Cat was great to work with, very professional and a great looking model I would highly recommend her

Cat modelled for a Steampunk-themed night at our Photographic Society. Pre-shoot comms were excellent.

Cat wore a fabulous and appropriate outfit. She was very patient with those photographers less-experienced in working with models, and proved popular with all.

Definitely recommended.

I had the absolute pleasure of working with Queen Cat today. She is a stunning model who has beauty and charm in spades. Her pre-comms were excellent and she came extremely well prepared with a range of outfits, wigs and impeccable makeup.

I've been looking through the photos from today and I can only say that she is absolutely amazing in all of them! She knows exactly what her strengths are and plays to them resulting in a shoot that is impossible to fault.

I highly recommend you book a shoot with Queen Cat right now!...I guarantee you won't be disappointed! :) Look forward to shooting with you again, friend! x

Second shot with the wondrous Lelia today. She is SUCH a ball of energy, so positive and happy.

Did some stuff today which was a totally new genre for her and she rocked it 100%.

She is a super expressive model, is a perfectionist and knows exactly how to make herself look her absolute best. Also has one of the best suitcases full of amazing stuff that I've seen!

Just a super person, great to work with ,funny and great taste in music too!

Off to listen to some more Alestorm! Arghh Me Hearties!

Lelia stayed with me for a few days recently and shot both in the studio and outdoors. She is fun to work with and has a very good sense of style.

She looked stunning in everything she wore whether a Victorian dress, evening dress or in very classy corsets and lingerie. She also brought some wigs which could transform her appearance. I might add that as a guest she was easy to accommodate and cater for.

The first full day of her stay especially we rather over-did the shooting and the poor lady eventually returned home exhausted with the shoot and all the travelling! However looking back over the results, there are some images I am personally very pleased with, so hopefully the effort was worth it.

Thanks Lelia you were great and I would be happy to shoot with you again any time.

I was very humbled when Lelia travelled up from London today to shoot with me. Great comms, comes with a fab wardrobe and is great fun to work with.

Accomplished at posing and willing to be directed to fine tune things. Bubbly and energetic and has tons of creative ideas - the shoot whizzed by with Melvic Makeup in attendance with two great looks.

Highly recommended and I'll really look forward to working on the images

Just had the best possible day with Lelia today! She is so much fun to be around and is a super super model.

The styling of her steampunky, gothy, victoriany look is just amazing, so much attention to detail and she just has that whole "look" totally nailed.

Too many gorgeous shots to choose from. An accomplished model and a lovely person, 100% would work with again!

Just finish a duo photoshoot with Cat Lady Lelia and Llamandra. Both really pleasant and punctual. Turned up smiling happy for the shoot. Got to the location and started straight way. Shoots was amazing, fun and comfortable. Both worked really good together. Easy going person would highly recommend.

Looking forward to shoot again.

Had a very productive and most enjoyable shoot with Lelia the other day. Has a great vision of what she wants to achieve bringing along all that is needed for the theme in hand. A stunning model, very photogenic with a friendly and amiable attitude throughout. Communication before, during and after could not be better. Puts great effort into her work which gives her the required results. Definitely a great model to have on a shoot..absolutely recommended.

I worked with Lelia on a shared outdoor shoot with my husband, Paul, and found her to be enthusiastic and keen to try different styles of pose. She had brought changes of outfit for some fashion photography and variations on a wonderfully goth Victorian look. Despite the weather - it was really cold - Leilia was good-humoured and keen to ensure that we had plenty of shooting, making suggestions for different locations and poses.

Paul@WestFive

My first shoot with Lelia, shared with my wife Kristin. Pre-shoot comms were excellent, and included a face to face meeting.

I wanted to shoot the Cat Lady's trademark Victorian look, whilst she was keen to explore new avenues - in this case summer fashion. Unfortunately the July day turned out to be more like November. Nevertheless, Lelia braved the elements with good humour and we returned with pleasing images from both genres.

Lelia arrived with an excellent selection of clothes, and proved fun to work with. If you are looking to add some "Victorian inspired Romantic Goth with a touch of Steampunk" to your portfolio, then contact the Cat Lady.

