Second shot with Ms Dubois this past Monday.

It was bad, really bad, such poor images, I couldn't work my camera, we should have given up after 5 minutes...

But of course we didn't, and it wasn't. The reality is, as many others have testified before me, Stephanie is just bloody brilliant. Awesome shaping and lines, true sense of her own body shape and how light plays over it. Accutely aware of when something is a little off, keen to see the work in progress so any issues can be re-shot.

4 hours, 400+ images across 10 looks and some superlative quality work was achieved.

I'm just gutted she's abandoning the frozen wastelands of the North for the wetness of Cymru as it means we probably won't get to shoot so much going forward.

So it's super simple, get the chance to book her? Do it. In an instant. Without second thought.

I’ve just returned from a second photo tour of Cyprus with Steph and I cannot sing her praises highly enough. Steph organised the villa, the 4x4, scouted all the locations and sourced some beautiful designer gowns for the shoots. We worked early morning and evening to get the best light, had some lovely long lunches and siestas during the middle of the day, but still covered so many different looks and locations without ever feeling like we were rushing around. Steph is an awesome model - a strong look, super figure and beautifully expressive posing. On top of the modelling Steph is also a great tour guide and general all-round lovely person to spend time with. Thank you so much for an amazing tour and particularly for helping me create one of my all-time favourite images :)

I flew out to Cyprus to shoot with Steph during her week long photo shoot in April, this was the second year the Steph had organised the tour and it was just as excellent the second time around.

Steph knows Cyprus very well and also knows that a "proper" 4x4 is vital to reach some of the best locations, even then some of the roads are "challenging". This year she had added some new locations and as things worked out all the photographers shot in unique locations at least once ( often more ) during the week.

It is always a total delight to shoot with Steph but the difference working for a week with the two "golden" hours of light gives a completely different feel to the photography. This also gives lots of time during the day for some of the other important things in life like food and drink, revisiting some of the more memorable restaurants was a highlight of the non-photographic part of the trip.

I can wholeheartedly recommend this trip if you have the opportunity to take part next year, you will not regret it ! ( do take lots of insect repellant and suncream tho ! )

Stephanie is on tour in Australia and I had the great fortune to work with her, here in Perth, WA. Very versatile, collaborative and creative. Love the expressions and emotion Stephanie exudes. Highly recommended.

I can only mirror what everyone else has said.

Really happy I booked Stephanie, We got on well together, Very professional and organised, rattles poses of as if its second nature.

I was taken out of my comfort zone by Stephanie, Yes the input was really helpful and I got some ace shots, So thanks for that Stephanie,

Yes I would work with Stephanie again, It will have to be at another studio as mine studio is not big enough.

A great young lady to know and shoot.

Thanks for a great half days shooting.

In Search of That Perfect Shot..............

Had a third shoot with Stephanie, this time at The Studio, Cannock. She was awesome as ever. Was very well prepared and brought so much lovely clothing/accessories that I was very spoilt for choice. Thank you Stephanie. :)X

Another great day with the wonderful Stephanie at Rainbow Studio. Steph is a brilliant model and delightful enigma; confident and outgoing, professional, friendly, and patient, and yet demure and serene at the same time. Great fun to work with, with a dry, razor sharp wit :) Completely recommended by me! Thanks for a great shoot, Steph, look forward to working with you again if you ever return to the UK!

Two years of promises to arrange a shoot finally came down to an hour at Rainbow Studio - and if I was under pressure to get any good shots in such a short space of time then I needn't have worried. Steph is such a consummate professional, she hit pose after pose, usually free-flowing but following my direction with ease when called for. I have more 'keepers' than I could ever possibly get round to editing and I'm glad I managed to finally get something sorted.

Stephanie is highly recommended ++ She moves from pose to pose effortlessly and has such strong, beautiful features. I booked her for 3 days, and thoroughly enjoyed every minute in the studio with her. The involvement of super makeup and hair people really added to the shoot, and the strong looks we opted for were carried off beautifully by Stephanie. You would think after 3 days I would want to leave it for a while before shooting with her again - but the reality is, that I would shoot her again tomorrow, given half the chance. Hugely and highly recommended, and super fun into the bargain. She will be back!! X

Stephanie is one of those models that has been on my radar and want to work hit list for some time so it was great to finally get to shoot with her yesterday evening.

Coming amply prepared with outfit choice we waltzed through 8 looks in our time together running through headshots/beauty portraits through fashion, lingerie and some fashion nudes.

Versatile can often be used rather loosely and cheaply round these parts but Stephanie is a bit of a revelation in front of camera, matching mood and effortlessly flow posing appropriate to the lighting and outfit. Full of ideas herself there's never a shortage of something worth shooting.

