This was a great shoot. The first thing that struck me about Leanne was her positive attitude. She is Miss Organisation and followed our brief to the letter.

Her poses are natural and she has a classic English rose look. She requires little or no direction.

One of the best models we have ever photographed and we look for ward to working with her again.

H-I-G-H-L-Y recommended.

I had a great afternoon and evening with Leanne at Basford Hurst Cottage.

She is very professional and also great fun. She made me feel comfortable in what is her home as well as a studio location. I got the guided tour, on arrival, and we were soon making pictures.

She took my ideas and really made them work. I know I have some excellent images.

A beautiful location and a gorgeous model. What more can you ask for?

Well, what a shoot, three hours just whizzed by. Leanne gave it 100% for every shot, getting into the themes and making suggestions with some great ideas.

Posing beautifully with different outfits.

Thoroughly recommended

Many Thanks Leanne

Another delightful shoot with this beautiful woman...

She is a professional with a great demeanour, coaching Mrs H ...

The shoot was an irreverent look at the church and she was fully immersed in the idea and played the part beautifully...

I can't wait for the next time I shoot this stunning woman...

This was my 3rd shoot with Leanne this one the first time at my studio. Pre shoot comms were excellent I provided Leanne with a couple of mood boards and she was totally agreeable to the styles.

She arrived on time with a section of clothing I had asked her to bring.

After a quick catch up it was straight down to business. Leanne is a superb model will pose without direction but also poses with direction.

Leanne came up with a couple of ideas to shoot in different areas of the building...these are brilliant phots even if I say so myself.

I would 100% recommend Leanne and look forward to shooting with her again soon which is already booked.

Thanks for being amazing Leanne.

I recently had a fantastic shoot with Leanne at her home - Basford Hurst Cottage. Unfortunately, the weather was absolutely atrocious so the natural light was severely affected all day. That said, Basford is a wonderful location with loads of stylish rooms with big large windows which meant we were able to squeeze as much natural light as we possibly could.

Leanne is a beautiful wonderful person. Her height, long legs, and perfect figure make her exceptional - especially for artistic nude sets and the images we created are wonderful.

Just as important, however, was the instant repartee that we established. From the moment I arrived I felt welcome, and we immediately found so much to talk about. In fact it took the best part of our first hour to get around to actually shooting any photographs. :-) However, we soon made up for this and covered a lot of ground in the remaining 3 hours.

I made Leanne a promise that I would be back to continue our shoot so that we could make the best of the untouched locations within the house and garden and I can only hope that the weather is kinder on my next visit.

I have no hesitation whatsoever in recommending Miss_C (and her studio home).

Thanks for a wonderful day. :-)

My first shoot with Miss C at Ian's Studio Stockport. For some time I have been an admirer of Leanne's work and today's 4hour shoot was the chance to see , at first hand, her excellent modelling skills.

Pre-shoot comms were exellent ,polite and prompt . We had several sets planned but, as so often happens,it was the unexpected that produced the more memorable images

Throughout the shoot Leanne was totally enthusiastic and committed to produce the best and innovative work. She was, simply a joy to work with. It was a privilege . I have no reservations in recommending Leanne to discerning photographers who are looking for a quality model who will go above and beyond to help to produce memorable images. Thank you for a superb shoot which I hope will not be the last.

My second visit to the wonderful Basford Hurst Cottage Photography Location, but this time for my first shoot with the owner and resident model, Miss C. Pre shoot communication was excellent and we agreed a framework around which to work in a free flow style. We were very fortunate with the weather and were therefore able to make use of the extensive grounds as well as the beautiful rooms inside the house. Miss C is an absolute delight to work with. She has a wonderful toned figure honed by the gym and a love of netball. Add to this, an outgoing personality, great conversation, the ability to move her body to create outstanding shapes and a natural creativity. All the ingredients for a memorable shoot which it certainly was. This venue is unique, but when booking never forget that the resident model is absolutely top drawer. We spent six hours shooting and the time just flew; always an indication of a great shoot. Extremely highly recommended and I look forward to organising more shoots with Miss C.

What an amazing Model

I booked Leanne after looking at her portfolio, her striking looks and an amazing physique I noticed straight away.

After a few communications between us dates times and a brief outline of the shoot was arranged.

On the day after first meeting Leanne I just knew we would get on, she's got a wicked sense of humour but also comes across professional …OMG she his stunningly beautiful.

It’s not until you start photographing that you realise just how passionate she is about making sure that our images are absolutely first class and her attention to detail is second to none.

Working together was a joy it’s nice to have constructive interaction about what we are creating and it’s great to have a model point out things that make an image go from ok to outstanding.

Would i recommend Leanne as a model to work with hmmmmmm No !

I would DEFINITELY!!! recommend her

One amazing incredible model that you need to photograph just WOW

Thank you so much for our shoot

Yay! I had met Leanne on a charity group event at Basford, she was such an amazing hostess and I could tell that she would be great to work with. I was delighted to arrange a dedicated shoot with her at Basford Hurst Cottage. Oh my goodness, I had very expectations for this shoot and they were exceeded! She is warm and friendly and easy going, full of energy and ideas and looks fantastic.

