I try to find something unique to write about the people I work with. With Stephanie that's easy.

She understands light and how it interacts with the human form in way which is unparalleled in my experience.

Stephanie can then use that knowledge to create an elegant composition and impart it with mood, emotion and meaning. Any photographer, regardless of ability, could learn from her.

I don't want to give the impression that working with Stephanie is going to be a cerebral workout. If you just give her the vaguest of directions and let her get on with busting out some awesome poses she'll do that too.

And she's utterly professional, hard working, organised, well-equipped and has great taste in music. Recommended without hesitation.

It's been far too long since I last worked with Stephanie, today's shoot was a reminder of how great it is to work with her. Pre-shoot communications are clear and she turns up ready to work hard. Achieving the shots I had in mind was an absolute breeze, she makes shooting very easy and we soon had everything I wanted. Very easy to work with with fantastic results, it was also great to catch up. 100% recommended and I won't leave it so long next time :)

It had been a while since I worked with Stephanie, so when she was touring my area I was delighted to organise a shoot with her at Aura Studio.

Stephanie is such an experienced model, and has such an amazing understanding of lighting that she creates poses and body shapes that work perfectly together.

We worked from single light Portraits to tasteful Art Nude across 6 sets and Stephanie delivered on every one, giving constructive suggestions as we worked, producing a great range of images.

Stephanie is one of the top models on the circuit, and I have no hesitation in recommending her 100% to all levels of photographers. Thank you for a great shoot : )

I've left it far too long between shoots with Steph. I was quickly reminded of why she's one of the best models around. Her posing is effortless regardless of the setup or theme.

Outstanding model!

Had my 4th shoot with Stephanie last week, and this was the first time we shot in a studio. And a usual it was a very nice shoot that resulted in to many excellent photo that will take me ages to sort and edit.

I find it’s always a pleasure to work with Stephanie.

We did multiple styles, from portaits to bodyscapes.

Obviously i highly recommended her to anyone.

Already 5 years that I know Stéphanie and ten session together, always a great pleasure to see her again and to work with her, she is a very professional model

Had my first shoot with Stephanie yesterday and was very impressed! As a newbie to portrait photography I'm somewhat inexperienced with posing etc but this didn't matter as Stephanie didn't need any direction and her experience shows, we had a very productive shoot and we got some great images. We shot at Stephanie's home which is very nice and some cool areas around her home which are worth exploring. Pre communications were great and Stephanie was very happy to work with my minimal ideas! She was also very polite.

I would definitely recommend booking a shoot, thanks again :-)

Just realised that I wasn't on purpleport when I last worked with Steph, so didn't leave a reference.

I'll fix that now by saying she is one of the finest models I've worked with. Her looks speak for themselves, but her quiet, gentle yet constantly enthusiastic personality make working with her a delight. Her home provides all sorts of shooting possibilities and the surrounding countryside is an Aladdin's cave for the outdoor photographer.

Highly recommended

Thanks Steph, sorry it took so long

This was our third shoot and Stephanie and I had arranged to squeeze in a “home” shoot just before she jetted off on tour to the Antipodes the next day. It’s a pleasure to work with Stephanie, as shoots are easy to arrange (if she is around and not on tour!) and she is friendly with a good sense of humour, but, very professional, poses seamlessly and can be relied upon for good tips to make the most out of our images.

On the day, the weather was cool, still, misty and foggy – perfect for her nearby lake/jetty location and we got some really nice shots there before moving on to underneath a local viaduct when the mist cleared and the sun made an appearance spoiling the ambience at the lake. From there, it was home for tea & cake (ginger) and some natural light shots in the bedroom.

All in all a most productive and enjoyable shoot. Highly recommended.

What can you say about the awesome Stephanie that hasn’t already been said.

Funny

Friendly

Fantastic

Fabulous

A unique look that never ever fails to deliver.

Our second shoot, so I have known Stephanie for 8 hours. This shoot felt like we had known each other for 8 years. We chatted and drank coffee (and one of us ate a McMuffin...) and occasionally took some photos. And what fabulous photos they turned out to be.

Obviously highly recommended.

Thank you, until number 3.

This must be my fifth or sixth shoot with Stephanie, and the fact that I have worked with her so many times is testament to her professionalism. I out my models through their paces in challenging surroundings and Stephanie always delivers. I enjoy working with her and recommend her highly.

