⭐ICELANDIC TOURS- come on tour with us to the mystical land of Fire and Ice!⭐

I have organised exclusive, luxury photographic trips to this beautiful country over the past 6 years! I now run these events alongside Roger More. 

Imagine a stay in an Icelandic villa, with accommodation, food, drinks, airport transfers and chauffeured travel, working with two highly skilled, professional photographic models in the stunning Icelandic landscape!

These are bespoke and tailored to the group, each location is unique! Groups are small and personal.

Please contact me for further information and to be added to the mailing list for 2021 dates!

When you have such an intensely beautiful backdrop set in the mystical Icelandic volcanic landscape it really is easy to achieve award winning photographs at the click of a button! I love the absolute raw, grounding force of nature that Iceland brings, along with an unpredictable scattering of Fire, Ice and Snow!

Every day is a new challenge- you can often experience four seasons in one day! As a result, each trip and photograph is extremely hard to replicate with the forever changing weather and landscape!

⭐Credit; A massive thank you to Chewymedia; a very talented videographer and drone extraordinaire who captured this amazing footage!

I am kind, passionate, creative and FUN! 

I greatly enjoy working with beginners and intermediates for their infectious enthusiasm and professionals for their stunning photographic results- its a lovely mixture and I wouldn't be without the other. Lets create memorable images to be proud of!    

I will work with anyone regardless of ability or disability.  

⭐My background in the arts⭐

Modelling, singing/songwriting, comedy and performing (modelling) are my passions in life! 

I am a chameleon of the modelling realm and greatly enjoy creating a theatrical set with Hair, Makeup and Wardrobe to suit. I can easily transform from a sultry Femme Fatale, to Fashion vixen, to Art Nude goddess and Old Hollywood siren.

I started singing/songwriting at 12 years of age, heavily influenced by artists such as; Kate Bush and David Bowie writing over 200 songs to date (Lyrics/Melodies).

I was later scouted (modelling) when I was 16, although I had been modelling since a child- my first shoot was for my great uncle who was a portrait photographer.  Artists and musicians run strongly through my bloodline. I also adore comedy, I am a true comedienne at heart! 

In my career I have been very fortunate to have modelled worldwide in my career and have a real thirst for culture and travel. I love to combine this passion for travel with modelling as much as I can! So far I have toured; Australia, Indonesia, The USA, Greenland, Iceland, The Netherlands, France, Belgium, Austria, Greece, Spain and Portugal. I greatly enjoy travelling and immersing myself in other cultures- I am a spiritual magpie.

I have modelled nude on an Iceberg at Jokulsarlon glaciers in Iceland, amongst freezing Waterfalls at Bruarfoss waterfall, at the Eqi glacier in Greenland, on Palm Beach in Australia, above the clouds in Madeira and amongst the Munduk Moding Plantation in Bali!

I believe that laughter is the secret to any success and it is what bonds us and makes life so much more enjoyable - and I aim to bring this to every single shoot. 

⭐Charitable works and passionate anti-bullying advocate⭐

 I have raised over £16,000  for various charities close to my heart through my charitable photography events and studio days!

I have been fortunate to have been a patron of: The Moggery, Cheltenham Animal Charity, Shelter from the Storm, St Peters Hospice (who cared for my late father) and Dorothy House Hospice. Receipts for charitable donations are always given after each event is completed and can be traced back to the charity for peace of mind. My focus is on supporting small charities who do not receive government funding. Every year I support a couple of new charities.

If you would like to support me in this journey and join forces together, please get in touch for future events. 

The small charity I am supporting this year is; Oanas Homeless Street Paws.

I am very happy to hear from other charitable fundraisers and organisers!

Terms for charitable events: My terms are simple- for all charitable causes/events that I waiver my fee and take part in, I will require a receipt to the charity within 30 days of the charitable event taking place (this has to be public and traceable). If this is not issued, an invoice with my daily fee will be given, with all funds going to the charity originally advertised (which I always share publicly). This is to prevent fraudulent charity days and events. 