I Recently had the pleasure of working with Lelia for the first time

Pre Shoot coms were excellent and we discussed ideas for the shoot and came up with a plan

On the day of the shoot Lelia arrived early, and brought a wide selection of outfits and accessories

Lelia is really easy to get on with and the time flew by, both in the studio and out on location

Great fun and a ton of super images

Looking forward to our next shoot

Highly recommended

Thanks for a very enjoyable shoot!

What a lovely model! Lelia and I chatted a while ago about an idea for a character I'd had tickling my brain for a while. She was evidently very "up for" bringing the character to life. So we booked a shoot.

Prior to the shoot Lelia's communication was great. Her enthusiasm shines through in writing, but really blossoms when you meet this lovely young lady. You can see how attractive she is from her existing portfolio, what only gets hinted at is her wit, charm and the excitement she brings to a shoot (though the gentle smile and hint of cheek in the eyes gives a good clue. She arrived with a case containing not only the outfit for the character we'd agreed, but several others, and a particularly striking wig.

We managed several sets before the weather closed in around us, Lelia bringing her own grace to each. We sat and smiled ourselves through the raw output, I think it's fair to say we're both very happy with the shoot results.

Happily we didn't get to use the striking wig. Why happily? Because I'm definitely going to shoot with her in it, giving me the perfect excuse to invite her back, to which she's already agreed.

Highly recommended. Thanks Lelia

I had the imminence pleasure of meeting up with the delightful Cat Lady Lelia yesterday to throw around some ideas for shoots, and well it looks like were going to be busy very soon :-)

As two models with two very different styles it was all about seeing how far we can push our limits and hopefully touch on subjects in our images that will make people take a small gasp shortly before they smile.

So watch this space this could be the start of something lovely.

All the best.

Lelia is a bundle of infectious enthusiasm, she is full of ideas, she gets the ideas sorted, and delivers at the shoot. At our recent shoot she sorted her own MUA, a dress from a designer and had lots of ideas as the shoot went on. Shes great fun to shoot with, and you are guaranteed great results. She takes on the character that she portrays and this results in some very dramatic shots. I've already got another shoot booked with her, and planning another! This isn't just modelling its her art, its how she creates. Really looking forward to our next shoot!

Forest Moon

What a privilege to do a shoot with Lelia! Excellent pre-shoot communications, which really helped prepare our ideas for the location, and provided confidence that we'd work well together. She let me know promptly about some unavoidable travel delays. She brought some very well chosen costumes with her, and we had a very enjoyable day shooting. She was very assured in her poses and contributed a great deal to the ideas for using a fascinating location.

Highly recommended, and I hope we will work together again.

Oh! Don't forget the cup cakes!

I had a shoot with leila and fellow photographer Carmen Clarke yesterday at Forty Hall Enfield. Leila is a very lovely girl she turned up with a Victorian type dress and accessories all ready to start shooting but tea and coffee and of course a chat, she is so easy to get on with and had plenty of ideas on what she would like from the shoot and with our ideas combined we had a great afternoon, she is a lot of fun to be with a great sense of humour and i think if we did another shoot she could be a little mischievous. Towards the end of the shoot we did some fun shots and nothing was a problem for her. Would i recommend her yes most definitely.

Jayne Webb

had the lovely opportunity of working with this lovely lady today, beautiful model with lovely happy personality, would definitely recommend her to anyone, anytime xx

Carmen Clark

Had a great shoot with Lady Lelia on Sunday, I woke up feeling unwell and was a bit worried how the shoot would go, but once the adrenaline of the day (and the lemsip) kicked in it was fine and Lelia made it easy. She is a such a fun person, she looks amazing in the brilliant dress she wore. She has perfect skin which shines through on a shoot like this and she has great natural hair (despite what she thinks... ;-)) she was able to get right into the mood of the shoot with enthusiasm and creativity. Communications before the shoot were great - I would highly recommend her and hope to work with her again soon.

What can I say about Leila, other than I absolutely one hundred percent adore this chatty ray of sunshine! She is brighter and more colourful than the brightest of rainbows and as sweet as a bag of Jelly tots! It is very rare that you find such a humble, polite and also creative model that is up for anything (Including climbing trees, going to the middle of a lake in a giant swan and helping me convince kids that she really was a unicorn)

Recommend her highly- MORE Than highly. Love love love love her
