After meeting Laura during a studio lighting workshop at Aura studios (which she owns) I asked her whether she'd be open to modelling for me. Since then we've had two wonderful creative sessions together (and I hope more for the future).

Laura's combined experience as a model and photographer gives her a unique perspective and it's been invaluable having someone who can direct from both sides of the lens. We've shot a mix of styles, from boudoir to bodyscapes and every time I've come away feeling like I've learned something new, and had a great time in the process.

Laura's one of these people who immediately make you feel comfortable and at ease, so I think she'd be a great model for relatively new photographers. I felt so comfortable working with her that we even switched roles and I did a bit of modelling :)

Until the next time...

Laura is an INSANELY talented photographer, designer, studio owner, you-name-it-she'll-boss-it!!

While I haven't (yet) had the pleasure of working with Laura as a model, I couldn't resist leaving her a 'character reference' as she stepped in last minute to assist with some remote shooting for the participants of my partner acrobatics / acroyoga workshop at AURAPhotographic that couldn't attend in person due to COVID measurements.

She took on board all of their direction and input, communicating effortlessly with what could have been a complete nightmare situation!

Her eye for composition and capturing the exact moment of partner acrobatic poses was phenomenal. So while this shoot was technically not with Laura's direct, personal input, I would LOVE to work with her one-to-one in future as a model, photographer, designer, basically anything that involves Laura and her creativity! I think in the space of one event i've become her number one fan and am so inspired by everything she does!

Laura is also very beautiful and even when she's assisting, it is very clear that her experience as a model shines through in everything she does - the direction she gives, the attention to detail and i'd love the opportunity to photograph her!

Thank you so so much for all your insanely hard work and commitment to making my event the best i've ever had the pleasure of running!

I have just had the inestimable pleasure of meeting Laura on what turned out to be her final maternity shoot.

Laura is such a cool and unflustered lady who produced a string of flawless poses and wicked smiles; one's heart could just melt in admiration.

The added marvellous surprise was that Laura actually owns AURA Studio. It turned out to be one of the largest studios I have worked in, with many permanent sets, and a staggering collection of clothing and shoes.

Both model and studio are highly recommended.

Laura helped me in at short notice for a specific shoot style adopted for a bump shoot. Laura as well as being fun and great to chat with was invaluable in her input. Got what we were trying to achieve quickly and her experience as both a model and photographer was invaluable.

Highly recommended and love to shoot with her again some time.

We only got like 10 mins to shoot together at the end of my studio day at Aura, but OMFG! THIS LADY’S TALENTS ARE ENDLESS!

 Just an absolute boss!

She knew exactly what she was looking for and we got to it right away, literally just a few shots and ….tada! I couldn’t believe it looking at the back of the camera and I quote what I said in a private message, which I still stand by! ‘Some of the best images taken of me throughout my whole career’

Just you wait until you see them!




HIGHLY recommend.



Many thanks,

Grabbed a couple of quick shots with Laura at the Studland Model-Led Weekender to make the most of Laura's baby bump.

Laura was awesome sauce as always as well as being huge fun to be around.

Thoroughly recommended.

Laura finished off a great day in Studland, all i can say is she is the most professional fall backwards into a bath lay back relax be a dead chicken bunny while i climbed all over the fixtures and fittings atrying not to fall in the bath model i have ever worked with.

Pre-coms were great, she was everything from elegant to out there, has a great taste in music and was willing to experiment while I played with some silly settings ideas that may just have worked..

Highly recommended.

I'd spotted an outfit I wanted to shoot at one of Aura's model clubs and Laura was an ideal model for it. She was amazingly helpful and knew all the tricks about her studio to ensure the shoot was a success and I got the images I wanted. Both Laura and the Studio are recommended - I'm sure I'll shoot her in the studio again soon.

Jezebelle

I finally got to shoot with this amazing model at her studio Aura recently on an epic shooting weekend!

Laura is a wonderfully refreshing individual who has all the most beautiful poses, so much lighting knowledge, the stunning features and professionalism to boot!

I can't recommend this incredible lady enough to all amateurs and professionals alike, in the photographer or model description, she is just ever so expressive and powerful in her modelling - so honoured to have been able to work with Laura :) x

I had a duo shoot with Laura & Jezebelle and had a great time!

Both were fantastic.

Laura can provide many styles and looks, and can come up with her own ideas.

Poses with ease and worked very well as one half of the duo.

Plus the fact that Laura has her own studio (very well set out, with everything you could want on hand) is fantastic.

