I have shot with Keira lots of times and it is always an exhilerating experience.

This was the first remote shoot and I am very hooked on these sort of shoots.I enjoy the challenge of shooting, in what is often, a tight space, but we had the bonus of a heavy snowfall. This meant we spent time shooting Keira rolling in the snow, throwing snowballs and climbing into the hot tub as well as all sorts of stuff in the house.

As ever, Keira is a delight to shoot with and I have come away with hours of playtime with the images we got.

A bonus in this world of lockdown boredom.

I recommend Keira to all photographers and I am wondering what life will throw at us and where we will shoot next as a result of it all.

Thank you Keira for a great shoot and also your Remote Shoot expertise which went very smoothly and I got my images as fast as I could download them plus an instant download of jpegs for instant satisfaction..

I've lost count of the number of times I've worked with Keira but I can definitely say every shoot has been hugely successful. Keira is consistently excellent, always reliable and amazingly professional. She works really well with other models, everyone loves working with her. She makes my job really easy, interpreting my ideas and adding plenty of her own and completing much of it in one take saving editing time. I will continue to work with Keira on a regular basis and highly recommend her to others.

Keira is in the top ten of models I have wanted to work with for a long time and I'm so glad i decided to work with her, she is an amazing model brings so much fun and inspiration to the shoot that if you had ideas you will have lots more with Keira pitching in.

We shot at 2GStudios when Keira was on her way back home from her Scotland tour, I wanted to do art nude shapes with and without material that I had brought along which we got so many different ideas with.

I can highly recommend Keira I certainly want to work with her again as she mentioned something about a lift shaft which she posed in with previous photographer who didn't say anything about it in his reference, which has intriguing ideas for a future shoot.

So get in the queue which i have this feeling might be very long.

This is a huge thank you to Keira, on our shoot day just about everything that could go wrong did including me feeling very under the weather. Keira just took all the mishaps including trying a Nikon camera for the first time in her stride & when I wanted to give up she would have none of it. She's a real pro no question about it. God bless you young lady & thank you again.

More creative fun with Keira whilst she was on a mini tour of Scotland so we decided to offer some time together doing some duo's, this time doing a couple of duo's, one shooting at my home doing some celtic and bodyscape themes and a home shoot in the Glasgow area doing something a little more fetish/erotic. Keira was as ever extremely motivated, energetic and full of ideas. We had an amazing couple of shoots with yet again more exquisite and striking results with some very pleased photographers.

Arriving at my home promptly for our first shoot Keira was as usual chirpy and cheery, she always looks presentable and had a bag full of outfits and a car full also, as we had already discussed before hand what we were going to be doing we knew already what we were to wear for the first look which involved using a celtic themed backdrop the photographer had kindly brought along and then we did some experimental bodyscapes using some coloured LED lighting Keira had brought with her. :)

The next duo we did was through in Glasgow a couple of days later at the photographers home studio space which was incredible and it was a pleasure to shoot there with Keira in such an amazing space, the photographer being such a delight hosting us and having some beautiful set ups and accesssories for us to use which worked a treat and really set the mood for the type of images we were going for. With both shoots we really created something magical and unique with the photographers. :)

Keira is so engaging and when we are working together we can pose away freely bouncing ideas off each other and and no matter what kind of look your after she can do it all from natural, artistic and glam right through to dramatic and crazy. Nothing phases her and she is always focused and will go out of her way to make the shoot as productive and creative as possible.

It is always a breeze arranging shoots with this hard working lady as I always know she will be reliable, organised, punctual and so determined.

Highly recommended to all creatives. Do not miss out on the opportunity to work with this incredible, high spirited, enthusiastic model and amazing, lovely person.

Thanks again Keira, until next time. :)

I had the opportunity to work with this pocket dynamo while she was on her recent mini-Scottish-tour. This was a mixture of fashion and art nude, both of which Keira excels at.

It's always a pleasure to shoot with Keira and time just flies by when you are enjoying yourself. Keira glides from one pose to another with ease, so much so, I had trouble keeping up with her.

Great model, great personality and a whole lot more.

I have no hesitation in recommending Keira to all photographers, whether new or experienced.

