I have admired Lucia's portfolio from afar and wondered if I would ever get the opportunity to shoot with her. Well, thankfully the opportunity arrived when Siaran at Inspire Studios booked Lucia in for a two day shoot.

I booked three hours which were incredibly productive and arguably should have booked for longer.

Lucia is as beautiful face to face, as she is in her images. Not only that, she has a really lovely personality, fun, easy to talk to, self-deprecating - always a trait that I love - works incredibly hard to get the right look, is professional and a joy to spend time with.

Lucia was assisted by her equally lovely mother, Kim.

I found Kim to be super helpful, she basically styled all the clothing to go with the sets I wanted to use in the studio. I might add, that she got it spot on every time!

In my humble opinion, Lucia is right up there at the top of her tree. Along with her personality, she has the looks and perfect form for lingerie and I guess all forms of clothing. I totally get that fashion and lingerie companies want to have Lucia showing off their wares.

Needless to say, I was blown away by the shoot and still buzzing several days later.

Of course I want to shoot with her again and she gets my highest of recommendations to any photographers out there.

Thank you Lucia and Kim for all your hard work, I had a great time, came away with so many wonderful images and look forward to spending time in the editing suite...

I had my first shoot with Lucia at Inspire Studios. Wow, Lucia is such an incredible talent. She has such a lovely personality and bundles of positive energy. She works incredibly hard and has a great eye for detail. We worked on lots of fun fashion sets. I enjoyed bouncing ideas around with Lucia and seeing where our creativity would take us.

It was lovely to have Kim on the shoot too. She did such a fantastic job of helping Lucia get changed, and help with styling. She also has a fantastic eye for detail.

I can't wait for another opportunity to work with Lucia and Kim.

Highly recommended.

I have been impressed with the images I have seen of Lucia on here, and when I heard she was coming to my favourite studio, seized the first slot for a shoot with her. I was not disappointed. With the aid of Lucia's mother who is bag carrier, dresser and general aid, we got through lots of outfits and scenarios in two hours. Lucia was high energy and great fun, so the time went quickly but there was a lot to show for it at the end. Now to edit some great pictures. Lucia came armed with cases loads of outfits and we barely scratched the surface. She is a great model and works so well in front of the camera. I really hope to get another shoot with her next year. Highly recommended.

I only booked Lucia at last minute. And glad I did I don't know why I hadn't booked with Lucia in the firs place. From the minute I walked into the studio a welcome smile and Lucia was full of some ideas as I hadn't had much time to think about the shoot. And through out shoot chatted along the way.

I cannot believe how many great shoots I have just need the time to work through. I won't even hesitate next time Lucia is in my area.

100% recommend

I had the pleasure of having my first shoot with Lucia earlier this week. Her pre comms were great, she arrived a little before time and with so many changes and outfits that far exceeded what I had requested. Some of the outfits and ideas were just superb and could have easily occupied the entire day and wish I had done.

Lucia is a wonderful model who has endless energy and ideas. She poses well and can take direction. She is highly professional and yet so relaxed, she makes the shoot fun and is not only a superb model but great company. She changes outfits and re touches her make up quickly maximising your time with her.

She was assisted by Kim who prep'd her outfits even steaming them to ensure they looked good in shot. She did a superb job. Thank you Kim.

I'll most definitely be booking Lucia again in future if she'll accept my booking, a beautiful and thoroughly professional model who is just wonderful to work with.

Thanks Lucia for a wonderful first shoot.

100% very highly recommended

Lucia was one of the models on the Summers Abroad Western event, but she also had to have futuristic make up added to her look and she not only work with it all day to get into character but was both professional in presenting great poses, with or without propers from the event, but also have a laugh during the event. I look forward to hopefully working with her again in the future. Highly recommended.

Stunning! Amazing! Brilliant! Lucia 🙌

Honestly I'm just finding myself short of words to describe how wonderful Lucia is and many would agree with that 🥰🥰🥰 She is very gorgeous, extremely professional and at the same time very kind and humble at heart.

I had the great honour to have a photoshoot with Lucia. This was my first shoot with her and I'm extremely happy on the outcomes we both achieved together. The date was planned a couple of months ago. I had shared some initial moodboards a few weeks before the shoot and she was well prepared with the different types of outfits she had brought for the photoshoot.

