Fun shoot in Bedford with four models. Rachelle is very easy to work with, great personality, good leadership skills too (hosted the shoot). Would be delighted to work with her again.

We went to the Bedford Belles weekend which Rachelle organised. We always enjoy working with Rachelle and it was no surprise that the event was well organised. Rachelle always works hard and looks amazing with plenty of wonderful facial expressions. Highly recommended.

Another shoot with one of my long-time partners-in-crime at the Bedford Belles event – a sort of Summers at Home event! Rachelle hadn’t changed – well it had only been a week – but the styling was fantastic, the choice of models worked really well, and of course, Mr R Summers was on hand to refresh that which needed refreshing!

Excellent event, fantastic model, unreservedly recommended, both for modelling, and styling and event management!

I have shot with Rachelle so many times, both in this country and abroad, sometimes on one of her Summers Abroad trips.

This time it was on her Belles of Bedford shoot in a fascinating Victorian Hotel near, surprise, surprise, Bedford.

It is now very plain that I love shooting with her and also on events which she.....and Mark!!!...organise.

She had arranged for three other models to be available for the shoot and they were such an interesting contrast yet in harmony.

My photography is going a bit odd these days, but Rachelle throws herself into it and either says ,"Oh my God, no!" Or comes up with ideas that give the ideas a kick into life.

The other models, Nicole Rayner, Gem and Cariad were kind and helpful and made the day totally enjoyable and productive.

You will gather I recommend Rachelle totally. She is not just a brilliant model and a lovely person but an example of what it takes to be a successful model .

I was part of a group of photographers on Rachelles Bedford Belles event which was brilliantly organised by her.

As well as Rachelle there where 3 other models (one of whom I have shot with before) and the photography took place in the most stunning of locations.

Food was cooked by Rachelle & her partner Mark.This was unforgettable event one of my first and hopefully not my last.Highly recommended,awesome you two.

The long drive from Warrington to Bedford was rewarded by, as Rachelle promised, a stunning unique location with three other top models who were equally motivated and enthralled by this superb property.

There were so many costumes available from formal corset style 'Elizabethan' dresses so sheer that you had to be told that the model was actually wearing anything!!!

All models, without exception, proposed nude shots with creative concepts from the experience they had gained from previous camera back previews.

Many top models are accomplished and talented photographers and can give you good advice on creating something different, if you are prepared to listen!!

Rachelle and Mark are a formidable team and Mark is has become a photographer to compete with!

Never cheap. But guarantee you will not find any better organised trips or events. You get a lot more than you could ever expect!

Try: "Summers Abroad" for a 5* plus experience!

Having know Rachelle for coming up on three years and having shot on various shoots with her either as a model or with a group of models, Rachelle still always helps me capture amazing shots. She's runs events with a passion, has her makeup always to a high standard or other models makeup to a high stand too if she's helping them during events or tours, will literally bend over backward to get a pose if she can do it, will give you feedback on shots and try to improve on them after seeing BOC shots and is basically a great human being. Both her and Mark make a great team (with Mark himself capturing BTS, but also getting some stunning shots and making a name for himself as a photographer too). Always a pleasure to shoot with Rachelle (and enjoy Mark's cooking too). As always, highly recommended model and team.

I had the most awesome day shooting with Rachelle and three other lovely models at a large country house over the weekend. The shoot was very well organised and the Belles of Bedford had a great relaxing atmosphere. Rachelle is professional as well as being a lovely model with whom to work as her 1400+ references justify! Highly recommended and looking forward to working with her again soon.

I had the absolute please of working with Rachelle again on a full day location shoot in & around Bala Lake, North Wales. Rachelle is an absolute star & a true professional. Everything she does is geared up to getting you the perfect image. With her wealth of experience she knows the perfect posses for each location, lighting situation etc.

At the afternoons location unfortunately Rachelle reacted to something she had sat on & came out very quickly in a rash with to use her words her ass was on fire. Did this stop this professional, no way, far from it just let me get in that stream now if you wanted poses of me in the water you are going to get them. Yes even in this situation she has a fantastic personality & still very positive.

Thank you for a great day Rachelle. In my book one of if not the best model on PP.

Another shoot with the lovely Rachelle! This time in the beautiful scenery of North Wales, where she is simply in her element. Quite simply, Rachelle is a beautiful, professional, friendly and energetic model who is a constant delight to work with, time and time again!