I’ve lost count of the number of occasions that I’ve shot with Keira. Every time she exceeds the last. This shoot was arranged at short notice during her Scottish tour. As always Keira arrived on time and with bags full of outfits. The studio changing room was full of her clothing! The time flew in as she chatted her way through complex and flexible poses, and a range of expressions. It is always fun and productive to shoot with her, and this time certainly did not disappoint.

15 November 2021 - Duo Shoot Aurora Violet and Keira Lavelle - Perth

Both models are a total delight to work with, a freestyle theme, ambient reflected light, and the application of red and blue LED lighting ( provided by Keira )being chosen.

This is my fourth opportunity to work with this amazing lady, and a chance never to be missed. Results were absolutely amazing, and I will definitely be investing in this medium in the future as demonstrated by Keira.

Keira is extremely resourceful and creative, and I love the way she just throws herself in getting Fine Art results with the minimum of fuss - totally brilliant.

Keira and Aurora equally come with my highest recommendation, and I look forward to working with them both again.

Thanking you again.

Another Keira adventure in which we invaded a well known forest and scared the living daylights out of people, splashed about in rivers, jumped around rocks, did naughty things over a waterfall, went wild in a hermitage. We then dashed away and raided the local wine shop, then braved the reed beds on the river Tay, fell off branches, thrashed around in muddy bits...then sped off to the local tea store which had shut early. All in all another madcap escapade, looking forward to the next one.

If you haven't had a Keira adventure then book her now cuz like, you are missing out!

It was amazing to catch up and shoot with the lovely Keira. We have done a few shoots over the years but it had been quite a gap since the previous shoot. I had forgotten how good a shoot with her can be! She is charming, enthusiastic, can cope with almost any conditions and is brimming with ideas. Sadly a wooden structure I had previously seen on the beach had disappeared but this did not daunt or deter Keira. She was quickly building her own structure and looking for the best angle and the best light. She is very willing to share her expertise and advice and we produced some great ideas on a tribal theme. She looks amazing and was able to create some tribal make-up in minimal time. I can all be a bit of a whirlwind but you are left having had a great experience and with some really different images. Lots more I could say to recommend this amazing lady but suffice to say that hopefully it won't be such a long gap until the next time!

I had the absolute pleasure of working with Keira for the second time. Although it was a relatively short notice shoot we created some fantastic images that I'm very happy with. There is no other way to describe Keira other than the ultimate professional model. Not only in the way she poses and needs no direction whatsoever but also in how well she looks after herself with her workout routines and diet. It is obvious that she takes her job very seriously. In saying that Keira has a great sense of humour and is a lot of fun to spend time with. There is also the added advantage in that Keira is also a proficient photographer and is happy to offer advice when asked. During our short two hour shoot we did 2 latex outfits, an amazing set of beaded lingerie she brought along and an art nude set. I'm sure I'll work with her again next year and I would highly recommend her to all creatives. Thank you Keira.

It was great to catch up and shoot with Keira again after missing her last few tours for various reasons. As always, Keira brings fantastic energy and creativity to a shoot…she moves effortlessly through a never-ending series of poses at just the right speed to allow you synch into a really productive, fun groove. And as well as the mad shapes and contortions that are her signature style, she brings a varied and eye-catching wardrobe so you get a real mix of styles on a shoot.

And I also had the pleasure of hosting Keira for a couple of nights on her tour…she’s a lovely house guest and very easy going so it’s always good to be able to help out with her accommodation. If you get the chance of hosting a model, I thoroughly recommend giving a helping hand as life on the road is pretty hectic and tiring for a model.

Thanks for another fun shoot Keira!

Had my second shoot with Keira today. The last one was before Covid, otherwise it would have been sooner.

Keira while being absolutely professional, organised and a superb model, also manages to be interesting, fun and really great to shoot with.

After a quick look at the files, she has helped me produce a large number of excellent images.

A unique and utterly proficient model, very highly recommended.

Recently had a shoot with Keira for the first time and it was a fantastic experience.

Keira is really chatty, down to Earth and full of energy.

The aim of the shoot was based around bodyscape images. We used a mixture of using Keira's home for natural light shots and her studio whch is located in her local area.