Bullying and online safety: I also offer free, impartial and kind advice to those who have been bullied online, having often been the target of this during my career. I am always happy to give advice to models and photographers alike (I cannot comment on legal matters but I can give general advice). My most basic advice to anyone suffering, is to record, warn, report and block. If it occurs again or frequently, contact the police for advice.

Remember that "success is the best revenge", focus on your passions and dreams. 

⭐Publications, Commercial & Media⭐

I come from a very artistic background and LOVE to work with artists, of any experience.

Hair/Makeup: For each shoot I offer a bespoke package of Hair/Makeup, Wardrobe & Styling for every shoot at no extra cost. I have a full professional makeup kit and I am very experienced with applying makeup to a very good standard.

I take great pride in using professional, high quality studio makeup on photo shoots where a MUA is not present. If you would like me to book a MUA on your behalf I am more than happy to do so. 

My Look and lifestyle:  I'm a natural "old school" model and very happy and confident in my own skin. My body is as nature intended, a blank canvas. I do not have tattoos and I have never had cosmetic surgery. I don't have excessive piercings, I don't have implants and my hair, nails, lips and teeth are my own. I don't use fake tan or sun beds, I have fair, light reflective skin and pubic hair. I am a non smoker and I don't drink alcohol. I am the modern day Bettie Page!

Wardrobe/Styling: I have many bespoke, unique garments and costumes in my collection. I am happy to take special requests where possible.

I often have amazing designs loaned to me by these very talented designers; Kiku Boutique, Powdered and Waisted Corsetry, Valkyrie Corsets, Hebi Corsets and Dead Lotus Couture I also own a unique warrior cosplay piece by the amazing designer John Davis (Designer name: Wizard of Foaminess)

I especially love the 1920s-1950s eras and have many replica and original dresses and accessories in my own personal collection including; dresses, skull caps, wigs, jewellery, corsets, underbusts, pasties, stockings and various assortments of latex clothing.

I have a full bridal collection also for Bridal photography (A collection of wedding dresses from the 1950s to recent, veils, headpieces, tiaras, stockings and high heels!)

A selection of my Walk in Wardrobe and Clothing collection may be viewed here. This is inclusive in all bookings!

Touring bookings (Away from home);

I really enjoy hiring unique and bespoke venues during my travels for photographers who would love something different! I then use the venue as a base for both my accommodation and as a setting for photographic shoots during my stay (which often saves money). For tours I require fees in advance so that I am able to book and pay for the venue in advance of my tour (fully refunded if I was to cancel- very rare).

Studio days 

Studio days are charged at my hourly rate (£50ph) plus the studio hire of the commercial studio booked.

Accommodation/travel may need to be covered for certain shoots outside of my usual touring schedule, i.e if I am travelling to you specially.

Group shoots & Workshops hosted by other individuals/studios:  

My rates vary depending on the number of attendees and the advertised cost per person for each event. Please contact me with full information for a quote.

I am always happy to hear from Students, Artists and those with disabilities. 

 I try my very best to accommodate budgets where possible, so please do get in touch - I am very approachable. 

Commercial work, content sites and tours abroad;

Please contact me for details as rates vary depending on the geographical location, travel/accommodation rates and job opportunity. I am a seasoned traveller, no job is too far away! For tours abroad I am often chaperoned (not present on the shoot) for my safety and comfort. 

⭐Terms of booking⭐

Upon booking you agree to my Terms;

Payment: I am registered self employed and I am happy to give receipts. I prefer for payments to reach me by Bank transfer or Paypal where possible. I do not like to handle cash.

-Home Shoots/local shoots: Payment a week prior to a home shoot (7 days) is appreciated. This will be fully refunded if I were to cancel (very rare).

-Workshops/Events & Studio Days; 100% of the fee to be paid two weeks prior to the event, in order for the studio/venue & catering/accommodation to be booked and paid in advance. This will be fully refunded if I were to cancel (very rare).

