I had the pleasure to work with Shannon. She is a natural and every shot is practically perfect. Loved working with her and it's a shame she is leaving the UK as I would love to shoot more with her.

We wondered around looking for locations and I got so many good edits from a 2 hours shoot.

Wonderfully talented and funny. Looking forward to have the pleasure to work with her again in the future.

Lovely person is Shannon - and even lovelier model! Worked really well in every area - and was great fun in the bargain. Her pictures speak for themselves - highly recommended...

I was lucky enough to work with Shannon on a photoshoot together preparing her hair and makeup. Shannon has amazing features and Is naturally very beautiful, which made my job an absolute pleasure. She modelled the two makeup looks perfectly, and looks stunning in all of the images we received. As well as being professional, she is friendly, chatty and generally great fun to be around. I wish you all the luck with your travels Shannon and I really hope we can work together again in the future!! Xx

I got to shoot with Shannon :)

We had spoken in the past about shooting, I was so pleased when Shannon sent me a message saying she was heading near my way.

We sorted some ideas and some outfits etc and met up in Milton Keynes. Our shoot was in a local woodland area, little muddy but hey ho :)

Shannon is a star lovely and fun to work with, even though we ended up doing a lot of walking due to a misplacement of the car lol :) It was fun shoot with some really cool images too.

I highly recommend Shannon and would love to work with again.

Thanks Shannon for an Epic day :)

I was lucky enough to be able to grab a shoot with this lovely lady while she was up my way over the weekend. What a star.

Shannon's pre-shoot comms were perfect and she arrived with a massive selection of clothing.. and a very funky pink case.

After a bit of faffing around with lighting by myself we soon got into our flow and I couldn't be happier with the results of the shoot.

A stunning model that's an ease to work with, I hope to work with Shannon again once she's back from her travels.

Highly recommended.

Having shot with Shannon for 3 days out of the 7 this week through a couple of different projects I'm leaving a 3-in-1 go mega reference!

Shannon is great, an utter joy to be around all day long. We spend 2 days in cold, dirty derelict buildings of South Wales, and she didn't moan once, gave her all in every set-up, modelled about 12 different looks & styles easily, takes direction so well, but also gives her own emotion and expressionism to the camera. Always willing, and trusting of myself, and my style.

You can tell that turning up on time, and in the correct manor ready to go is really important to Shannon, I honestly believe that she would never let anybody down, a pleasure to be around such a genuine soul and would benefit any photographer to have her on their shoot.

Working with Shannon was an absolute pleasure. She is full of beans, easy to talk to and easy to be around. Highly recommended.

I had the great pleasure of working with Shannon today. It was simple to arrange and pre shoot comms were easy.

Shannon is a stunning model and a great natural beauty. She's very chatty and so easy to get on with.

We headed to woods on Dartmoor and the weather mostly played ball. If was a bit nippy but we got some great pictures. We shot a good variety of outfits as the weather constantly changed. It was fun and the time shot by.

Very highly recommended :-D and I do hope we get the chance to work together again.

The communication vibes with Shannon were good from moment one and before we even met we had extended the shoot by hours then by another day so we ended up with a two consecutive day shoot. It was everything we wanted it to be city location, studio, then day 2 country, lake and seaside we never ran out of ideas.

Shan is gorgeous, hard working, creative, co-operative, enthusiastic, chatty, and has a wonderful positive attitude that lifts the shoot atmosphere to a new level. We produced so many cracking images but know there’s more to go for. Shan is so good to shoot and be with (and hard to leave ;-)) - she’s just up for it and every moment with her a pleasure. Thanks Shan x

Shannon was one of 3 models I selected for the local photo club practical evening and what a marvellous choice :-) She brought a great selection of clothes, looked stunning, worked the three sets so well and was wonderfully helpful to the large number of members most of whom had never shot with a model before. Am I glad to be shooting with Shannon in a few days? Yessir! She’s lovely. Thanks Shan x

Had the great pleasure of shooting Shan after work at Mr Dave's studio. We tried a number of sets around Mr Dave's home with a healthy and objective banter about the best lighting to use. Shan came very well prepared after very good pre shoot comms. Secured some lovely images but there is potential to go for even better now I have worked out how to capture her natural beauty to the best effect. Highly recommended.

