Had a lovely shoot yesterday afternoon with Saffron and Ashleigh at The Retreat Outpost organised by Tabitha Boydell. Both models were excellent and worked well with the horses we used. They were very well prepared and made sure we got some excellent results. The staff at Retreat and Tabitha were also amazing and nothing was too much trouble. Thank you, hope to work with you all again sometime, best wishes Jann :-)

Had my second shoot today with Tabitha and what a treat. Her pre shoot comms as always are spot on which helps me as the model massively. She even puts little google map screenshots in her direction info sheet- ideal for someone like me who ALWAYS gets lost!

Tabitha is incredible, she knows when to get involved and when to step back; allowing her participants freedom whilst being supported. Her styling is one of a kind and the 2 locations she picked today were lovely.

Can't wait for our shoot again in a month's time and I am very excited for all of our future shoots we have booked in. If you haven't worked with Tabitha yet, YOU ARE MISSING OUT ♥

I had the absolute honour of getting to work with Tabitha at this beautiful location she had found in Devon. When I saw Tabitha's casting come up I literally jumped at the chance of working with her - and honestly I was not disserpointed.

Firstly she has THE most incredible eye for styling and creativity which she uses at every part of the shoot - I was in awe of how she just knew what would work and what didn’t in terms of where to shoot to get the most out of the two hour shoot we had and if it wasn’t working she moves on - I love the way she works it totally matches my own personality - if it doesn’t work move on until it does work. I felt that we were really in sync there.

Secondly she just knows when she has some good shots and doesn’t over shoot - that comes with experience and she is clearly at the top of her craft.

I felt that I was working with a photographer who really knows what she is doing - in terms of styling, photography and creativity. You will not find many that have these qualities. I’m so happy I had the chance to work with Tabitha - it was a career goal to get to work with her because I adore her work So much - so I’m a really happy girl.

Tabitha xx thank you xxx and models if you get the chance you have to work with this lady she really is very special and you might get to wear a couple of fairytale dresses :) xx

This weekend saw me attend a location shoot in Devon organised by the brilliant Tabitha.

The shoot was very well organised at this fantastic venue, lots of lighting scenario's available to complement the ambiant lighting,

Tabitha worked with the photographers all the way running lighting, extensions,and props to add different options to the final image.

The gowns modeled were immaculately presented and very photogenic.

Tabitha has a lovely nature and is well respected in the photography world for good reason.

Simply put.."if you want to get better, get with the best"

Highly recommended 👌

I worked with Tabitha for the first time on one of her fabulous workshops in Devon. The effort she goes to with the styling is incredible! We had just amazing dresses and headpieces to go with every look.

Her location scouting is amazing as well. What a beautiful place she had found.

She's very good at arranging everyone and the day as well so it all went smoothly and everyone had so much time to shoot. It didn't feel rushed at all.

Tabitha is also a lovely friendly person to work with and spend the day with as well.

I would highly recommend Tabitha and her spectacular events!

OMG! I just love working with Tabitha, she books fab locations, brings amazing outfits, hires lovely models to work with and then brings together a group of lovely photographers who always seem to come up with completely different ideas.

I love these workshops so much and clearly Tabitha does too so if you haven't booked onto one then you are missing out the opportunity for some fun, fab shots and new friends.

I attended the 'Urbex and Frill' event in Stirling Scotland. This was Tabitha's first Scottish event and it was excellent. The location was great and the models perfect for the location with her usual amazing dresses and styling. The event was very well organised and managed. The sessions were tightly managed for time and location and yet there was flexibility and room for improvisation. Lighting was provided in key areas and overall it was a really enjoyable event. Thanks Tabitha and hope to see you again. Highly recommended.

Attended the White Room shoot at the Boardroom yesterday that was arranged by Tabitha, and I would highly recommend her. She is friendly and easy to work with, gave great directions as to what was required by all photographers. Shoot ran like clockwork very organised all where very pleased and got the pictures I was looking for.

I had the pleasure of working with Tabitha for the first time today as a model at her drone shoot.

Tabitha from the get go is polite, has a great sense of humour and is so well prepared. Her pre shoot comms are spot on and that helps me massively :)

She laid out all of the different sets, had organised all of the outfits and finer details, spoke to all of the photographers to ensure that they were happy and was always making sure I was alright and warm enough :D

I have wanted to work with Tabitha for a while now and I am so happy we finally made it happen :)

I hope this is the first shoot of many. I would highly recommend working with Tabitha and coming along to her events (if they haven't already sold out!)

I had the great pleasure of working with Tabitha at her recent Pre-Raphaelite & forest animals themed shoot.