Keira really shows her experience in front of the camera and takes a real interest in what she is doing, which really makes a positive impact on the whole experience. Bodyscape is clearly a forte of Keira's and some of the positions she can put herself in and the shapes created were amazing.

I have come away with many images to edit which I'm looking forward to. I'd recommend working with Keira to anyone and would totally love to work with her again!

Keira is simply magic. My original booking for today developed Covid symptoms and I immediately approached one of the A team to see if she was available at very short notice. Lucky for me the answer was yes and our umpteenth shoot was in place. A team player, utterly reliable, creative, a truly lovely person and a seriously good model are all accolades that come to mind. Keira doesn’t mind the cold, doesn’t mind the effort and consumes the extra mile. My ideas were quickly embraced and likewise her ideas were well and truly embraced, as I said, team player. I will never tire of working with this beautiful person, Keira is simply magic

I recently had an away trip to madeira with Keira, and the hardest part is where to start! Stating what has already been said before she is a great model with lots of amazing outfits and poses to boot.

I can only imagine the amount of time that goes into the preparation of these trips but it shows she has put a lot of thought and it has to be said it all seems so seamless to me! She scouted some mega locations where we got some immense shots and we even found a couple of wee gems we didn’t expect

All in all another fun event with Keira and still totally recommended.

I would like to take the opportunity to say thank you to Keira for the wonderful trip to Madeira she made happen. Keira and I spent 3 days together, working together to get the best photos possible. She has prepared a very well-organized trip, not only including a very exclusive villa with a nice pool, nice furniture in a quiet landscape. Did I talk about the food, she prepared? Delicious.

She also did a very detailed location scouting beforehand. If you are on a location and the golden hour is 90 minutes away, don’t think about a break. She has another location nearby for you which fits into that timeslot.

I have worked with Keira several times in the studio in Hamburg so I am aware of her capability to jump into different roles. What really surprised me was her creativity to generate new looks out of the environment by weaving leaves and tiny branches into her hair for example.

There is just one thing you have to be aware of. Keira is willing to take long walks for a good picture but be sure you can follow her. She does not waste time by strolling around the landscape, she attacks the destination she would like to go for. Try to follow her if you can.

Looking forward to the next shooting.

I was standing on my lawn thinking what I would really like to do was to go away somewhere interesting with a model, for a few days, and take lots and lots of photographs....when the phone rang and Keira asked if I would like to go to the far North of Norway for a few days and shoot some photographs.

So I said yes!

She had arranged a beautiful house overlooking a fiord and a car to travel in and Keira likes taking photogrphs.

We kept shooting all day and the sun shone and the skies were blue.

I have shot with her many times and it is always fun and photographically productive.

She only shouted at me once, and that was when my attention strayed when she was swimming in the sea.....the Arctic Sea.

Obviously, I can recommend Keira to all photographers and I hope our cancelled Polish trip comes to fruition.

Many thanks Keira for cheering me up and sending me mome with more than 2500 exciting images.

This is a long Reference but this fantastic lady deserves every word 😊

Covid has clipped our photographic travelling wings for the last 18 months

Too many plans and trips cancelled or put on hold

The light got turned back on with a message from Keira early August 2021

Remember that trip planned 18 months ago to The North Islands in Norway, well it may be back on, are you able to come?

Booked an outstanding Villa in the Sortland Area of Northern Norway

If the Norwegian Government lift restrictions and recognise UK Vaccine Passports WE CAN GO!!!!!!!!!

Anxious wait until 12th August, then it was confirmed

THE TRIP WAS ON for September 2021, my portion of the Extravaganza was to be from 21st September to 24th September, the final Portion of the adventure for Keira and Arts Voyage International

Frantic organisation at work and getting flights to tie up with the dates, needed 3 flights to get to the final destination of Evenes Airport near Narvick, followed ready to fly out on the 20th September to start the adventure.