It was a long way for her to travel to London and a weekday and she arrived well before time. She is extremely quick in her makeup and got into different outfits very quickly. During the photoshoot her energy levels were at the top level. She is extremely good at emotions, expressions and poses and are very well reflected through her mesmerising eyes. She is in full flow and needs no direction at all. She is a master of her craft and one of the best models I have worked with. 🥰🥰🥰🙌🙌🙌 You should be able to gauge that from the images I have posted of her on purpleport portfolio.

Overall it was a great and memorable photoshoot. I was extremely happy at what we both achieved. I absolutely recommend Lucia to all the photographers and studios. I'm definitely looking forward to have many more photoshoots with Lucia in the near future and beyond.

Thank you so so much Lucia 🥰🥰🥰

Wow! What can I say about working with Lucia that hasn't already been said?

I had a four hour shoot with today at Saracen House Studio and the time just flew by. She is just brilliant to work with! An total professional.

Very pleased with the images we made today and hope to work with Lucia in the future.

Thanks for an excellent shoot Lucia!

Had a terrific shoot with Lucia who pulled off great expressions for the lifestyle and portrait photos we took. She is fun to shoot and has a great sense of humour which made the two hours go by quickly and with ease. Will definitely be booking her again as she is one of the best models I have worked with. Lucia comes highly recommended.

Manage to grab the last two hours of Lucia’s two day studio visit to Saracen House and so glad I did. Despite it being the end of a long two days, Lucia’s energy was brilliant and she did quick changes and great adaptations to her makeup too.

Lucia and her mum are super lovely people and came with loads of additional ideas to add to my base ideas and moodboard…Ridiculous amounts of wardrobe, which complemented my ridiculous amounts of jewellery…Lucia is just fab at her job, knows exactly how to pose and is keen to get it right. Two hours flew by and as first shoots with someone go, this was a cracker.

Can’t wait to get onto editing these as the BOC views look awesome…thanks Lucia! I’ll have to be quicker off the mark next time she’s in town and get myself a longer shoot.

Worked with Lucia today, can not praise her high enough! Her mum Kim supports her and shes so friendly too. Lucia is so easy to work with, knows exactly how to pose, a true professional and a true joy to work with. She had so many outfits to choose from and we shot so many different lots, 110000% recommended!

Greetings, I’m GREWY, a photographer from Essex. I had the opportunity to work with Lucia at Saracens House Studio recently.

We did a range of shots, from fashion to gels and portraits. Lucia was a delight to work with. She showed up early, brought a fabulous wardrobe, and translated the moodboard exceptionally well. She also contributed some brilliant ideas of her own and was willing to experiment with different looks.

Lucia is a gorgeous model with a stunning face and body. She knows how to pose and express herself in front of the lens. She has a charming personality and a positive vibe. She was friendly, professional, and fun throughout the session.

I am very pleased with the outcome of our shoot. We created some amazing images that showcase Lucia’s talent and beauty. She is a star to work with and I highly recommend her to anyone looking for a versatile and dependable model.

Thank you, Lucia, for a fantastic session. I look forward to working with you again soon.

I shot with Lucia for a second time on a week long photography trip to the Alicante region of Spain with 3 other models and 7 photographers arranged by @GGPhotadventures.

Lucia is a natural beauty and was a big reason that I booked onto the trip as getting to shoot swimwear on beautiful beaches was a total no brainer. We shot fashion around Calpe old town, swimwear on a sunrise beach shoot and dynamic rocky shores.

Getting to shoot with Lucia in beautiful locations was an amazing experience plus being able to spend a little time around her and the others during the day and evening whether it was eating out at restaurants or chilling around the villa.

She was really friendly and easy to get on with plus showed her professionalism especially one evening when we were shooting and the temperature dropped quickly whilst we still had one round to do. We blasted through that shoot quickly as she just delivered exactly what I was looking for which enabled us to finish the shoot.

I totally enjoyed the time I got to spend with Lucia, whether it was shooting, eating out, relaxing around the villa or wandering around the town exploring shops. She's a really lovely person and stunning subject to shoot, I look forward to being able to shoot with her again.

My first of hopefully many shoots with stunning Lucia. She was an absolute delight to work with. Friendly and engaging, dedicated and creative.

