Amazing to work with, and such a natural. Had my first shoot with Rachelle and time flew. She brought my ideas to life effortlessly, and the end results of the shoot speak for themselves.

Figure and Form

Only our second shoot with Rachelle and a 1/2 day was, once again, simply too short - we have to change that next time! She was really patient posing in front of an old 10x8 camera, a real test for any model, and she passed with flying colours. Rachelle was also brilliant on location, despite the cold weather, and braved gnarled old trees and a few nasty stinging nettles. She can create super shapes and quickly understands exactly what you are looking for.

We highly recommend Rachelle to anyone who has not yet worked with her - those that have already know how good she is!

A wonderful day, thanks Rachelle.

Had the great pleasure of working with the beautiful and adorable Rachel Summers today.

From the first moment I dragged her overly heavy case to the car I knew she had killed someone and put them in a suitcase!😂

Rachael is a beautiful and professional model who posed well and without effort, she did her own makeup to perfection which was a blessing because I’m crap at it and her outfits were great.

I was looking to shoot portraits and her facial features are a dream. I can not recommend Rachel highly enough and my dream shoot would now be Rachael and Bella Eve on a desert island with a coffee machine.

Well what can I say about Rachelle that hasn't been said before...

We met today and within about 5 minutes we were chatting away like old friends who had known each other for years, another 10 minutes passed and we were now swapping insults like best pals.

However... we also managed to squeeze in 300 shots and like Blackpool pier 'everyone's a winner'

You chat away with this awesome model, raise your camera to your eye and a totally different person appears in your viewfinder you take a couple of shots with this stranger posing in the most awesome way, lower your camera and Rachelle has reappeared dancing away to the music and singing (well she said it was singing...)

I had the most fun today on this shoot and the images are uploading to my PC at the moment, but I already know that we have some spectacular shots.

First time with Rachelle and it will certainly not be the last.

Thank you for a great shoot and a fun day.

Female Art Nudes

Just finished two days' shooting with Rachelle, one day in home/studio doing boudoir and art nude, the second out on location shooting art nude.

Rachelle does boudoir and art nude as if she was born to it. Shooting boudoir in the home, all I had to do was ask Rachelle what she had brought along to wear from my initial request (plenty more than needed was the answer!), explain what I was trying to achieve in the shot, show her where to pose, and away we went, pretty much perfect pose after perfect pose. The only thing that slowed her down was me (changing lighting, changing lenses, moving furniture...).

If you want any suggestions, she'll happily oblige and they'll be well worth listening to - she's got so much experience, I'd strongly suggest this as an approach if you're wanting an extra idea or two. :-)

Day two was an art nude location day, in Scotland, in February! Many models wouldn't even be prepared to undertake this, let alone with an outward show of keenness :-) I gave Rachelle a number of opportunities to take the indoor option, but she wanted to give the outdoor location shoots a try. I'm delighted she did because we got some great images :-)

Outdoors, it was sunny but windy and we had plenty of dog walkers to avoid... The necessity, for both, was therefore to work very quickly. I showed Rachelle where I wanted her to pose and the concept for the shot and boy did she work quickly when needed! Despite the cold, Rachelle even crawled around on all fours in the sea, for God's sake! It provided some great shots :-)

How would I sum up my shoots? Rachelle has a great personality, is easy to get along with and we had a lot of laughs. She is very experienced and you'll get some absolutely great shots working with her. I very much look forward to the opportunity of working with her again. Thanks, Rachelle :-)

Put simply, she's brilliant!! :-) :-)

Have worked with Rachelle many times. Professional, focussed, capable and dedicated. Fashion, boudoir, art nude whether within a studio setting or demanding external locations is handled with commensurate skill and talent.

Highly recommended.

The magic of Smurfette just has to be seen to be believed. Almost 1200 positive references still doesn't do her justice. Rachelle is in a class of her own as a model and as a person. More recommended than a very highly recommended thing.

I have worked with Rachelle many many times and thought it would be impossible for me to get any more images better or even different from what I already have. I WAS WRONG (as usual)!!!

If you haven't already photographed Rachelle with her new hair colour, book her now, you will not be disappointed (as if that was ever possible with this fantastic model).