Worked with Shannon on a concept I had been toying with for a while on what turned out to be a rather cold and windy day, which was perfect for the idea I wanted to shoot. Shannon is a great model to work with, takes direction well and inputs her ideas into the mix for consideration. Really good communication skills and a great sense of humour as well. I would definitely recommend working with Shannon.

The Narratographer

Right, where to begin. You may want to go make a cup of tea before reading this as it is likely to go on for a while.

Ok, the obvious stuff. Shannon is beautiful, I mean proper beautiful. She isn't one of those models who has to try to look beautiful, she just is. She is one of those natural looking girls that are so hard to find these days. Her modelling is top-notch, she can follow direction (though it is rarely needed) and she never fails to get exactly what it is that you are trying to convey. When you look at her, you will not be able to take you eyes off of hers, they sparkle. She really is one of those models you just 'have' to work with.

The not so obvious. She is absolutely hilarious and such great company. You will enjoy your time with Shannon so much that you may even forget to take photos. She is polite, courteous, funny, warm, friendly and creative. Those in-between image capturing times will be full of laughter and micky-taking (though not coffee) and you will come away having had the best photography day of your career.

I cannot recommend this girl enough. If you are an advanced photographer or a beginner, Shannon is your girl. Don't hesitate, book her now!

Recommended as highly as goddamn possible!

This went well, even though as a change for Shannon we shot in the studio and left the cold and wet outside. Change is good.

Well-organised and with ideas communicated well before the shoot. On time, in place and fun.

We had a clear plan, we accomplished that, and we have a few things to do next time.

So good, progress and to build on.

Had my second shoot with Shannon :) it was absolutely stunning again! Shannon is actually my favourite model ever, unbelievably talented, we already have 2 more shoots booked which is sort of ridiculous but I don't know how I can work with anyone else when Shannon is this good! She's super easy to work with, unbelievably talented, and a great person too! This time I had Shannon in a lake in the rain, but she didn't complain at all. The shots we got were amazing, consistent beautiful shots. Work with her now guys, seriously!

Alistair Campbell

Amazing to meet Shannon and shoot with her at very short notice. After a model double unfortunately booking herself, Shannon replied to my urgent casting just hours before the shoot. Was super efficient with contact and information. Turned up well on time, totally reliable and ready to shoot. As my style is slightly away from the norm, we had a brief chat beforehand on how I work, and Shannon totally got if from the first image to the last. Looks great in pretty much every single photos, fun, charming, smiley and a pleasure to have on the set and part of my creative team. Proud to have Shannon as part of my portfolio, and looking forward to many more shoots to come.

So where to start with Shannon...

Pre-communication was top notch. From her excitement to professionalism, Shannon was fantastic.

We both had our ideas, but also decided to just ''go with the flow''

I picked her up from the agreed location, and straight away we just clicked, so I knew it was going to be an awesome shoot.

Shannon didn't really need directing, as she was very competent at posing and positioning.

After a chilly few hours we called it a day, I was gutted as we were having so much fun.

Looking forward to working with her again very soon. (When I get a car again)

I will always remember this shoot, for one reason or another :D

If you want a professional, fun and friendly model, Shannon is your girl.

All the best

Shannon and came together for the shoot pretty quick. We shot at my studio and it flowed wonderfully. Shannon is very polite, fun, committed and capable. I really enjoyed working with her and the shoot reflects that.

James Westlake

I shot with Shannon yesterday. She's honestly the most talented model I've worked with, the shoot was so much fun, we got through so many different looks with the makeup artist and so many interesting ideas, working for like 9 hours in total I think, which is a bit insane, but it was too amazing to stop. The photos are definitely the best photos I've shot, not because I've miraculously improved overnight, just because I've never worked with a model this talented and natural at posing before ever. We'd planned the shoot lots before, but left room to improvise too, which turned out incredible. There's not a bad shot of Shannon in existence, I challenge any photographer reading this to try and take one - you won't manage. My portfolio will soon be solely Shannon I think, we're going to shoot so many more times, because the shoots are simply perfect.