-Use of Images; Any bookings with myself are not to be used on content sites (unless previously agreed in writing). My freelance modelling work is solely for photographers and creatives portfolio building and for social media use (Facebook, Instagram, Twitter etc). For commercial rates and use of the images from the shoot elsewhere, please contact me as you will need a model release/signature and full consent of the model in order to sell these images.

-Model releases: To avoid disappointment please discuss and share a model release with me before the shoot as it is a legal document. I won't sign a model release (or any legal document) that I am not expecting. My shoots here are freelance and as such I offer freelance rates (not commercial rates). However I am always happy to be open and negotiable depending on the opportunity and exposure. I am very approachable.

-Photographic Trips & Expeditions abroad;  An initial deposit is needed to secure your place on the trip. 100% of the trip must be paid for 1 month (or 30 days) prior to departure (unless agreed otherwise) so that the Accommodation, Car hire and other services needed can be settled in full for the group. 

-Deposits for trips abroad are non refundable as the accommodation, car hire and model fees and other services are paid for in advance for the team. With notice I can contact those on the waiting list, who may be able to take the space but this is not guaranteed.

I am a very kind and understanding person and I am more than happy to reschedule (if possible) for compassionate reasons. I'm always happy to help.

I do not undertake any pornographic work of any nature and never have in my career. If you have a brand or product you would like me to represent, you can be assured of this and I am happy to sign a release to declare this. Any photographic or video images/likeness (paintings, drawings, sketches) or nude images of myself are not to be manipulated or used on adult websites. Any accidental explicit photographs on a photo shoot (or video) must be deleted or legal action will be taken.

For my freelance bookings I model Fashion to tasteful Art Nude. I am happy to undertake fetish modelling (latex) depending on the context (if unsure please share a mood board of ideas). Erotica is exclusive to my own photography, unless it is a rare test for my portfolio or with a highly experienced photographer in this genre. I have selected "glamour" in my preferences (Please note that this is for Old Hollywood, classic style glamour).

I will not wear or model animal furs.  Faux Fur (Fake fur) is welcome. Plus, have you seen what I have grown myself?! :) >>>>This is the only fur I wear! :) (I do have a wicked sense of humour! :) )

Regular breaks on shoots are vital for comfort and a really productive shoot- I work hard but I am not a machine! (Although some would disagree! :) ) 

If you would like Yoga poses for the shoot, I will need to warm up my muscles beforehand (It usually take around 15 minutes to do a series of stretches.) A warm studio is really appreciated for all shoots so that muscles are warm and there is less risk of strains or injuries if modelling Yoga and energetic poses.

If the shoot is in water it will need to be at a safe temperature with safety equipment, heating and towels to hand. 

Location shoots booked on tour (away from home) will need to have a suitable Plan B in case of bad weather. If the weather is too cold/unworkable I can not shoot in it for my safety.
I am happy for shoots closer to home can be rescheduled at short notice if the shoot is weather dependant.

Bookings during the pandemic

I am undertaking limited bookings in December onwards.

Comfortable face-masks in the studio are greatly appreciated (but not expected) I have reusable cotton face masks available at home (These are not medical grade, you are welcome to bring your own). I have 80% alcohol hand gel available in our home and studio in various rooms.

Shoes/outerwear must be removed upon arrival. Alternatively, shoe protectors are available. 

If you need to reschedule the shoot- no matter how short notice, it is never a problem. Health should always come first.

I reserve the right to reschedule a shoot if you display any symptoms on the day of the shoot (and likewise!) if either are unwell.

I will never cancel, I'll always reschedule! Life must go on, lets have fun and make the most of it!

I pride myself on being extremely reliable and if a shoot is *confirmed* here, you can be assured I will be there.

Please use the email and diary booking system on Purpleport to book and confirm a shoot.

Leading up to the shoot; I always email the evening before the shoot and I will text or email you on the day of the shoot when I am leaving for peace of mind and to keep you updated of my journey. Please make sure you have shared your mobile with me.

I aim to leave references within 8 weeks after the shoot. I will always leave you a reference as a final thank you for a great shoot!

I undertake all of my admin myself on various platforms which can take time. If I have missed you, please get in touch with a gentle reminder.
