A brilliant shoot with Alexandra today and I'm still buzzing! There are a few models who really do have 'it' and Alexandra is one of them. She is so professional in her approach to modelling and can throw poses all day long.

We used her flat as a base and made good use of the quirky features it had. And it had a balcony although shooting outside had to be kept brief as it was so flipping cold in the wind! Alexandra didn't complain once (professional, see above).

I found Alexandra very easy to talk to on many levels and I think that enhanced our shoot. We both contributed ideas and although I started out rather nervously, that soon disappeared thanks to her calm and confident approach.

Very happy with the whole thing and there are a good few ideas in the bank for next time.

Thanks Alexandra!

I had the immense pleasure of photographing Alex at a group shoot at JB Studio’s. Alex had two changes of dresses supplied by Blue Beau Boutique.

Where to start with the praise for Alex, she is phenomenal, a pleasure to work with, friendly, chatty, I can only speak for myself but I had an incredible time, nothing was to much effort, I was relaxed and at ease during the entire shoot, I could of continued to the following morning.

If you haven’t worked with Alex, I would say book a shoot with her now, you won’t be disappointed!

I will most defiantly be arranging several 1 to 1 shoots with Alex in the very near future.

Alex is simply fantastic.

Thank you Alex, for such an enjoyable shoot.

I first shot Alexandra four years ago. She returned to JB Studios for another model night and I was very pleased to be able to work with her again. She did two sets with two amazing but different dresses. She poses with ease and without the need for direction so we free-flowed and captured great images. It was great to catch up with her. She puts 110% into the shoot and all the photographers were very happy with the outputs from the night. I am happy to recommend her to photographers of all levels. She is a highly competent model who is also aware of how to use studio lighting to best effect. We had a great time and I hope it is not four years before we work together again.

A fantastic model with lots of ideas and energy. Had a car full of outfits so nothing was a problem. Make-up to a high standard

my biggest mistake was only booking 2 hours i could of shot and chatted all day

We had a great shoot, in which i picked her brains about the industry as Alex has so much experience and i've been away from it for some time.

her professional attitude was evident start to finish and i think she is one of the best, a must work with model, easy to get on with and i don't think you would have any problems if you were on your first shoot

This was my first shoot with Alexandra and what a wonderful experience it was. It was third time lucky as the weather caused us to postpone a couple of times. Alexandra's communications were all very clear and precise, as were her directions.

The shoot was a good learning opportunity for me as I haven't done that much fashion imagery. Alexandra styled the shoot and her clothing choices were perfect, both for getting images and for the weather. Alexandra also knew some good locations to shoot in which gave me a fair selection of settings. Needless to say as an experienced and assured model, she gave me plenty of great poses.

Alexandra is also very chatty and personable, but most importantly erudite and with insight. I could have easily spent the whole shoot just chatting with her had the occasional showers turned into proper rain. Also she is a cat lover and I had the opportunity of meeting her Norwegian Forest cat and photographing the two together.

I would totally recommend Alexandra as a person and a model, and I hope to be able to shoot with her again.

I had my second shoot with Alex yesterday, at Silkwood Studio, after four years, which is much too long. She is a brilliant model, definitely one of the best, and a force of nature. She can do her make-up to a very high standard, really knows how to pose and how to work for the camera. She is beautiful, creative and incredible fun.

You really need to work with this lady.

This was our second shoot, this time at my home studio. 4 hours flew by, and we got through lots of different looks from our various wardrobes. Her experience comes out through the smoothness and rapidity of changing poses, her ideas and suggestions which make for a truly collaborative outcome and the overall quality of the end result.

An excellent evening, and I look forward to the opportunity to work with her again. Highly recommended.

Richard Spurdens

Had a cool shoot Alexandra. First time working with her and from the images we created I hope we can work together again in the future. Alexandra had great energy and strong poses is fun to work and chat with. I would certainly recommend her as a model to work with.

Thanks again Alex

This was my first time working with Alexandra, on a duo shoot with Victoriah. We worked through a whole bunch of different looks and styles with Alexandra and Victoriah absolutely nailing it every time with posing, wardrobe and makeup. Not only that but we had a ton of fun and I would defintely say that Alex is one of the nicest people I've had the privilege of working with.

Can't recommend highly enough!

Saracen House Studio

Just amazing to see Alexandra again, she was visiting us for a shoot with Ricky Warwick and it was like seeing an old friend again - Alex just lights up the room with her personality and of course is still one of the best models you could hope to photograph.

Hopefully it won't be another two years before we have Alexandra back at Saracen House Studio again! But in the mean time, if you get the chance to shoot with her, make sure you do!

Last time I worked with Alex was over two and half years ago, then we had a pandemic, she decided to take some time away from modelling, moved to West Sussex :-( … Then last month I heard a rumour that she was back modelling part time, she posted a casting saying she was coming to South Wales for a few days. So, I contacted her faster than you can say “Bloody hell, Alex is back!!!”.

We exchanged messages, discussed some ideas and today we met up and shot in the Brecon Beacons National Park. Well, Alex has lost none of her passion, creativity or can-do attitude. She is still a beautiful, hardworking and experienced model, who gives 100% to the shoot and works with you to make sure you get the shot. She is very friendly, chatty and easy to work with, and as I said in a previous reference… mad as a box of frogs, in the nicest way :-) and a beautiful person, inside and out.