I can only recommend her unreservedly yet again! Be you seasoned professional or struggling to switch your camera on, Rachelle will come up trumps!

Not that is actually needed on Rachelle's portfolio but it's long overdue this reference.

I've worked with Rachelle a few times in the past, and the reason I keep photographing her is simple, she is extremely good at her job. This time around I took Rachelle's offer to shot in her apartment, and after explaining that I've never done such, was put completely at ease by her. She send me images of the location and let me know she was also traveling with her own lights and I was free to use them.

The shoot went above my expectations. I am truly pleased with this my first experience and final images.

Needless to say, it's a yes for me :)

Shoot number 4 with Ms. Summers :) I don't say it lightly but it was THE BEST so far! I have been reviewing the images over the last 24 hours and I have a rule I don't hit 5/5 on an image until after Photoshop and I am convinced. I hit 5 all over the place on first review because I know they are spot on! I may have more 5 star images from this shoot than any I have ever done :D

Rachelle is professional to her fingertips, puts everything into the shoot and is constantly innovating her own poses and shooting options. She is also such a laugh and a joy to work with!

I love her to bits and when she asked for my camera to review the back of the camera on the way home, most photographers would recoil in horror but after the shoot we had, I was only too delighted to hand the camera over :)

Highly recommended ... booked next year already :)

Thanks Rachelle x

I had the pleasure of shooting with Rachelle during her latest Irish tour. I was a bit nervous about the day as I had been out of practice for quite a while, but she made me feel completely at ease from the get-go.

Her ability as a model are of course obvious from her portfolio, but dear jesus this girl can throw out poses like I can eat ready salted crisps.

By the end of the day, it felt much less like a paid shoot, and much more like a day spent with a good friend, with lots of laughs and really chilled out.

100% would recommend Rachelle, and if she comes back to Ireland I'll be the first to book.

I have just returned from three days in the South of France in a shoot organised by Rachelle.

Everything was brilliantly organized as is inevitable when she does anything.

She is an example to other models on how to run a modelling career. But she is also a wonderful model to shoot with.

She always knows exactly what I want...no matter what it might be.

Meticulous in communication and utterly reliable.

You will gather that I am saying that if you haven't shot with her then don't wait and if you have I don't need to say more.

I have just completed a fantastic week shooting with my long-time partner in crime, Rachelle on one of her Summers Abroad holidays.

I’ve shot with her now since pretty much the first day I was allowed out on my own with a camera, and she remains full of boundless energy, good humour, enthusiasm and total commitment to a great shoot! She’s not just a great model but also an all-round great person to work with.

I can’t recommend Rachelle highly enough! If you haven’t already worked with this little dynamo – do so! If you have, do so again!! You'll not be disappointed!

Thanks for a great set of shoots, Rachelle. See you again soon!

3 days in South of France with this unique lady!

More stunning images that I know what to do with from my 3rd Summers Broad trip!

Really nothing left unsaid about Rachelle!!!!!

Yet another great shoot with Rachelle - this time it was 3 days in the south of France on one of her "Summers Abroad" trips. I've actually lost count of the number of shoots we've done now, but we keep doing more because Rachelle is not only an excellent model but she also puts in the time and effort when organising shoots to get the styling, outfits, make-up etc just right.

She is extremely well organised, and it shows in the quality of events she runs. I'm always happy with the images we create, my portfolio is full of them. Plus, of course, we always have a good laugh!

Mr Dave

I have worked with Rachelle many times now and on a number of her 'Summers Abroad' trips, the most recent being to the south of France and it was superb.

Rachelle has an endless supply of energy and poses and this makes it so easy working with her, as usual we achieved some stunning images at some really interesting locations.

Highly recommended...

Rachelle is one of the absolute best. All models can pose, everyone can communicate, most models know how to look at a camera - but every once in a while you'll find a model that can throw an expression at the camera that almost hits you physically. Rachelle is one of those models - from melancholy longing to playful, to sexy, wistful, joyful - give her a second and the right direction and she will craft any expression out of thin air, it's just beautiful to watch. I have loved every second of working with her, she's inventive, exciting, intuitive and damned hard working.

She is a bubbly little bundle of energy that is real fun to be around as well, I can't wait to work with her again, sooo very highly recommended!

Thanks Rachelle for a superb three days!
