My second shoot with Simone this year, this time at AuraPhotographic in Weedon Bec. We hadn't worked together at this location since Emily took over the studio space and added her unique style. We shot for just over five hours and in that time used a mixture of natural light and studio flash. Simone worked through elegant fashion, lingerie, casual to some very elegant art nude poses. She is always a delight to work with possessing a bubbly personality, making the shoot just fly by which is always an indicator of a great shoot. As ever, she is highly recommended by me.

I did my first duo model shoot with SimoneH and VictoriaSummers at Simone's home. I arrived feeling a little nervous but they quickly put me at my ease in our initial chat. They were happy for me to explain my ideas and when I was unsure about some aspects, were happy to contribute their own suggestions. It soon became clear just how experienced they are and how they know just how to work together and consequently produce some great duo poses. I feel we all got on well and the whole shoot was a pleasure all round. We looked at all the images together at the end of the shoot and we were all happy with the results. I feel lucky to have met them and look forwards to working with them again in the future. They are both just lovely women, very experienced models and highly recommended by me.

I attended a group shoot today organised by Simone at her home in Gloucester. She had done her homework and organised an interesting and varied morning for the four photographers. She had thoroughly prepared the model (Victoria Summers) with outfits and locations. She ran a tight well timed session keeping us under control with charm and grace.

Anyone thinking of joining a group shoot consider one of Simone's events.

This is my fourth shoot with Simone in the last year and shooting with her is addictive. Her ease at striking a pose, her wonderfully direct look to the camera and bubbly personality makes the time unfortunately speed by. We had decided to do some portraits followed by my first attempt at setting up lighting for Low Key bodyscapes. The initial result look great and this is mainly due to her assistance and suggestions with the lighting (neewer plasma panels) - she was so professional and very patient.

Just back from Corfu she has a fabulous tan and we had a good time discussing the merits of the Greek Islands (I am just back from Crete with a less fabulous tan!) - Villas and private pools. She also gave me an update on Instagram posting. A productive and informative morning.

I highly recommend her to beginners and professionals alike

I had my first shoot Duo shoot Simone and Crystal yesterday at a natural light workshop at Simone's house with JD tuition.

It was great meeting Simone and Crystal they were lovely to work with, the time flew by and I was able to get some great images which I still working on. The house was spacious with great natural light. They both were easy to get along with and I was able to get some great images of you solo and with Crystal as a duo. Working with professional models is so productive lending to obtaining far better images.

I would certainly recommend working with Simone and I look forward to working with you in the future, I already arranged our next shoot.

Thankyou Simone.

Had another fun shoot with Simone at the fabulous Tagdown Barn in Oxfordshire last Saturday. After a short technical difficulty with my camera was overcome, we got down to take some amazing images in the stunning house and grounds. Simone was absolutely amazing and looked stunning in the various lingerie sets and dress. She has a great personality and was really patient at the beginning with the technical issue. As always Simone is totally professional, friendly and helpful and very easy to work with.

I would highly recommend Simone to anyone, as she just a pleasure to work with and hope we can do it again soon.

Thanks Simone for another great day's shooting.

Having worked with Simone on one of her home natural light workshops I jumped at the chance when she put a casting up for a studio day at Tagdown Barn. Half day duly booked and it absolutely flew past Simone was highly professional. I took lots of amazing images. We had already agreed on high end lingerie and a summer dress theme for inside and outside sets. Simone's outfits were amazing and I was not disappointed. I highly recommend Simone and hope to have the opportunity to shoot with her again.

I had the pleasure of shooting with Simone again today in her lovely home, what a lovely lady she is. As always she was a friendly and chatty hostess and very easy to get along with. We did a number of sets using natural light and flash in varying genres from portrait to implied nude. Simone poses effortlessly, either by herself or taking direction. She is very comfortable and expressive in fromt of the camera resulting in many excellent images from a very productive session.

I would highly reccommend Simone to any level of photographer. Thank you Simone and here's to the next shoot !

Simone and I first worked together in 2016 and have shot regularly since then. This was my first opportunity to work with her at the outstanding Basford Hurst Cottage Photography Location; something that I was very much looking forward to. The weather happened to be overcast, so we opted to use natural light when feasible and a single studio light on a range of power settings when necessary. It was a joy to work with her at this unique location as we attempted to make the most of the opportunities offered. We covered elegant dresses, lingerie and art nude sets during our shoot. Simone knows exactly how the work a location. As always, we aimed for a relaxed tempo to the shoot and had a good laugh along the way. A true professional and a delight to work with as always. This lady is very highly recommended by me.

Simone came back to Basford this weekend to run her own studio day event. It was a pleasure to welcome her back as, just like the previous time, Simone made organising and advertising the day very easy and she had no trouble with selling and running the day effectively.

Simone worked hard throughout the day with each photographer to produce many wonderful images. She is the absolute professional and we thoroughly enjoy hosting her here at Basford Hurst Cottage.

Thanks for another great day Simone and we look forward to seeing you again soon!!

Simone is friendly, chatty and hard working. I cant wait to work with her again.

I did a g/g shoot with Tasha and Simone. This was very easy to arrange and all went to plan. The girls got on very well and were comfortable posing together and were happy to pose with little direction. They were lovely to be with and I am delighted with the results. Highly recommended either together or individually. Thank you very much. X

After a few false starts (entirely my fault) I had my first shoot with the lovely Simone last week, it was a duo day expertly hosted by Simone at her home, shooting alongside fellow model Tasha Jobbins.

I was made to feel very welcome and plied with refreshments and snacks, Simone's home was lovely and had some great shooting options nothing was too much trouble when I wanted to move some furniture etc. We worked through a number of sets and Simone was changed and ready in no time.

An easy recommend both as a model or attending one of her events, I will be back!

Another amazing shoot with the stunning Simone. I was made most welcome in her lovely home. Simone’s experience showed through as she moved through a repertoire of poses. Simone is equally good at following suggestions for poses. Friendly, chatty and hard working Simone is a joy to work with. Highly recommended by me. Thanks Simone.

This was my third delightful shoot with Simone (and I am sure not my last) and the second Natural Light Workshop run by SimoneH and John Duder (JD Tuition) that I have attended. Once again I learnt a great deal from the event as it was the first 'duo' shoot I had done. Simone was joined by VictoriaSummers and the contrast of blonde and brunette was fabulous as they posed so professionally, gracefully and effortlessly together.

John is extremely professional and gave sage advice and suggestions. He had set up several scenarios for us to try with natural light.

I would heartily recommend the three of them.

On Monday I attended a most interesting Natural Light Workshop run by SimoneH and John Duder (JD Tuition). It was the first time I had attended such an event and I believe that I learnt a lot both from John and Simone but also from talking to and watching the other 3 participants in action.

John is extremely knowledgable and very free and tactful in passing it on. They set up five scenarios for us to try with natural light and flash. Simone - who is just so delightfully photogenic moved easily, professionally and so very patiently from pose to pose.

I would heartily recommend them both and have already signed up for the 'duo' workshop next month.