I recently had the enormous pleasure of working with Stephanie a lady I had been wanting to meet for some time. you will all have seen the many attributes shown to Stephanie in previous references and I have to add that she exceeded my expectations. From the moment that we met and planned the shoot over a cup of tea I felt immediately at ease. Not only is Stephanie a stunningly beautiful model but she also has an infectious personality and a great sense of humour. She is very creative and was keen to explore different looks so that we could achieve some unique images. We started off with a set in the kitchen which demonstrated to me how calm and relaxed she was. Then at her suggestion she chose a lovely autumnal outfit to go out on location and use some lovely red ivy and a willow tree as as a backdrop. with her ability we managed to create some super images even though the weather was rather grey with flat lighting. On our return over another cup of tea we moved onto some different styles using her home studio. Stephanie has a keen eye for textiles and textures and again with her ingenuity we were able to produce some excellent images with her inventive posing. Above all else it was a fun shoot and the time simply flew past! Conversation with Stephanie is easy and just flows.

We had a very productive day and it confirmed my view that this is someone I definitely want to work with in the future. Her empathy with me was outstanding and I hope that we have started on the journey of more creative work in the future.

Stephanie already comes highly recommended because of her looks but it is not until you meet her that her inner beauty shines through.

It is easy for me to recommend Stephanie.

Shoot with Stephanie was every bit as good as I expected from such a professional, experienced mode, if not even better!

We worked on a number of sculptural nudes and the results were wonderful.

Stephanie arrived a little ahead of time to prepare and worked her socks off to satisfy my every photographic whim!

I look forward to working with Stephanie again soon, and would highly recommend.

Yet another amazing shoot with Stephanie - it's always a joy working with her and over the years we have produced so many super images - each shoot so different.

we got great results and loved the shoot - a nice variety of classic, funky, pretty and fun!

Thank you so much Stephanie, fab working with you. Until next time

This was my first ever shoot with Stephanie, a model I had on my 'must shoot with' wish list! She didn't disappoint. Her professionalism, and versatility are amazing! Stephanie offers so much in terms of range, and fluidity of posing, that you will leave with so many incredible images. She gets the job done, is hard working, adaptable, and really pleasant to be in a room with. I love the images we made together, and if you haven't yet had the pleasure of working with her, I would highly recommend that you do!

Thank you Stephanie xxx

After many messages, Stephanie and I managed to allign our calenders and work together. I had quite specific looks I wanted to achieve and 15 to 20 standout images I wanted for for various applications amd competitions. Well Stephanie was prompt in the morning, somewhat unassuming in joggers and cardi... But that didnt fool me... A classy model and wonderful person. I pride myself in not being too serious in shoots and Stephanie seemed to go with the flow. She relaxed quickly and became a flow posing machine. She is strong but delicate at the same time and helped me create real works of art. Definitely recommend working with Stephanie if you havent already.

Today was a good day - I got to meet and work with Stephanie :-).

I thought it had been a while that we'd been messaging to arrange our first shoot but I realised it actually wasn't. To me, that's a sign of how much I had been looking forward to working with Stephanie.

You've seen Stephanie's portfolio so you don't need me to tell you how skilful, beautiful and beguiling she is.

Stephanie is a very skilful, beautiful and beguiling model. I'm sure it must have been said before (many times) but it's worth saying it again. Having said that, I now know that Stephanie, in person, is even more skilful, beautiful and beguiling than her portfolio would have you believe.

I've been very lucky to work with some truly fabulous models. However, Stephanie exudes a beauty, charm and calmness like no other. She is truly a unique and enchanting person.

Conversation with Stephanie was easy and relaxed. She is as interesting as she is stunning. She also has a wonderful style and a keen eye for moods, textures and image composition.

Her skills in front of the camera are also matched by her understanding of the needs and the abilities of the carbon-based life form at the back of it.

We had a very productive shoot that has only whetted my appetite for seeing what is possible for us to create together in the future.

Stephanie's physical appearance alone is enough to highly recommend her, but it is her delightful personality, demeanour and attitude that makes my recommendation absolutely set in stone.

Stephanie is pure class.

Had my second shoot with Stephanie today. The shoot was at her home and out and about locally. We captured some lovely images in the beautiful autumn colours that had started to appear. She has an extensive wardrobe to choose from and we selected a couple of outfits to blend with the colours.

The rest of the shoot was inside and we covered a range of artistic nude set ups. This was lovely and creative and, again, many lovely images were created.

Stephanie is lovely to work with, very relaxed, easy to get on with and is a very accomplished model. It was great to collaborate on the styling and posing to achieve excellent results.

Highly recommended.

Great to work with, helps to get the right shot.

Will make suggestions to get the best from the photographer.

Will definitely worh with stephanie again

Gideon

Another wonderful shoot with this lovely model. Steph has the gift of combining utter professionalism with a delightful sense of humour which makes shoots with her such fun.

She has an intimate knowledge of lighting and, though more than happy to follow direction, is exquisite when set free to interpret as she sees fit.

There is no doubt that we shall work together again - it would be foolish not to!

Thanks Steph, I had a most pleasurable day and my only concern is how I will whittle down which images to edit!
