I have been fortunate to work with Laura on a number of occasions and jumped at the chance to be a part of this workshop that she had organised at her new studio. The organisation was brilliant and Laura took on the part of the androgynous male in a Jack Vettriano workshop. Laura was amazing at the role and she and Chloe worked amazingly well together with a real understanding of the poses that they wanted to create. Laura is creative and freely poses but is open to ideas. She makes shoots fun yet her primary concern is that the quality of the photographs of the highest standard. I would highly recommend any photographer to both attend her workshops or work with her as a model. Laura is an absolute delightful person and I hope I have the opportunity to work with her again soon. Thank you Laura for a great workshop, I have had some super images from the day.

Laura hosted a Body Paint day at her Aura Studio with sugar&spice modelling, plus fantastic artistry by international award winning Wolf of WolfsBodyMagic.

Both models looked absolutely amazing with their different but striking body paint designs, making stunning contrast when shot singly and even more so as a duo.

I have worked with them both on quite a number of occasions now, so we have an instinctive rapport whilst posing and shooting, plus they are very body confident and pose effortlessly and creatively.

Even though this was a Group shoot with 4 photographers, I came away with a card full of fantastic images.

Laura is such a lovely person, wonderful model and a delight with whom to work. It goes without saying that I recommend her 100% to all levels of photographers, and if she hosts another Body Paint day, don't miss it!

I had the pleasure of shooting recently at Thurston Lodge on a group shoot alongside Laura.

She was bold, confident and friendly. She made me feel welcome throughout.

Laura was an absolutely gorgeous model, versatile with genres with a phenomenal wardrobe!

I would wholeheartedly recommend anyone of working with her and it was my pleasure being part of the group with her.

Laura is the bee's knees!

she applied for casting for the 4 model/4 photographer event at Thurston Lodge and was immediately snapped up :)

I've worked with Laura loads of times ... we've run workshops together, we've shot together, had coffee and cake together and a damn good chin wag together ... but this was our first group shoot together and it went (as I would expect) absolutely swimmingly with this gorgeous and talented lady :)

I'm chuffed to bits with the pics we got and have no hesitation at all in recommending her!

thanks Laura being your usual lovely self :)

hopefully you'll put up with me again sometime! ;) haha

Laura painted Miss Diamond Sparkle for me today and made her look exceptionally sexy. Her skills at shaping a body with paint is out of this world. I would recommend Laura to anyone.

I wanted to leave laura a reference because she is a multi talented versatile woman that will always deserve my recognition

As a model i have looked up to and been inspired by since the beginning of my career. As a crazy good bodypainter and artist. And now on top a fantastic studio owner and organiser.

This lady organised a sellout group shoot for me at Aura Studio the studio she helped remodel build and decorate herself! The lady is a friend and someone i am proud to know in the industry.

I will be looking forward to working with her, alongside her on and off camera and i will always give the highest recommendation for all her work and endeavours.

She truly is a credit to this industry and you would be a fool not to have booked her to model, to paint or to shoot at Aura.

Always a recommendation.

Had a second shoot with Laura at her studio, what a difference shooting in a professional studio with people who really empathise with your ideas and are as keen as you are to achieve the end product. I'd like to wish Laura every success with her studio venture, as like her modelling she throws everything into it and deserves to be supported. My only regret is I'll be leaving the area and unable to use it for much longer.

Once again Laura, many thanks for everything to both you and Rob and every success for the future.

Please support these guys, you won't regret working with them.

100% recommended to everyone.

Laura and I have worked together on studio shoots in the past but the Lake group shoot organised by Laura where she modeled along with Tillie Feather exceeded my expectations, allowing me to take some of the dream images on my bucket list.

I have no doubt that most of this was down to Laura's knowledge of the location and her professionalism as a model and event organiser.

With Laura's beauty and modelling skills who could ask for anything more.

I look forward to working with Laura a lot more.

Highly recommended.

I have previously shot with Laura on an Urbex shoot, but recently had the pleasure of joining Laura on her very well organised Lake shoot with another model Tillie Model.

Laura is the consummate professional, poses with ease, has very piercing eyes and is very beautiful. Great fun to work with and puts you at ease with her skills and knowledge of her trade.

I managed to obtain some super images so thank you Laura for a great shoot.

Highly Recommended!!

This was my third shoot with Laura this time accompanied by Chloe aka Sugar&Spice. We shot at Manor and Meadows. Pre-shoot communication was, as ever, excellent and Laura and Chloe both arrived with a choice of outfits to suit the location. Both pose without the need for direction and we shot both inside and out. Our time together passed quickly but I am happy with what we produced together. As ever we had fun too. Highly recommended to photographers of all levels.

This is not a direct reference , but I shared a shoot location with Laura and Sugarandspice today, although we had different photographers to work with, she was very generous with advice and hints about better ways to do things, I just thought I'd add a few words of thanks for making me feel at ease and I'm hoping I can organise a shoot(s) at her newly acquired studio , Aura, in Newmarket , for those photographers who want to work with me in a local studio. I know I'll be made very welcome there

I had the privilege of Another shoot with Laura yesterday, Laura is my go to girl, she can within her levels adapt to anything, will try anything and will give 100% to every single shot, Laura will always want to see back of camera and will advice if she thinks the shot is not quite right.

Thank you for yet another wonderful shoot..

So I ventured north to the lair of Laura this week and we shot some duo work with the awesome Boris! As always Laura looked amazing and had found some cool locations as well as an outstanding outfit that really suited the idea we had planned. 10/10

Then two days later Laura travelled to me with her boot full of latex and heels and we shot some really cool images at a great location as well as Laura helping out with a few other shoots on the day as well.

Laura always looks amazing, has a big space in her head full of cool ideas and also knows how to achieve the results that you are both looking for from a shoot. Super cool model that your portfolio needs!

Laura was the body painter for a shoot I did with Ali Brooks at the weekend. Hours of patient work to fulfil her idea for the style before coming with us to assist me on the shoot itself. Completely and utterly professional throughout and a pleasure to work with, although she did demand tea and Mr Kipling lemon slices midway through the process.

Can't park for toffee though...

Thoroughly recommended: we are already planning another body paint shoot.

I had my first body painting experience last weekend and I couldn't of picked a better person to do it. Laura is so lovely and talented and so considerate of her model knowing how long it takes and making sure I am ok through out. xx Her ideas are amazing and I am so happy with the end results. I can't wait to work with Laura again on our next body paint idea. I 100% recommend working with Laura Thank you for a fantastic day and look forward to next time xx

Oh my word Laura is good!!!

I kinda already knew she was. We'd met in passing a couple of times and I've admired her work for ages. But to finally work with her properly was awesome :)

Laura manages the perfect balance between professional and easy-going, between free-flowing and technical detail.

She has a keen eye for detail of composition, pose and light, was endlessly patient with my obsessive technical noodling and - in the final analysis - made some blinkin' good pictures.

I could witter on about her fabulous makeup skills, styling and fondess for cake but I won't.

Very Recommended :)

This lady is bloody awesome!

Had a really good home shoot with Laura, I did various experiment with art nude lighting. Laura brought some beautiful lingerie with her which added to the images.

I would defiantly recommend Laura