I am not a lover of studio work, I prefer to make my models suffer in the outdoors of Scotland, but in all seriousness I am so happy I attended the last studio workshop after seeing the results. Brilliant model, very highly recommended.

Had a great shoot in Glasgow with Rachelle on her Scotland tour, easy to arrange everything and great to work with, loads of great images and highly recommend!

First time working with Rachelle, but so easy to get on with. Really puts you at easy and the shoot just flows like honey. Can't wait to work with her again.

Another great shoot with Rachelle. The time on a group shoot. She's such a natural in front of the camera and fun to boot! I've got some of my best shots working with her, which is testament to just how good she is. Especially given that I've not been doing this type of photography for long. Hope to work with her again.

Well what can I say about Rachelle, what a truly incredible woman and in my view the perfect package, has everything!! Blown away by her to be honest. Stunning yes, professional yes great laugh and personality yes! I could write an essay on how good she is but just book her, shes world class!

Just finished today shooting with the extremely talented, funny and hard working models I know. Rachelle is always a source of creative energy when on set, with joke and laugh with you on set, but once it's time to get back in front of the camera, she's giving you poses and looks to camera that you know the camera will love. I always enjoy working with Rachelle whenever we shoot together and always look forward to the next chance to work with her be it via an event like at the recent mansion event or via a regular shoot. Looking forward to going on her Portugal trip in the Summer.

I like Rachelle a lot.

She's full of energy and works so hard to get the shots. Off camera she is sharp witted and happy.

She just makes the whole experience of working with her good fun - the results I've got from our shoot are just stunning.

Already have ideas and vague plans on how we might work together again.

Amazing Shoot with Rachelle, had a great day - Rachelle did everything possible to make some fantastic images. Highly recommended.

Latest shoot with Rachelle was on the recent Stimilon Events Winter Wonderland trip to the French Alps. It was Rachelle that encouraged, badgered, cajoled (insert other appropriate synonyms as required) me to attend – and so glad I did.

Cannot add much more to my previous references, nor to the many other references that Rachelle already has. Whatever situation or environment you find yourself in when working with Rachelle she always, without exception, put everything into the shoot. With the great many new options offered by this trip - Rachelle was in here element.

Rachelle even making the time to perform MUA duties for the other models when requested.

Another very highly recommended from me, and I look forward to next time.

I've shot with Rachelle a number of times and she is always a great model to work with, but is also one of the funniest people I know. I was lucky to have booked on the the Winter Wonderland event she was part of and and did she help provide some stunning images that go along with the stunning location we all spent a week at.

Always highly recommended from me as a model every photographer should work with.

Fantasy Dabblers

We have shot with Rachelle in many locations but this trip was a first for all of us as we went to the French Alps. The chalet had some nice locations but it was the pictures in the snowy mountains that we had all gone for. Rachelle looked amazing and had the most perfect warm furry hat to wear. We have added many more unforgettable pictures of Rachelle from this trip.

I met Rachelle at the Winter Wonderland photography tour organised by Stimilon Events early February where we spent a whole week in the French Alps. I truly loved working with Rachelle. She brings a lot of enthusiasm and professionalism. The week didn't start out well but Rachelle was able to improvise and made the most of it, which I think she did great. Rachelle is a great model, who works without direction really well, high in energy during shootings and very sociable with a great sense of humour in her downtime. Also I think she's a trooper, continuing working at great heights (literally) on the last day of the event despite not feeling well. I'm super happy with the results I got with Rachelle and I will be working on the images for months to come. Highly recommend Rachelle and hope to be working with her again in the future.

I have been waiting for what seems like an eternity for a chance to shoot with this lovely lady, I eventually got my wish this morning and Rachelle did not disappoint.

Our few hours together was an absolute pleasure. As a model, Rachelle is a dream, you could not ask for more, she knows which poses work for her and seems to move effortlessly from one to the other. As a person, she is friendly and chatty, very easy to get on with. One look at the number of positive references she has here will tell you that you need to book a shoot if you haven't done so before.

I am now hastily browsing my diary to see when we can work together again. Highly recommended.