Add to this a really easy going conversational approach to her work, with a healthy dollop of self-deprecation and humour and you have a consummate professional that's so easy to get along with.

We've already tentatively discussed a second shoot later in the year and I look forward to it.

Very happy to recommend.

I had the pleasure of shooting Stephanie this week. Something I've been wanting to do for a long time. Communications were easy and Stephanie turned up on time and fully prepared. We explored quite a few different concepts in our time togther and Stephanie's desire to acheive the shots we were after never faultered, even though she was feeling unwell. Something I only realised towards the end of the shoot. A true professional.

If you are looking for a versatile, professional and easy to work with model. Look no further.

Highly recommended

I finally had the opportunity to shoot alongside Stephanie! She is a great model so I was very excited by the opportunity to work with her!

Stephanie poses effortlessly, and is so easy to work with. The results look amazing!!!

If you get an opportunity to work with her grab the chance whilst you can :D

Highly recommended.

This was, without doubt , one of the most intriguing, interesting and enjoyable shoots that I have had all year ! I have been trying to arrange a shoot with Stephanie for some time, and finally everything came together and I had a whole day of her wonderful company and a whole day for shoot time !

I knew I wanted to explore and experiment toward b&w portraiture , and there is no better model for this style than Stephanie ....but I never realised how much I was going to learn !

From my point of view, working with a model who is patient is essential ! And Stephanie is all of that,but also wonderfully enthusiastic, creative and inspiring with her encouragement . It was a joy to work with someone who wasn't critical at mistakes but happily guided me, and who could pose with such ease that the pressure was only on the camera ! It was a fascinating day in the company of a lovely lady and I am over the moon with the results and , perhaps more, with everything I learnt . Highly recommended ! T x

This shoot has taken a while to arrange due to my complicated lifestyle but finally we made it happen today. Stephanie arrived early and once refreshed with a cup of my badly made tea we set to work. Stephanie looked amazing from the very start, posing seamlessly and was so easy to get on with.

Most of my work is quite dark but it seems Steph broke me today (in a good way) and we shot some light, bright portraits. The time flew by and sadly all too soon it was time for Steph to go.

Back of the camera images looked fantastic but I expected no less from a model of Stephanies calibre, the only issue will be narrowing it down to a few images to edit.

Hope to be another chance to work with Stephanie very soon and see where our creative journey takes us!

An afternoon shoot with Steph at Studlands. Even though Steph travelled almost the length and breadth of the country in the couple days prior to our shoot she arrived in good spirits and ready to go.

The great light we had along with Stephanie excellent posing, and boy does she know how to pose, allowed us to make some fantastic images. We very quickly achieved the desired images working a number of sets and different looks. Looking forward to editing and sharing the images.

Highly recommended and would most definitely like to work with Steph again.

I’ve wanted to work with Stephanie for some time, and was able to arrange a shoot that would coincide with her travel to the south. I wanted to create some more sensual and expressive images in black and white for my portfolio and Stephanie ably assisted in that. She is an expert model when it comes to understanding what the photographer is trying to create and adapts her style and pose to suit. Stephanie came with full bags of outfits and make up and looked superb. I’m very happy with how the shoot went and the quality of images we created. Highly recommended, a real joy to work with!

My second shoot with Stephanie, this time down at Studland, was another amazing session with a highly talented model at the top of her game.

Steph is fabulous to work with, relaxed but totally professional with a fabulous look that always delivers shot after shot.

I would recommend Stephanie in a heartbeat.

I had an excellent shoot with Stephanie at my home studio.. Stephanie is a very friendly, intelligent and professional model. She arrived on time with bags of excellent outfits and make up. She poses naturally and with great creativity and also takes directions well.

I highly recommend Stephanie to other photographers, you will not be disappointed. I look forward to working with Stephanie in the future,

Danny.

Had my second shoot with Stephanie, and I sincerely hope it will not be my last. She's amazing.

Pre-shoot communications were excellent, and the shoot was arranged and confirmed with the minimum of fuss.

During the shoot Stephanie really brought out her creative side and helped create a some fantastic looks, so many different sets, and some winning images. Her makeup skills are exemplary, as are her many varied poses.

Fun to be around and really helped bring out my creativity. Definitely recommended.

A little slow adding this reference so my apologies Steph.

What a great evening shoot!

Pre shoot comms was spot on and agreed with Steph the style and images I was looking for.

On the evening Steph was ready with makeup already done when I arrived. Agreed location and despite the rain we had a great shoot. Steph provided valuable input to the images, lighting and locations (local knowledge) which was much appreciated.

Just one complaint - I've got so many great images to choose from, my editing is going to take me ages lol - only joking Steph. So pleased with the results.

Thank you Steph for a great evening shoot. Recommended? Absolutely!
