Hello All... I'm finally back from Maternity Leave! 

 

I've been doing a select few shoots over the past year, but now I feel ready and raring to undertake more! 

I now have a lovely toddler, so whilst I can be relatively flexible with bookings, I do need advance notice (about two weeks) in order to arrange childcare. And of course, if you wanted (if you're brave enough, that is) I may consider a duo shoot with said Toddler. 

 

About Me:

I'm agency signed and I have way over ten years experience in this industry. I'm friendly, fun but also industrious. I adore photography as an art form and I will strive to do my very best for each picture you take so you can attain the results you desire!

I'm confident working with photographers of all levels of experience ~so please don't be shy if you're a newbie! I'm also a hobbyist photographer myself, so I'm happy to help with lighting set ups or camera issues if asked~ I am competent creating my own poses but also able to take direction.

 

Location and Travel:

I’m based in Portsmouth and I'm happy to travel to you.

Unfortunately I'm currently not shooting at my home right now (we're drowning in toddler toys) but I'm lucky enough to live near the fabulous Fareham Studio and additionally, I'm mad enough to shoot on location.

I rarely tour these days, but I'm still willing to travel lots. I will consider travelling up to 3 hours from Cosham railway station for the right shoot. It’s not unusual for me to consider a trip to Gillingham, London, Bristol etc. for the right shoot.

I will even consider the odd jaunt up north or abroad (I have a coach card, a railcard and a valid passport) if you think you have a lovely shoot to tempt me with! I’m often booked for shoots lasting multiple days, so this is something else I’d possibly consider, whether in the UK or abroad.

So I'm still very much travelling for shoots, I'm just not doing my colossal three-week tours anymore!

 

Styles and Levels:

I pride myself on a versatility and I’m very competent performing through a whole myriad of styles and genres, such as:

~ Classical Nude ~ Portraiture ~ Glamour ~ Androgyny ~ Fetish ~ Fashion ~ Commercial ~ Weird Arty Stuff ~ Bohemian ~ Pin Up ~ Erotica ~ Historical ~

I’m likely to have attended over a thousand shoots over the many years I’ve been modelling, so it’s very possible I’ve had experience of sorts in the genre you’re after.

I work to full frontal nude (but not open leg). I will consider BDSM (including bondage and spanking) with experienced people who are respectful and entirely professional in their manner at all times.

I'm even crazy/passionate enough (delete as appropriate) to get up a 4am and get naked for a sunrise shoot in the freezing cold, but beautiful, Scottish highlands.

I also act, so I embrace video work with much enthusiasm too!

 

Appearance:

I'm still in the process of updating my portfolio since returning from maternity leave - however I look pretty much the same as before except I now have a very small and discreet c-section scar which kind of blends in with my pubic region, I'm very proud of it so I'm happy for it to remain in photos, however I also don't mind if you wish to remove it in post processing. I’m fresh-faced and I look much younger than my actual age. I’m slim, but with curves and I wear an average dress size 6. My hair changes periodically - It’s currently shoulder length, dark natural blonde - but every now and then I’m liable to go a silly colour or shave bits off. I’m very happy to supply details of my current look/planned look upon booking requests. Additionally, I have a good selection of wigs (both high quality and natural - to the downright tacky and wacky).

I wear a nose ring which can easily be removed without marks and I have no tattoos.

 

                                              My Current Look...

My Rates:

£60 per hour (min 2 hours)

£220 Half Day (up to four hours)

£450 Full Day (up to eight hours)

Discounts will be considered for shoots lasting multiple days!

This is my no messing about rate! This rate covers all the many genres I perform to my renowned high standard and enthusiasm, including most of my fetish stuff*! I do require transport costs if travelling very far - but I have a rail card, a coach card and an eye for a rail bargain, so I travel cheap!

*Please note: I may charge more for certain fetishes, such as spanking - simply because of the marks it leaves means that I am unable to shoot for a few days after. 

Please note that due to medical issues, I am unable to drive. I can generally get to most locations, but if the location you have in mind is very far from the nearest public transport, I may need to bum a lift off you!

 

It would be lovely to hear from you!

Fetish and Glamour Shoot Notes: I love shooting fetish, it's a genre that I'm mostly booked for nowadays. I have such things as latex, PVC (Including a full PVC catsuit!), dress up outfits (maid, nurse, college girl, orange jumpsuit, office wear...), also various bondage items like rope, gags, metal cuffs and leather-look cuffs.

Bondage safety notes; I will only work with you if you have experience in this field (If you don't, then I must insist that we either used cuffs of my choosing - I have metal and leather-look cuffs - and'or that you follow my strict instructions on cinching the rope correctly). Bondage can be incredibly dangerous if not done correctly. You must always be mindful towards my comfort and safety (so an organised way of working and safety scissors to hand is a must).

Since this is genre covers such a wide range of subjects, I may not be comfortable with your proposals/experience, so please don't be offended if I decline. Please note: If you feel that you will not be able to behave in a completely professional manner, then do not contact me.

Thank you!