I have admired her work for some time and thus jumped at this opportunity as she was 'only' 3 hours away - wow I was not disappointed.

Good pre-shoot communications, excellent organisation and facilitation on the day and well chosen location, models, outfits. The huge bonus of unusual animals plus two dedicated keepers made for a magical day. As well as photographing them held by two beautiful models, I also got to hold a beautiful Fenix Fox and a playful Meercat, stroked some very tame bunnies and wonderful little Madagascan 'Not a hedgehog' - worth the trip on their own :-)

I had become disillusioned with group shoots of late due to 5 min shooting slots via timers meaning an awful lot of waiting around, then feeling rushed when it is your turn.

Tabitha's shoot was completely different, she set up multiple sets and costume changes which the attendees rotate around to shoot at but there is more than enough time on each set to plan and execute your images with NO waiting around and NO rush.

If you're reading this and considering joining one of her events - just do it - you'll love it - very highly recommended.

I had the good fortune to attend one of Tabitha’s events yesterday - a Pre Raphaelite scenario at Far Forest with lovely models Ivory Flame, Rosie Lea and Silk. Tabitha provided some beautiful sets, props and outfits and her organisational skills were such that the whole occasion flowed seemlessly. I enjoyed it immensely. I look forward to going to future events and would recommend them to all togs!😀

Saffie

I was part of the incredible workshop at far forest studio which Tabitha set up. She organised it perfectly, with plenty of sets, outfits, props and she also had exotic animals for me and the other models to work with. The pictures so far look amazing!

Tabitha's amazing portfolio speaks for itself! She's an incredibly accomplished photographer and I highly recommend her events - very well organised, once-in-a-lifetime locations and outfits I didn't want to take off. If you attend as a photographer (or model), you are absolutely guaranteed jaw-dropping shots. Already buzzing to model at her event next May :D

Miss Rosie Lea

I’d been a massive fan of Tabitha’s work for years so I was delighted when she recently booked me for three photography events over a two week period. The first event took place at an amazing period home location, and the second and third were held at a local studio and featured beautiful animals as co-models.

Tabitha is a creative tour de force and it’s hard not to get swept up in the magic she creates with her plastic bags full of Ivy tendrils and tulle. It was such a joy to see everything come together and, honestly, I just felt privileged to be a part of that process.

There also aren’t many jobs where you can wrangle a skunk dressed in a ballgown and feel utterly productive. Needless to say I had the best time!

Tabitha is an amazing host and her workshops are attended by the most diverse and creatively minded characters and it was so much fun meeting and/or catching up with them all.

Photography-wise Tabitha’s portfolio says much more than I ever could but the images she had kindly shared with me are amongst my absolute favourites of my career.

I’d recommend Tabitha to other models without hesitation. To be honest you’d be mad not to jump at the chance! Thanks so much Tabitha ❤️

I attended one of Tabithas organised shoots and couldn't be happier. It was well run, very friendly, great fun, with excellent models and sets. I ended up with some lovely images.

Highly recommended

I had my first shoot with Tabitha and it went really well, just as expected!

The location for the shoot was in Avenham Park in Preston it was such a lovely location to shoot in and with the dresses that Tabitha brought along it worked out amazingly. Tabitha was very professional, organised and easy to work with!

I really enjoyed the shoot and I'm looking forward to seeing the images,Thank you!

Had my third shoot at an event organised by Tabitha today. As with her previous shoots it was extremely well organised and professionally run. The model (Elle Baldwinson) and costumes were perfect for the theme and resulted in some amazing photographs being created. Highly recommended.

Had a second shoot with an event organised by Tabitha - involving two models a stately home and some amazing couture dresses and headpieces. The event was well organised with Chris on lighting set ups and working across the rooms in the building , with three changes of outfits. For adding something classic to your portfolio and the ability to shoot in some amazing locations - this is a must for any photographer. Highly recommended :)

Worked on my first event with Tabitha and finally got to meet her in person yesterday!

What an absolute delight she is to work for. She was always quick in pre-comms, if I had any questions or needed help arranging travel/other admin, she was always there to help me.

On the day, Tabitha was very organised and extremely professional. I got to wear beautiful designer gowns and millinery pieces, everything was a perfect fit - I can see that there is a lot of thoughts gone into the styling because I haven't tried the outfits before the event and Tabitha was working purely off the measurements I've sent her.

Tabitha has a very kind nature and is very welcoming. Saying that, she was also very much in control of the running of the event and made sure all of the photographers in the group got exactly the same amount of shooting time.

I am very happy with how the event went and so looking forward to three more events together that we have lined up for this year!

Sending lots of love ♥

Highly recommend