We shot fashion and swimwear solo on location and as part of group shoot.

Lucia is very adaptable to each location and strived to create some memorable photos. She takes direction well and is eager to learn as she goes. I’m very happy with the shots we got and i think she is too. Lucia had joined us as part of week long overseas trip in Spain organised by GGphotoadvetures.

If you get the chance to shoot with lovely Lucia make sure you do it. Definitely recommend. Xx

Lucia was one of 4 models I got to shoot with all week on a trip organised by @GGphotoadventures to Alicante, Spain. Lucia has an incredible body; she’s tall, lithe and shapely, with bright blue eyes. Lucia excelled in fashions around the Old Town and also in beach wear shoots. It was however the beauty images of her I shot on a sunset shoot on the beach that inspired me most. Lucia is also extremely flexible and able to create some fabulous shapes which accentuate her long legs, tiny waist and curves. Lucia is inundated with commercial assignments and it’s clear to see why. I am extremely pleased she joined this trip and hope that we can shoot many times in the future in some beautiful locations.

😘😍😊

Lucia is for sure in my list of top models ever, and I'm so happy she joined me, 3 other models and a group of photographers in Spain on my recent week long trip. She excitedly accepted the spot when I offered her it.

In the build up to the trip Lucia was going through a bad time with family illness, but still found the time to respond to messages and engage in conversation with others booked. This enabled building a rapport before the trip and being able to pack clothing to suit venues and ideas.

In Spain she was engaging, and chatty to everyone. I think everyone enjoyed getting to know her, she gave plenty of laughs with her quick comments without thinking, which I would say is Lu to a t. It was nice seeing her real personality in a totally new experience.

She is so easy to get along with, and really bubbly and energetic.

When shooting she was super as expected, although I did find she found some parts hard and doubted herself at times throughout the week. She always came to me with these feelings, and all I can say is I have no idea why she felt this way. All the photographers had a great time working with her, and all came away with breathtaking images.

Lucia will always be in my favourite models, and I'm over the moon she was a part of this trip. I loved having her on it, and know she was positively viewed by all.

Shooting or generally around the trip, was a lovely experience. Thanks Lu, it's time we get something new planned and have a catch-up.

Thoroughly recommend, I actually said to her she needs to shoot more with freelancers other than just for brands. I'm delighted for her she's doing this and is really busy and excelling with every shoot. Just please leave some dates for me

Thanks Luby

This was my first time working with Lucia as part of a week long photography trip in Calpe, Spain run by GGphotoadventures and hopefully not the last.

If you look up model in the dicatory you will see Lucia, the description was written for her, with her golden hair, long toned phsic and stunning features you cant take a wrong image of her.

We worked across various different locations and styles and Lucia exelled in all, easily adapting to each and bringing an endless joyful energy to the shoot that was infectious and captivating.

Lucia was engaged in all the shoots, taking time to discuss outfits and to understand your vision to make sure you got the images you wanted.

I am delighted with what we created together and cant wait to share, highly recommend Lucia, not only will you get keep after keep image, you will be working with a wonderful, enthusiastic and very friendly young lady that will leave you smiling and loving life, thank you Lucia I hope you enjoyed the trip as much as I did!!

Managed to get a couple of hours time on Lucia's model day @ Saracen house after following her work for a while. She's a really friendly, natural person and enjoyable to shoot with.

Shooting across a variety of styles from beauty portraits, a more silhouette type portrait look, gelled fashion and some funky fashion with a colourful background.

I only had 2 hours so getting through 4 different looks and very different lighting styles was good to be able to do although I could have happily carried on if time allowed.

A natural beauty with a great look and really lovely to work with, certainly on my list to shoot again with.

Lucia came to my home studio for a 3 hour headdress/beauty shoot and she absolutely smashed it. She arrived on time with her Mum acting as a chaperone/stylist and they were both very lovely people and easy to get on with. Lucia applied her own creative and colourful makeup for multiple looks to go with different style headdresses and the pictures we created are absolutely stunning! Lucia is a very experienced and professional model at such a young age, with a large repertoire of flow poses ready to use. She definitely has got the "model look" and it really shows in the pictures. Would 100% like to book her again and highly recommended to all photographers :)