If you haven’t worked with Alex, why not? You are missing out big time… Get her booked up, you won’t regret it!!!

Thank you Alex, till next time (Y)

Alexandra has been on my RADAR to shoot with for some time, and when she returned to modelling following a break, everything aligned in terms of my short term availability, a booking at one of my favourite studios (Shutterhouse), and Alexandra's availability to get a shoot in the diary. I'm so, so glad it did!

That Alexandra has an amazing and fabulous look is self-evident, but that is just the tip of the creative tour-de-force iceberg that is Alexandra. Her styling and Make-up skills are off the chart, and her emoting and posing means she can switch from serious and studious, through sultry vamp, and to funny and quirky in a moment. She can free-style with the best of them, but also happy to take overly precise direction, and the result is a collaborative process that is focused on producing the very best images.

The professional and business end of the shoot ran seamlessly in parallel with relaxed and free flowing conversation that ran the gamut of laugh out loud fun, and serious weighty issues, which made the full day shoot as enjoyable and relaxed as it was productive.

There are just some people that I know I was meant to work with - Alexandra is at the very top of that list, and we know we will be working together many times again - hopefully for a very long time!

I cannot recommend Alexandra highly enough. Whatever your experience or aspirations, Alexandra will make your vision come to life. Just book her. It will be one of the best decisions you make!

I have worked with Alexandra before, though not in the last 3 years and when I saw her casting call I was keen to make it work. Alexandra was happy to go with my suggested outdoor location and the forecast was good, however as this is the UK it didn't quite go to plan weather wise. We had pre-agreed some ideas and Alex arrived ready to go and well prepared. Despite the deteriorating weather we proceeded with the shoot and as always Alexandra gave it her all and we did generate some interest in other visitors to the park. We had a great time and I have no hesitation in recommending Alexandra as a highly professional and talented model with whom to work and one who is happy to flow with the poses or to take direction -even if just a refinement.

It has taken a while for this shoot to come together, but in the end Alexandra and I managed our shoot on the hottest day of the year in the romantic setting of a council carpark!

She is great company, a very accomplished model who needs no direction but fully open to ideas, even silly ones (like wearing leathers on the hottest day of the year!).

The three hours went in a flash.

Thank you Alexandra.

Had a lovely shoot yesterday with Alexandra which was arranged in about 5 minutes after i decided to do a shoot and saw in castings she was in my area.

Having worked with her twice before, solo and on a MUA/Hairstylist shoot i knew how versatile as a model she is and we did such a variety of sets/looks from a textured BnW set, a beautiful flowing red dress set, some fashion and a few different headshot sets inc wet hair where she wanted some more emotive shots (my favourite) and the fact its taken me 3 hours today to whittle the image choices down to 16 tells you how well the shoot went.

On top of a great shoot, she is a joy to work with and you never need tons and tons of shots per set, you know if you do 30-50 you'll have some great ones in there to choose from.

Thanks for a lovely day

I have shot with Alex a few times now and I have to say she is one of my all time favourites, I love working with her,

Its always fun and relaxed and we walk away with amazing images every time,

Alex had taken a small break so it was nice to be her first shoot back and it was great seeing the smile on her face doing what she enjoys again,

We had been talking about the shoot for a while and Alex sent me her mood board of what she wanted to achieve, I luckily enough had some equipment to help,

We met at Saracen House and as always Alex looked amazing, and had two big bags full of clothes ready to shoot with

I set the lighting up using a snoot while Alex got ready for the first set, We shot some moody fashion using shadows and lighting and Alex nailed shot after shot,

Alex needs no direction and flows from pose to pose with ease, and knows how to use her body to create amazing images making every photographers job easy and lazy lol,

Alex is a fun, bubbly and talented model and being around her is infectious, and when you shoot with her you will want to shoot with her again and again

I would recommend her to all photographers and models that will respect her and her levels

I am glad you are back my friend, look forward to many more shoots in the future

Fantastic recent shoot with Alexandra at The Creativity Hubs event ‘Cirque Noir’.

I’ve admired Alexandra and her impeccable standard from afar. She was just as good in person.

She knows how to create fantastic images and isn’t scared to try things.She is a great communicator and she has a good sense of humour too!

Highly recommend!

This reference is long overdue as Alex is one of the best and one of my favourite models to work with. From the first time I met Alex at an Alice in Wonderland inspired shoot 5 years ago to the most recent Cirque Noir event held by Creativity Hub it is always a pleasure. Alex puts everyone at ease and has an infectious personality that makes the shoot a fun and friendly experience from the outset and I always go away happy from being in her company. Her experience means that she is willing to share ideas and try new ideas and help if you have a creative block. Highly recommend working with Alex and look forward to the next time.

Alex is one of the best models in this industry,

I love working with her and always get some amazing images, communication is really good before and during the shoot,

Alex bought loads of different outfits on the day and her hair and makeup was amazing,

We shot some low key, Boudoir and Implied in the lake,

Alex is a really talented mode, and knows how to use her body to get the best images for you,

Time goes to quick every time I shoot with her, its always a relaxed but really fun, she is a real joy to be around and full of positive energy.

Alex is Beautiful model inside and out and I am glad to call her a friend,

I would recommend Alex to everyone that will respect her and her levels
