We just had another fabulous shoot with Helen Stephens. We love her- she's expressive, smart, and puts a lot of thought into her modelling. And you just can't beat her eyes on camera :) Thoroughly recommended!

I can't believe I forgot to leave this lady a reference after another outstanding shoot together! Shame on me.

If you've got down as far as the references then I don't really need to say much more. Just look at the work above! If you still need convincing after all of those beautiful images there's not much I can say.

Helen is just perfect. Great sense of humor, flawless modeling skills and an extremely creative person. Working with her is always an enjoyable experience.

Highly recommended.

Wow........waited patiently for me at the station when I was late and got stuck in traffic. That's the first plus point......the second, third, fourth and so on plus points? Basically BOOK THIS LADY!!! She is blummin awesome! Stop-you-in-your-tracks striking in the flesh, but disarmingly natural, funny, open and friendly to boot. Prepared beyond my expectations in regards to clothing and styling, more than happy to throw into the shoot as much as I was in regards to creativity and ideas, entirely comfortable saying what she thought and pushed ME to ideas that I have never really done before. I cannot recommend Helen highly enough. Was one of THE most enjoyable and creative shoots I have had so far and would jump at the chance to work with her again and pick her brains on a few more ideas. Oh and she's rather partial to a Jaffa cake or two. Go armed.....I think you will find she will be grateful :) Total superstar. Can't thank her enough! Here's hoping there is a next time!

My third shoot with Helen and great fun as before. Apart from looking stunning she has a great sense of humour and is so easy to work with. Totally professional with her modelling but we had lots of laughs along the way and all the shots I wanted by the end of the shoot. As a photographer herself she has an appreciation of what you are trying to do artistically and knowing how best to help with her posing and ideas to achieve the shots you are after. I have no hesitation in recommending Helen to other photographers. Thank you Helen, I look forward to working with you again soon.

What to say about Helen - well she is absolutely adorable and easy to get along with. Being a hairstylist I subjected her to torture of teasing and backcombing her hair without any complaints. She took direction well from the photographer which really wasn't needed as she brings her own flair and inspiration to the shoot. I would definitely recommend her. Really versatile and reasonable rates.

Well what a nutter Helen is, she just loves modelling and getting her kit off, she can't resist joining in. Helen came on the PhotoClassic workshop this weekend as a photographer. However, after two days of taking photos in the dull misty rainy days and getting some great photos herself, she couldn't resist in joining in as a model and climbing into the loch with Rachelle and Kiera.

It was sunny and warm on day 3 may I add, so that may have had something to do with it. Lol!

Thanks Helen, got some great photos I wasn't expecting to get.

I'm not really sure what to say. Helen modelled on my Art Nude in the Landscape Workshop last year and did a fantastic job.

This year she decided to book herself on the same workshop as a photographer and try her hand from the other side of the camera and doing a pretty damn good job of that too.

However, the urge to model became too strong and on the final day of the workshop, whilst everyone else was busy shooting the models in a huge waterfall, Helen was secretly stripping behind them.

Like a mutant zombie badger, Naughty Helen appeared from nowhere and added her own contribution to everyone's shots.

Helen is not only a fantastic model but a pretty handy photographer with a great eye for a shot and she's also a great laugh to be around, so whether you are a model or a photographer, do yourself a favour and book her.

Helen doesn't need any more refs but I want to add my mine anyway. Warm, friendly chatty,funny & just a joy to work with. Very Professional, grips the concept instantly & the leads the way. Had a great time & would love to work with Helen again, hopefully on location. Nearly forgot .. very beautiful as well.

Had a great shoot with Helen today.

She was punctual, fully prepared and more important an absolute star.

I had so much fun working with Helen and the results were astounding. She is funny, hard working and exceptionally personable. Her intuitive knowledge of what' was required was top notch and I sincerely hope to work with her again as many times as geography will allow.

Highly recommended.

I've been wanting to work with Helen for a long time and when the opportunity arose, I was very happy that Helen accepted my offer.

Even though Helen was not feeling well, we took it easy and relaxed and Helen still managed some great poses; Helen even entertained my creative side to do a Triple Self Portrait inspired by Norman Rockwell!

What made the shoot special, was Helen staying with me and chatting away; although this was not a requirement of the shoot or staying with me, it was welcome and I feel I got to know someone I worked with just that little better, which I find helps with the shoot. 8-)

Helen did a fantastic job on a recent full day of studio workshops I was running. It was a lot of hard work, with six photographers in each session and several changes. It was a long hard day but Helen continued to give everything throughout, always with a smile and a great sense of humour, even though she must have been exhausted by the end. My workshop delegates were delighted and I am sure they will want to book her when she next visits Aberdeen. This is the third time Helen has provided the modelling talent for my workshops and every time has been fantastic. She's a lovely person with a bubbly personality that makes working with her an absolute blast. Very highly recommended :-)

Had been in touch with Helen for a while as she has always stood out as someone I must shoot with because of her beauty and versatility. Finally got the chance during Helen's tour of Scotland and what a pleasure. She quickly put me at ease as a hotel room is far from my typical shoot. She put great energy and emotion into our shoot. The style was different but Helen does pretty, edgy and seductive so well and produced great results. Thank you so much Helen, highly recommended!

Had a great shoot today with the lovely Helen as part of her Scotland tour. As she was shooting in Edinburgh and then Dundee I persuaded her to make a small detour via my studio in St Monans, Fife, and I'm so glad I did.

Helen is a total professional, throughout her communications were excellent, she came with a fantastic wardrobe of outfits, her make-up skills are excellent and she is a pleasure to work with. All in all a great model who I can't recommend highly enough.... :-)

Worked with Helen yesterday evening. She was very easy to work with and wanted to get the best out of the shoot. I would happily book her again.

Thanks again.

I shot with Helen last month and had a superb time! Such a lovely person and fun to shoot with, I'm really hoping we get booked together again sometime. Photographers- work with this beautiful person, you will love her :)

This is a long overdue reference for Helen.

I was able to work with Helen at a superb event she organised at the Hotel de Ville.

It was a great experience, she is fun, clever, beautiful and relaxed. Highly recommended.

Models like Helen are rare and to be cherished

She brings a frank, open, honesty, which offers a creative stimulus to a shoot.

She is unselfconscious, and easy to work with.

But be prepared for mischief and intelligence,

But also celebrate them, because they will in classic moments give you something special.

She works hard and is totally professional, just don't buy the pretty image,

there is more to garner if you make the effort.

But best of all she is down to earth and companionable at a shoot

I'm not sure what else you could ask for

I had, typically for me, a hastily arranged shoot with Helen in response to a casting she put up. The shoot was in a very nice hotel room in the late afternoon. Helen's pre shoot communication was great, and she sourced everything that I requested for the shoot. I was shooting polaroids and wanted a specific look that Helen absolutely nailed. :) I got all the shots I wanted and had a good chat too :) Very easily recommended.

I had a great shoot with Helen last week. Her Pre-Shoot communication was fantastic, she is an amazing creative and versatile Model, with whom you could develop Ideas with, and have a chat to as well. Highly Recommended.