Picked up straight from the Airport and chauffeured into a magical, awesome 4 day adventure, with the ball of energy that is Keira

We chatted on the journey back to the Villa about some ideas and how the next three days were to be organised

The villa was set on a rise over a Fiord and afforded spectacular views over the water to Sortland Bridge

The grand tour of the Villa followed and Top Grade Luxury was the minimum description for it

Cinema Room, Sauna Room, Jukebox/Music Area, Huge lounge area, Dining area, Hot Tub, Swimming Pool (Bit on the coldish side to try that 😊), Commercial Grade Kitchen and Great selection foods and snacks

Pond weed (Keira’s version tea) was available, but getting to Keira panic a bit levels, together with more standard tea, juice and coffee

Keira had provided very detailed information of the outfits available and 5 sets of pre scouted general areas with images, that were various travel times from the Villa

We sat down and planned a general approach to each day, time table and outfits to suit the various themes, then visited Sortland for a superb Local Fish Supper

Day 01 :

Planned Shoot and Location 01 : Remote upper hillsides, part wooded area around a Fiord, to suspension bridge over to remote Island

Weather : on waking up, to put it mildly was atrocious, very windy, raining, cold, overcast, rain turning horizontal and the kind that gets you seriously wet

Plans Abandoned Due to Weather : Not a chance, Keira smiling, no beaming, we have true Norway Weather

Weather as Day Progressed : and got worse as the day progressed only stopping when we had got back to the car at the end of the shooting

Distance covered 16 kms on wet, very wet spongy heather

Main Location planed of bridge conquered, 3 other locations found whilst out Awesome

Norway threw everything at us and we achieved awesome Images ALL DAY

Fun factor on a scale of 10 …….minimum 20

Returned to Villa wet, bedraggled and very happy Photographer

Early Dinner / Late lunch cooked and served to perfection

Evening Shoot : What do you get when you mix the Villa Sauna Room, Low Ambient light, candles, towels, Keira and a whole bundle of creativity : AWESOME IMAGES

Day 02 :

Planned Shoot and Location 01 : Sortland Coast line and breakwater

Special Purpose made dress, Amulet belt and Viking Helmet all combined into a brilliant first location shoot

Planned Shoot and Location 02 : Inland to fresh water lake nestled in between the mountains. Calm, still, peaceful, noisiest things were the fish bobbing to the surface of the lake. The images beautiful and serene in keeping with the location

Plannedish Shoot and Location 03 : Abandoned Hut on a Hill : Off the Wall Lost in the Wilds theme in brilliant location

Planned Shoot 04 : Was a Sunset Beach Shoot : Stopped on way as Keira saw rocks facing into Bay and brilliant light : Result Staggering Sunset Images

Weather : Sunny, Cloudless skies, no wind as day progressed no change beautiful day

And to finish the day a Mega Cooked Meal by Keira

Day 03 :

God where did the time go, flew by on these truly amazing few days, packed up and heading back to Narvick area

In grand Keira Style planned shoots on way in epic locations, going back with style and some crystal lingerie

Weather different again more overcast and moodier Norway delivering a different light backdrop for our adventure

Planned Shoot and Location 01 : Baby Waterfall

Not so much of a baby after the recent rain, now a flowing torrent, Keira as the Mountain Goat of the Falls, delivered pose after pose in a really difficult location

Planned Shoot and Location 02 : Memorial at Old Gun Battery Site

What an eerie and brilliant place, found an open ammunition storage chamber cut into the rocks, brilliant low light and reflection images in the chamber, then onto the memorial on the land spit, cold windy and enormous structure to pose with together with the curving limestone rocks set against the sea and mountains behind, so beautiful it made your eyes water or was it just the wind 😊

Planned Shoot and Location 03 : Bird at Harbour Wall : Totally outstanding location, the Bird Sculpture was smiling when we arrived and left traumatised in Keira wake

Unplanned Shoot Getting A bit off Beaten Track and spotted an unmissable area with the mountains in the background and black brooding rocks on either side, just had to be shoot

Planned Shoot and Location 05 : Big Mother Waterfall : This place is beyond amazing and the water flow was savage with the images blowing me away, Keira and location a perfect merging

Arrived at final Hotel prior to flying home with a huge smile and 5nr 64mb cards full of an unforgettable, whirlwind photographic extravaganza delivered by Keira and her boundless energy, enthusiasm, and creativeness

In conclusion, finally, if you have the chance to attend an Arts Voyage International Event take it with both hands and you will not regret it

Thank You Keira for a Photographic Holiday that will Never, never be forgotten
