I applied to Sam’s casting looking for a bridal model for a catwalk show, and communication from there on was amazing. It was rather short notice, but her organizational skills are amazing, and we kept in constant contact right up until the event - I provided my measurements as it was not possible to have a fitting in the short time scale and the dresses fitted better than some I had been fitted for in the past! She even managed to arrange for all of the models to have full hair and make up done which was truly appreciated.

Thank you for a fab day today Sam, I was so happy to be back doing a bridal show catwalk! Next time I promise I wont run off too soon on the first section! 😂

I had the opportunity to work with Samantha at the Enchanted Evermore Viking shoot. Her ability to create various characters and a wide variety of great poses made shooting her a real pleasure. Though she did not need direction, she responded to ideas with great imagination.Highly recommended.

So impressed with Sam and she was a pleasure to chat with, really easy going. Having a dance background Sam has GREAT poise, her extensions and movements are super graceful and she can create some great dynamics in the shots.

As we were doing a Viking shoot Sam had no problems dropping from the more thoughful beauty posing to giving the most fierce roar, bearing teeth and ready to go to battle, I think the photos do the talking :)

Would love to work with Sam again and can highly recommend!!

Enchanted Evermore Styled Workshops

Sam modelled for our vikings themed workshop "A Brave New World" and she was brilliant. She really took on the viking role, she moved and posed with grace and power, used the props naturally and effectively and always had expression in her face. She was so easy to work with on what was a full and challenging day. It was cold but Sam didn't let it show. Sam worked really well with the other models and the photographers. Highly recommended.

I had the pleasure of working with Sam and her hubby Matt today on a couple shoot. Sam answered my casting call for a real life couple and they are a fabulous pair. Both competent and modelling and posing together. We worked through my ideas and as the shoot was at the beach they were even happy to get wet. Pre comms were excellent. They were both fun to work with and we had a right laugh. Even enjoying fish and chips at the seaside after. I loved working with them both and would certainly love to do it all again. 💯 % recommended.

Sam Arranged a which was basically a Chinese fashion designers collaboration , and I was fortunate enough to be chosen to do this shoot.

Worked with a number of younger models, but will base this reference on Sam. Great model , clearly very experienced and poses with minimal direction .

Great communication , and really friendly on the day of the shoot (and extremely patient when I had an equipment meltdown!)

Keen to work with her in the future on some of my own personal work , and would highly recommend others do the same.

Sam joined me on the Dorchester Prison shoot over the weekend and it was a fab shoot. Her hair and make up was on point and she bought plenty of other items along with the stuff I had bought along. I've worked with Sam before and she never fails to disappoint. Fantastic poses, plenty of ideas and input and great company. Totally recommended 👌

I’d be wanting to do a creative makeup with snakes shoot and after recently posting a casting Sam quickly stepped up, she also put me in contact with a fabulous MUA who was very keen to take part in the shoot.

Sam poses effortlessly ( even after the snake pooped all over her) and carried on like a complete professional. I’m really pleased with the results.....Sam bought some amazing outfits along too. Highly recommended.

I have been trying to arrange a shoot with Sam for quite a while so was really pleased when she applied to my casting to shoot at the Aviation Museum in Bournemouth. Pre comms where brilliant so we both knew what we where working on and Sam didn’t disappoint. She turned up with an amazing RAF uniform as well as plenty of other outfits. We had a really productive couple of hours and I think the images speak for themselves.

Hopefully I will get to work with Sam again soon.

I Could not have picked a more lovely model to work with than Sam for my first post lockdown shoot.

Sam was bang on time and beautifully made up ready to roll with one of my crazy ideas, one that involved her being in the fierce heat in a wedding dress whilst I threw paint at her. 😂

At least it was a change from our last shoot where it was freezing cold and blowing a gale. One day the weather will be perfect for us. 👍

Sam has a mass of experience, especially with bridal themes. She always looks amazing, and she is always up for mad Ideas. An absolute pleasure to work with and a genuinely delightful person.