I can highly recommend Laura as a true professional, and if possible, would have no hesitation in working with her in the future.

Thanks Laura!:-)

Was part of a group shoot at Aura Studio with Laura. She is a very good model knowing the poses and lighting so can help you get the shots that you want. She is hard working with a professional attitude to keep the session flowing well, good with all levels of photographers also but still easy to work with. Well recommended.

Well, having worked with Laura before I knew what to expect - a wonderful person and an incredible model - Laura did not disappoint!! I was so excited to shoot Duo with this beautiful lady as I think we compliment each other very well and she’s fabulous!!

Laura is super professional! Hard working on shoot and behind the scenes. She is full of enthusiasm and creativity and she has an amazing range of poses and expressions!

Laura was beautifully presented on the shoot with great make-up skills and well done hair! She gave 100% of energy through the whole day! Pose after pose! She is so so easy to work with - its great to feel so comfortable shooting duo nudes as some positions can be very intimate - but working with Laura is just great and easy!

This lady is also so much fun to be around!! She has a wonderful presence and is so great to bounce off! I am so proud of the poses and images we created together and I feel so lucky to have got to spend some time with Laura and her family!

Amazing Model - beautiful person in and out! BOOK HER !!

Tricky one this. I've put this off too long, but it's time to bite the bullet. Miserable sinner that I am, I've had 8 shoots with Laura since I last left her a reference (I've had 15 in all and another already booked) and I just don't have the words. Luckily, I've found a splendid online thesaurus.

So, Laura eh? She's admirable, breathtaking, elegant, exquisite, fine, glorious, gorgeous, great, magnificent, marvelous, outstanding, splendid, stunning, sublime, superior, superlative, elevated, exalted, grand, majestic, matchless, noble, optimal, optimum, peerless, prime, resplendent, splendiferous, splendorous, standout, state-of-the-art, super, unrivaled, the very best.

Just make sure you take cake.

Laura was one of three models on my Group Halloween Night Shoots in central Cambridge on 27th Oct and 31st Oct working with 6 photographers, using only street and window lighting (no flash or strobes).

I have worked with her many times and she brings quality to very shoot, with her exceptional outfits and high standard of posing, always searching for the best light. Despite the most awful rain and cold on the 27th, and her own head cold, Laura delivered great results without complaint, and with a good sense of humour and understanding.

Using just street and window lighting is highly demanding for both model and photographer, and Laura knew exactly what was required when posing or suggesting alternatives.

I have no hesitation in recommending her 100% to all levels of photographers. Thank you Laura for 2 exceptional shoots : )

I attended a lighting workshop at Aura Studio,run by Simon Carter, and Laura was the willing victim...erm model.

Superb event and Laura even managed to look glam in slippers with a cuppa on one hand and a biscuit in the other...that's class..then effortlessly changing her look to suit a Hollywood lighting set .

Thanks again and look forward to shooting with you again soon..

Laura was one of the models on a Halloween event I attended in Cambridge on a cold wet and generally horrible late October evening.

She arrived with some great styling with her hair and makeup and was a joy to work with despite the weather making it quite challenging for both model and photographer.

She did a great job pulling off some funky poses and working with the ambient light available. Friendly, enthusiastic, knowledgeable and worked with me to get some cool shots in less than ideal conditions. Highlight of the evening was trying to sneak some shots by the door to the Ivy and the unamused bouncer.

Well what to say about Laura?...i shot with her this time at Aura Studio's Alternative Latex Halloween club night ...and as always she rocked it!..poses so fluidly and dynamically...using all the space to good effect !.

Laura goes from consummate professional model to,in her words,a giant numpty in milliseconds flat...always a laugh always fantastic images....

Thank you Laura for all your efforts on the night...looking forward to our next shoot!.

Dave Lynes

I attended Aura Studio's Alternative Latex Halloween club night. The first time I met Laura, she was in normal everyday clothes, testing lighting setups and looking rather normal. This night however, makeup, hair and latex and what a transformation. COMPLETELY different look. Even when nearly falling off a spinning chair - she still manages to somehow nail poses. Fantastic, very knowledgeable, experience model and host. Came away with some great images. Thank you!

I worked with Laura at her fantastic studio in Newmarket. I shared a few ideas before the shoot and we worked together on the day trying a number of different styles. We experimented with different lighting making small adjustments to create different effects.

A warm welcome awaited me and there was plenty of tea to keep me going throughout the day. We chatted away throughout and I learnt lots which was what I wanted to achieve from the shoot.

Thanks to Rob and Laura for an enjoyable shoot.
