I had my first shoot with Rachelle at Inspire Studios yesterday. She is easy to work with, and her experience and know how means that she can pick up any idea very quickly and pose naturally automatically. She is also very versatile, from fashion from different eras to recreating famous picture from the past. I definitely want to work with her next time she is back in the region. Highly recommended.

I really have lost count how many times I've work with Rachelle. Just so good to catch up with her again after the pandemic, just a complete joy from the very second we started. I cannot praise her enough.

Well worth going overdrawn for, do not pass up the chance to work with her.

Until next time.

Lucky enough to have a chance to shoot with Rachelle at Inspire Studios last weekend. Was message Rachelle prior to shoot and we decided on a Seventies Themed shoot plus a bit of Edgy Fashion. And at end we managed a bit of dance, not bad for a 2 hours shoot. Some fabulous images and a pleasure to work with. 2 hours just flew by. Looking forward to working on one of Rachelles events next month. And hope to be lucky enough to organise something with Rachelle again one day.

Words cannot describe how excited I was to have the chance to work with Rachelle finally, she had a sold-out weekend at Inspire Studios, and my slot was the last 2 hours of the day, 

she has been on my list to work with, probably since the first week of joining this website

I honestly don't think there is a style or image that doesn't suit her

she works so hard and so fluidly that we had pretty much-nailed 2/3rds of my shot ideas within the first 1 hour of my booking

I honestly cannot wait to work with her again

It was an honour and a pleasure

Thank you

Had our third studio session with Rachelle today and it was up to its usual high standard. Rachelle is such a lovely person to work with and an expert at her modeling craft. She arrived, on time, fully made up and ready to start and with a large trunk of outfits including the ones we requested and lots more as well. Just give her a hint of what you want to achieve and she interprets it with a stream of great poses. I think Rachelle is my favorite model to work with. The four hour session just flew by and we have hundreds of fabulous images. We shall be looking to work with her again when the opportunity arises and would recommend her to any photographer. Thanks for a great session Rachelle.

Just completed my first shoot with Rachelle at The Cottage Studio in West Sussex. She proved to be an absolute pleasure to work with, both her enthusiasm and eye for detail outstanding. Her posing is very natural and again she is very engaged to ensure the photographer gains the perfect shot. The time of the shoot just shot by which I always feel is a good indication of how things progressed. I very much hope I will get the opportunity to work with Rachelle again in the future, all in all a true professional....highly recommended...

Oh dear, I thought I had done this reference for Rachelle.

How could I possibly forget. We have shot together so many times over....I must not say how many years and I love shooting with her.

She came to my place and we did some wonderful dark and gritty stuff.

The light behaved beautifully and I am still working on images. I enjoy this so much.

I know I will be shooting with her again soon and if you haven't shot with her, you are missing something!!!

Totally recommended to all photographers.

Rachelle was heading south for a mini tour so I checked whether she'd make a slight detour to Cardiff. Am I glad she said yes. After a quick catchup on who's who and what's what, we cracked on and got through several sets in my home studio. Although I'd been on a couple of events recently, it was quite a few years since she'd visited my place. Rachelle can quickly switch between having a laugh and serious posing which makes for a super-productive yet thoroughly enjoyable shoot. I was beginning to think my photography had stalled but now I'm ready to continue exploring where my art takes me. I look forward to geting another opportunity to shoot with this fabulous model.

Having previously only shot with Rachelle on group events I had the great pleasure of working with her on a 1to1 basis as part of her tour of the south-west. Apart from her obvious elegance, beauty and all round modelling skills the characteristic that I would use to describe Rachelle is “professional”. She pays great attention to detail, her make-up was immaculate, her dresses and lingerie were lovely and her bouncy personality made the three hours pass very quickly. Highly recommended, of course!😀

Finally managed to arrange a 5th shoot with Rachelle, after a gap of 4 years, while she was touring Wiltshire and the South in April.

As usual, Rachelle arrived at the Swindon Studio on time with a rather large (and heavy!) suitcase full of great outfits for her tour....and our shoot. We shot a range of backgrounds, lighting and outfits, reviewing the results on the studio’s large, Smart TV as we went.

Rachelle is so easy to work with and wastes little time changing her outfits, hair and makeup so by the end of our 4 hours we had produced a good variety of images that we are both happy with. Hopefully, it won’t be another 4 years until the next shoot.

Highly recommended.

Had the opportunity to work with Rachelle again recently while she was on her southern tour.Once again excellent pre shoot comms and she had rented an amazing apartment to shoot in.

After a chat and a cuppa we got to work producing some excellent images around the apartment.On the day we used a mixture of Rachelles high quality lingerie and some of my own styling which suited my style.

Always a pleasure to work with Rachelle and hope to shoot with her again in the future.

Highly recommend.

Rachelle was very professional, friendly, talkative and full of great ideas and poses. A real pleasure to work with.

Though I have been to a number of Rachelle's Summer Abroad events in the UK it has been a while since we have worked together.

Rachelle as always had selected a great location for this tour in London. At the start of the shoot we reviewed and selected the outfits that would be used. Then we selected the appropriate locations and props to complete the outfit and Rachelle applied complementary make-up.

The location had great natural light so the majority of the shoot was done using natural light.

Another great shoot with Rachelle. I am sure we will work together again in the future.

Had an excellent shoot with Rachelle.

I've worked with Rachelle loads of times, and also been on several Summers Abroad events. There is something really quite magical when you're on a shoot with her, fantastic model (of course) with amazing style / posing ability and oozing in creativity and you just know you'll come away with some fabulous images.

That's only half the story, she has the most wonderful character and is a real joy to be around, fun with tons of energy always committed to given everything to each concept and idea. My most recent idea was a little bit off the wall as it was a bit comic con in style, but she was so enthusiastic and really made it work.

There is a blindingly obvious reason I've worked with Rachelle multiple times both direct as a 1-1 shoot and on the Summers Abroad events, she is top draw, fantastic and always makes you feel great about your shooting experience. Very very few people out there have her completeness and I'm already looking forward to when we can plan our next shoot.

If you've not worked with her you're missing out on one of the very best out there, of course she's highly recommended - get a shoot booked with her ASAP.

Always a delight to work with the wonderful, talented Rachelle . Travels with an excellent variety of outfits . Even when I haven’t shot for a long time I always try and shoot with Rachelle

Andrew Priestly

Worked with Rachelle at an apartment she'd rented while on tour. I picked some outfits from what she had brought (so many outfits!) and she absolutely nailed the posing side of things. Rachelle is very versatile and collaborative which makes for a fun shoot, as well as getting some amazing images.

I'm very happy with the shoot and look forward to working with Rachelle again.

I had another fantastic session with the amazing Rachelle on her Edinburgh visit. Communication was excellent as usual great make up and well organised.She posed patiently whilst I tried some difficult panorama techniques some worked some didn’t because I not used to using a constant light instead of flash, but got some good images.Thanks Rachelle. Highly recommended.

I recently met up with Rachelle at a group shoot at the splendid R3 studio in Glasgow. We first had a shoot together over 10 years ago, and have worked together on a number of times since then up to covid. Rachelle has always been an excellent model, very professional in all she does, and always guarantees the photographer superb images. The short time together at studio R3 last week was no exception, and in addition it was good to catch up socially while we worked together. Rachelle is to be recommended to all photographers, and I look forward to more shoots in the future.
