studio. We only had two hours this time but we still managed to do some beautiful work and as always Rachelle was a joy to work with. I had no pre-set plans as I knew that with Rachelle I could just turn up and we would come up with some great ideas between the two of us. And that is how it worked out - we discussed a few ideas, tried some things out, experimented with props, lighting and costume, and created a bunch of fine images.

A joy as always, and of course hugely recommended.

Oh we had so much fun at her studio day at Aura Studio in Suffolk!

It had been a while since our last shoot, but once I knew she was in the area, I was excited to be working with Rachelle again.

She works so hard at creating a huge variety of poses whether in outfits or nude. For part of this shoot I wanted more of a seductive look, and Rachelle had no problem in delivering just that!

I had also bought along 2 Samuri Swords to use in a Fashion/Editorial style, and she wielded these like a pro, even performing fantastic dance jumps with sword in hand, repeating the jumps seemingly without effort!

Although I was mainly shooting with my digital camera, I also used my much loved Hasselblad 503CW Medium Format camera and Kodak Portrait 160 film. This required a more considered approach using manual focus and composing the shot where the image is reversed in the viewfinder! This didn't deter Rachelle one bit, and I'm so looking forward to having the film processed.

Rachelle is a natural beauty with one of the clearest complexions I have seen, and her long experience with endless varieties of poses and creativity makes working with her such a joy.

I absolutely loved this shoot with her, and I have no hesitation in recommending her 100% to all levels of photographers. Thank you Rachelle for keeping the modelling flame alive!

What shall I say that has not yet been said before?

Well, she's a pro, no doubt about that! BUT on top she's chatty, a super poser, a perfect model and great company throughout the day! Together with her husband Mark we had a great time on and off set!

There is only one thing that makes things a bit complicated, what image to select? I have hardly had a shooting where the yield was so large!

Amazing!!

So, try to book her, she is worth it!!

I will go for another one with her 2020, I hope she has a slot for me....

Thank you Rachelle for this shooting, you made my day (you know why!!)

A great shoot with Rachelle - relaxed a professional; open to my ideas.

Can't wait to shoot with her again!

Kajamera

Rachelle is a top model! Enthusiastic, creative and full of life, a professional poser! ;)

If you haven't hired her before, BOOK HER NOW!! SHE's BLOODY GOOD!!!

I attended a 70’s Stepford Wives themed event organised by Rachelle at the Hacienda studios along with Scarlett Fox & Nicole Rayner.

As soon as I walked in it was clear to see the extraordinary amount of creative effort Rachelle had put into organising this. The sets included retro furnishings, props and even flooring / carpet design. On top of this Rachelle had organised an extensive wardrobe full of dazzling neon 70’s colours that wouldn't have looked out of place for a Hollywood production.

I brought a few props along which Rachelle & the other two models really got the most out of.

Rachelle & the other models completely nailed the mood board poses and her familiarity with the concept made my job incredibly easy with barely any direction needed. Her pre-shoot comms were also first class.

Wouldn’t hesitate to recommend Rachelle’s creative and modelling talents - really hope to work with her again sometime soon.
