I had my first shoot with Nicole on a Workshop at Basford Hurst Cottage.

To say she is emthusiastic is a slight understatement. She is a lovely person who needs little instruction in posing, very adaptable and helpful. Nicole goes out of her way to make sure the photographer gets the shot they want.

I thoroughly recommend her and will certainly be working with her again in the future.

My Second shoot with Nicole, again during one of her's and Owens workshops

Nicole is great, such a fun person to be around and an amazing model, I feel so lucky to have been able to work with her twice now.

This time we were doing a lighting workshop at Basford cottage Nicole posed beautifully for us throughout the workshop, no complaints her even though I'm sure it must of got a bit chilly inside

I'm very happy with the photos we all created together that day , and hope to be able to work with Nicole again soon on a 121

I'm not sure where to start with a second reference for Nicole! She is a privilege to work with.

Our last shoot had been on a stupidly hot day at her flat where she created a set full of rubbish. This time was a very different setting and environment as she and Owen Lloyd were running a location lighting workshop at Basford Hurst, hosting 3 photographers.

Nicole bounded in as a bundle of energy and ideas and posed fantastically throughout the day - she really is a master of her craft and knows exactly what poses work. She is so committed to getting the shot right for everyone.

Safe to say the shots I walked away with look superb before any editing!

I know I will be working with Nicole again, hopefully soon - and she cannot be recommended highly enough!

I have wanted to work with Nicole for a long time, but diaries have never aligned until now, and I am so glad that we finally got to shoot together

I am not sure what I can add to all the positive references Nicole has, but I will try

There is a reason she has been one of the top models on PP for as long as she has - Super talented, professional and great fun to shoot with. Nicole was fantastic to work with and she is great at working with you to get the best out of your ideas

Highly recommended

It was our first shoot ever this weekend and I am totally bowled over how well we got on together right from the first minute. Nicole is amazingly funny, chatty, knowledgeable and above all extremely professional. Our time together flew very fast but we covered tons of looks and sets. Studio shooting and then outdoors for really hi- fashion. Thank you so much for being Nicole Rayner you were better than I could imagine and the images are stunning!!! We will be shooting again before the year is out for sure :) Yes I would very definitely recommend Nicole all the way...

I had wanted to work with Nicole for ages, long before COVID but just never got the opportunity.

That all changed when I booked onto a workshop with Nicole and Owen Lloyd at The Kiln Studio. Supposed to be a group workshop, however I ended up being on a 1:1 tutoring session and I learned so much from both Nicole and Owen.

Nicole is just fantastic to work with, full of energy, enthusiasm, very professional and supportive, and with a great personality. She worked really hard to ensure my day was not just productive from a learning experience but also that I came away from the day with great shots.

Nothing was too much trouble for Nicole and what was a full day shoot went by in a flash. We shot lots of different lighting and posing setups, each one well explained and excellently carried out.

My wait to shoot with Nicole was well rewarded and I’m looking forward to editing the shots from this shoot and planning for a return visit.

I would 100% recommend working with Nicole.

Another wonderful photoshoot with one the best Nicole, we went to Basford Hurst Cottage for a 1 year anniversary shoot (plus it nearly 6 years since Nicole and I started working together, (Team NiNe)

We got through quite few ideas, I wanted to use my Lensbaby on the shoot trying different techniques with blur so will see what the results are in due course.

Highly recommend by me, here's to the next Team NiNe outing

Nicole is a fantastic model and a wonderful human being! That’s it, that’s the review!

Seriously though, I could not have wished to have worked with a more accomplished and professional model than Nicole, and I was delighted that Owen Lloyd had chosen her as our model for the day, when I signed up for a one to one tuition session with him.

As well as being brilliant at what she does as a model, Nicole has a really nice engaging personality and a great sense of humour. It was an absolute pleasure working with her, and I’m looking forward to working with her again.

Thank you Nicole for helping to make the day, the whole experience, such an unforgettable experience! 100% recommended!

Another FAB shoot with one of my fave models to work with, and my second shoot at Creating The Studio in Stoke. We had such wonderful fun shoot the 4hr seemed to fly by again...

Without a doubt Nicole is highly recommend by me. Here is to our 2024 shoots.

First time working with Nicole and hopefully the first of many. A joy of a person and a joy to photograph. Nicole’s understanding of her craft is incredible. Not participating just as model but creative director in working together to set scenes, get the right light etc. Nicole is engaging, fun and a complete professional I can’t wait to share the shots we made and am looking forward to work together again

So last weekend I attended an event at the fabulous Kiln Studio which was run by Nicole and the team there. Nicole showed that she is not just a great model but is able to put on a great event too.

She is very confident in front of camera and adapts to different sets effortlessly.

I highly recommend Nicole and the rest of the team at the kiln 👏

I had the absolute pleasure of working with Nicole, on an event she organized at the Kiln Studio. I cannot express enough how amazing the experience was. From the moment we started working together, I could sense her vibrant and positive energy radiating in the room. Nicole is truly a breath of fresh air, and her bubbly personality is infectious.

Not only did Nicole bring an unparalleled level of enthusiasm to the shoot, but she also had an incredible ability to connect with me on a personal level. We instantly hit it off and our creative synergy was simply magical. It's rare to find someone who understands your vision and shares the same passion for capturing stunning images, but with Nicole, it was an effortless collaboration.

Working with Nicole was an absolute joy. Her positive energy and passion for what she does are truly inspiring.

What a fantastic model!

Working with Nicole is always an absolute pleasure, whilst generally we dont actually get to spend that much time as I am busy running around setting lights and making sure attendees are getting great shots. I know with confidence if Nicole is posing as part of the team the photographers are getting great results, its hard not too with her.

Highly recommended model to work with and an absolute must for your portfolio.

Get yourself booked!

Always creative, graceful and focussed, Nicole is a delight to shoot with. As part of one of our (Creative Photography Events) group shoots, I knew that the photographers would be guaranteed some superb images, and I was not wrong!

Nicole is an absolute marvel and not to be missed!

This was my first shoot with Nicole at Basford Hurst Cottage with an art nude thyme .. I'd met her on a couple of social occasions and couldn't wait to work with her as she's extremely friendly and fun!

Her endless poses and ideas were fabulous .. As you can see from her huge portfolio, her toned slim figure is a delight to photograph .. Nicole offered poses outside the box, including handstands and various other poses which made many great pics.

I'm already planning on booking her for a small group shoot as I'm very excited to work with Nicole sometime very soon.

All the folk in our group all spoke highly of Nicole.

In a nutshell, a huge recommendation for anyone who'd like an outstanding model.

Thanks Nicole, and I look forward to working with you soon x
