Also is very knowledgeable with regards to lighting and the technical side of things

Amazing. That is the first word that comes to mind if I have to describe the shoot with Rachelle. She is energetic, open to ideas, participative, friendly and is absolute delight to work with. We have been discussing about shooting since last year, but this is the first time I shot with Rachelle. And there are definitely going to be many more. Very highly recommended:) :)

It’s almost exactly five years since I first shot with Rachelle – almost all of my shooting life – and what better way to celebrate than spending a week shooting on her new venture – Summers Abroad – organised by her and husband Mark? Also, she’d be working with tour wife Tillie – the dream team!

With twelve hundred and odd positive references to her name there’s little original to add! She remains a wonderfully professional and friendly creative who just knows how to get “that” shot first time and who remains as much fun to work, rest, play and laugh with at the end of a week as she was at the start. She is still a total joy to work with and after all this time, the fantastic images are still as fresh, fabulous and plentiful as ever.

As Dr Johnson might have said, “If you’re tired of shooting Rachelle, you’re tired of life”!

I’m looking forward to shooting with her again for the umpteenth time in a few weeks, and in the meantime, I totally recommend her to photographers everywhere.

Thanks for a fantastic shoot and holiday, see you soon, Rachelle!

We have worked with Rachelle many times and it is always a delight. She creates lovely poses and we get many wonderful pictures. On location, she determinedly seeks out the best spots for her poses. We love her fun, and direct, north of England manner.

This was my third shoot with Rachelle and it further confirms that Rachelle is without doubt one of the best models working today.

Rachelle has impeccable style and an appreciation for image creation with an eye for what makes a good photo. Her makeup and appearance are perfect. Rachelle poses wonderfully and any direction I could offer was minimal.

I highly recommend Rachelle for your next shoot, you won't be disappointed.

Another fantastic shoot with this one, we always nail it and with very little effort it seems. We just bounce a few ideas around then wing it and between us it always seems to come good.

Most of the shoot is spent nattering or in fits of giggles and the journey home tends to have it's moments too.

I call her my Bestie not only because we are really good friends but also she is just the best at what she does.

Looking forward to her next visit in June. I know were going to have a blast.

Yet another great shoot with the one and only Rachelle – and her touring partner Tillie! Back in the day – about 5 years ago in Rachelle’s case – booking a “model” or even on to a studio day was a big thing for me. But it was the right thing, and five years and many shoots on, we’ve had so many shoots, great laughs, and produced some great stuff (well, I think so!). A lovely person to spend time with – usually time flies away!

I suppose I should wax lyrical about professionalism, friendliness, great poses, insane desire to get undressed and into water, but it’s been said, many times before. And it’s all true. For my part, I’m off to shoot her abroad next week. So that’s what I think!

Can’t recommend highly enough!

Thanks, Rachelle! :)

Well, over 4 years since our last shoot my calendar allowed me to arrange another shoot with Rachelle. It was certainly not a disappointment !

I picked her up from the station where she arrived with makeup done (to a very high standard) and was ready to shoot once we arrived at the studio and decided on the outfits.

We shot a high number of fantastic images, Rachelle is even better than I remembered, a great model who can pose with or without direction.

She is very professional but at the same time easy going and good fun to be around.

Rachelle has always been one of my fave models as she was one of the first top models I got to shoot with a number of years ago. She was fab back then and is even better now.

This was my second shoot with Rachelle, this time both on location and indoors. Very little direction was necessary as Rachelle seamlessly moves for one pose to another. The shoot was very enjoyable and time passed very quickly.

Cannot praise her enough and I can easiluy recommend her to fellow photographers

Got to shoot with Rachelle for the second time, exactly a year on from our first one. The level was set high after that, as many medal-winning shots came from it.

I had nothing to fear, as there was definitely medal-winners captured yesterday. Rachelle rocked an old georgian residential venue in Dublin City. We even struggled to get through to everywhere we wanted to have a set at because we kept finding more and more places.

The collaboration with Rachelle is just amazing. She knows the type of exhibition shots I want, and gives her thoughts on almost every set we start after a couple of shots, to make sure we were nailing it.

Such a hard collaborative worker, and absolutley great to be around in general. Same time next year!? 😊😊

This was my first shoot with Rachelle and it certainly won't be the last. I hadn't worked with or contacted Rachelle before but when I met her she was such a pleasant confident young lady.

Her professionalism on a shoot is spectacular and boy does she know how to work that camera. I had 2 other photographers with me on this shoot in a brand new location and I certainly have a few keeper images from this shoot. Rachelle helped create some stunning poses with the props available to us.

I hope to work with her again in the near future and I most highly recommend Rachelle for your next shoot.

This was my first shoot with Rachelle and if was just fantastic.

Rachelle is a true professional and needs no direction.

She is very creative and just flows effortlessly from one set to the next.

The day was very relaxed and fun and I'm glad you liked my taste in music.

Hope to see you and work with you again soon.

I think your work and professionalism is recommendation enough.

I've worked with several other models and in my humble opinion, Rachelle stands out among them! I had the pleasure to work with Rachelle for the second time and, I can only say that her personality and professionalism are outstanding.

Rachelle seems to always know what I, has a photographer, am looking for. She needs no direction, holds poses like a warrior has a sense of humor, doesn't complain and she will give a huge amount of "keepers".

I truly recommend Rachelle Summers.

I was lucky enough to work with Rachelle twice this week. Our first shoot was a location shoot for a panel of location art nude I'm working on. Literally the first image posed is a panel image. We had shot on near by cliffs before, but to work with a model that can nail the shot and communicate as well as Rachelle just makes for a very enjoyable experience.

That morning session was also a duo shoot with Mischkah Scott, and although the weather shortened the shoot, both models communicated well together to easily pulled off another great image for my panel.

The second shoot was in studio for an afternoon and we worked on a number of different sets from art nude to fashion/portrait. Again, I could relax after five minutes and another unique art nude pose in the bag. Rachelle needs no direction but is a great collaborator and is very creative on set. She also comes packed with her own great wardrobe and makeup skills, so you are guaranteed to finish up with great images.

Highly recommend working with Rachelle, and I look forward to join her on her Croatia tour in June.

Like many others Rachelle was high on my wish list to work with and this is one model who is always booked up. Within minutes of working together it's not difficult to see why she is so popular. Rachelle is a perfect demonstration of what a professional model should be like, posing with such variety and making it look so effortless. We created some beautiful images and had some great laughs along the way. Hopefully my photography skills have done this girl credit and I very much look forward to working with her again.

I booked a two hour session with Rachelle and was first off at her Sunday shoot at Fine and DanDee studio. She is petite, very professional and has a head of hair to die for. As I am sure many people must have mentioned before, she is gorgeous. I have posted ten images onto PP which other people are making favorable comments on, so thank you Rachelle, and if you are a photographer and lucky enough to have a chance to book her, go for it.