Highly recommended. 👍

Thanks again Sam. I look forward to next time

Sam and I have spoken on a few occasions over the years but somehow we had never managed to get together for a shoot. I was delighted when Sam applied to my recent casting and we finally managed to get together today.

I have to say I am incredibly impressed with Sam. She looks amazing, her posing is graceful and her makeup flawless. Sam was bang on time and produced a dress that was absolutely perfect for the ideas we had discussed pre-shoot.

I have to mention Sam’s tenacity, believe me it was bitterly cold and windy on Poole quay, but Sam persevered through it all to allow me to get exactly the shots I wanted. Not once did she complain.

The second part of the shoot was indoors using coloured gels, something that takes time to get right and Sam was incredibly patient as I faffed. Lastly Sam is a real pleasure to work with, keen, skilled, professional and great company. I am delighted with the images i captured and have no hesitation in giving her my wholehearted recommendation.

Thank you for a wonderful shoot Sam, I hope that we get the opportunity to do it again before I move north.

Sometimes I Take Pictures

I have a setting in my camera just called Sam! From the first shot from every shoot we are just on it. Sam is always available, down to earth and funny and can pull some pretty amazing poses. Never frightened to jump into rivers and mud! I have missed the big planned themed shoots with Sam and we are taking steps to get them going again ASP!

Lovely person, great model and a good friend! ;)

Another highly successful day working with Sam, this time on a water based theme I have wanted to do for a long time.

It's always a pleasure working with a model who is able to pose with the grace and elegance of a trained dancer. Sam is also very aware of angles and light which works best, it makes life a lot less complicated when trying to adjust camera settings to cope with changing conditions.

Sam has always been immaculately prepared for each shoot we've done with plenty of props and ideas which makes the time flow effortlessly.

I would recommend Sam without hesitation to all photographers and look forward to working with her again in the future.

Had a fun shoot with Sam under the guidance of Anna Klesse as part of a day's tuition in portrait photography.

Sam was obliging and patient while we set the lights.

She came with a varied set of outfits and is easy to pose and work with.

Would definitely like to work with Sam in the future.

Sam asked me a while ago if I'd be interested in doing a shoot involving a bath and glitter make up. Today it all came together with the help of MUA Louise (not on PP) and florist Jay. It was a brilliant collaborative shoot that produced some of my favourite pictures to date. Sam is a superb model who knows what she wants from a shoot and poses accordingly without much direction. The shoot took place at Sam's home were I was made to feel welcome in a very relaxed and friendly atmosphere.

I have also worked with Sam in a studio were she is equally at home in a professional environment.

Thanks for having faith in me as a photographer, I don't get asked to do TFP shoots very often but this was definitely one I will remember for a long time.

Had a great concept shoot with Sam this week, we had a couple of ideas we wanted to try out. As always, communications were exceptional, Sam arrived more than well prepared for the shoot and had organised her own hair and MUA for the shoot, so an added bonus. I can always rely on Sam when i need a dependable model with bags of enthusiasm, loads of ideas and an abundance of patience when I'm trying new ideas. Highly recommended and know we will be working together again of other ideas/concepts we have.

Sometimes I Take Pictures

I’ve lost count how many times I have shot Sam, but this shoot has to be the best so far! We had discussed this apocalyptic shoot many months ago and Sam was instrumental in making it work, so after many weeks of planning with fittings and ideas and Sam arranging a male model (Bryn, not on PP) we all managed to get it done. I can’t thank Sam enough for helping out with props and Bryn, great communication and enthusiasm. Would recommend Sam 100%

I loved working with Sam on a group shoot today, I am in total awe of her modelling talent and professionalism not to mention she's a good laugh too!

I learn a lot from her and I hope one day il be at her level. Amazing shoot, amazing model thank you so much honey xx

Sometimes I Take Pictures

Had another great shoot with Sam. Communication was spot on for our collaboration. It is nice to have reliable and wilco model like Sam available. It was again cold and wet in a very smelly marsh but as usual Sam doesn’t care where she is! Would highly recommend Sam to anyone and I look forward to working with her again.