Such a good shoot, she was kind enough to go along with some daft Star Wars ideas to start with which was so much fun! Followed by making use of some of the natural light downstairs, where she really helped with choice of location and ideas and this was exactly the sort of thing I wanted to shoot. When we shot in the bath she was great at coming up with ideas and reviewing ideas, with some challenging poses! Followed by some boudoir and art nude posing.

What versatility! We got some fantastic looks in this shoot. Leanne was always patient when I was messing with lighting, and continually suggested ideas and improvements to help me get the most from the shoot. Such a fabulous model and a joy to be around, I loved this shoot and highly recommend her to all photographers.

Always a phenomenal experience to work with Leanne. She is super professional and amazing to work with ! We had a really busy event and she delivered brilliantly :)

It was a delight to meet and shoot Leanne, aka Miss C, at Basford Hurst Cottage recently.

Leanne is great company and a wonderful model to shoot. I had invited Leanne to be one of my pin-ups for my 2024 personal project, The Very Modern Pin-up, and she proved herself to be up for the challenge and entered into the spirit of the theme with full gusto. It was, allegedly, Leanne’s first pin-up shoot, but she proved a natural! We had plenty of fun shooting, chatting, and getting creative.

I am very happy to recommend Leanne to all and I hope we will get together for another assignment soon.

I contacted Leanne on Insta to discuss a shoot idea based around a paint splash. She enthusiastically embraced the concept from the get go and we quickly developed the framework of a shoot plan. All precomms were excellent.

On shoot day I met Leanne at the wonderful Basford Hurst Cottage where we quickly got into our stride with the shoot, working roughly to the framework but with some welcome improvisations from Leanne. We shot inside in a studio setup, and also outside utilising the rustic outbuildings. She was super professional throughout the shoot, but I must say we had a ton of fun along the way… we certainty captured some great shots on the day.

Leanne was a great host as well as being an excellent model and I can’t recommend her enough. I really look forward to shooting with Leanne again at some point.

12th April 2024: Shoot organised with Miss_C at Basford Hurst Photographic Studio. Pre-shoot coms went well and shoot started on time. Not the usual style of shoot for Miss_C, I think ! I have Gothic tastes and the first part of the shoot had Miss_C posing in the dining room with three Mannikin heads sitting on the table and mantlepiece. A couple of relatively normal sets with 1960s and 1970s style outfits in thr house and on the patio. Final set had Miss_C posing in the garden with a series of up to eight Mannekin heads spiked onto broom handles spread along the garden pathway, Miss_C posing as 'The Head Gardener' Miss_C took all this in her stride, to her credit ! Some quite unique shots taken on this shoot. Excellent shoot, highly recommended model !

Andrew Priestly

While we were organising this shoot, I sent Miss_C a list of a few ideas for sets we could shoot. I was just testing the waters really to see if our aesthetics lined up. When I got an enthusiastically positive response back (I've never seen so many exclamation marks in one paragraph!) I knew this was going to be a good shoot.

And I was right - Miss_C didn't disappoint at all. Between cups of tea and discussions on the nature of art we managed to take a few photos (slight understatement for effect here). She went with my ideas on how to make the shots work but contributed plenty of her own and the end results are a true collaboration. Miss_C doesn't need any direction in her posing but takes it will when suggestions are made. I say "posing" but it's a lot more than that, because so much of what Miss_C does is channel emotion into the shot.

I'm thrilled with the photos we took and plan to be back to take more. Unequivocably recommended.

Dave Gibson

Another beautiful shoot with Miss C at Basford Hurst, this shoot was organised in less than 48 hours due to a model’s sickness. I'm so in awe of having the chance to shoot with Miss C again. Miss C has an array of outfits with ideas in mind for various looks and they all worked, she is so easy to work with her creativity shines through, her posing is exceptional and she has so much natural beauty, charisma and style, it was an absolute pleasure to work with her again. Please if you have not worked with Miss C take the opportunity too, an incredible model and more importantly person to know, outstanding imagery as always so heed my advice and create something special with Miss C. I’m already looking forward to the next one.

I have been wanting to shoot Miss_C (Leanne) for some time now and today we finally got to work together at her home and studio, the amazing Basford Hurst Cottage Studio which is owned by Leanne and her partner. I cant believe Basford Hurst opened almost a year to the day, I have had so many amazing shoots there but today Leanne was my host and model.

Miss_C offered a unique opportunity to shoot her 6'2" stature in the magnificent drawing room and piano room of the studio. As well as an experienced model, she is a genuine easy going lovely lady who, if invited to help the photographer, can work with them creatively to achieve well composed and unique images.

I might be biased as this is my favorite studio but I have to say todays shoot was one of my best shoots to date in terms of working creatively in partnership with a model, and the subsequent high quality images I am very happy to come away with.

Needless to say this professional lady is highly recommended and I will be back for an outdoor shoot whenever it stops raining! Fantastic day, thank you Leanne.

I had the joy of shooting with Miss C at her home / studio just south of Leek. After a couple of attempts at responding to each others castings we finally got a date in the diary and had a wonderful half day shoot. We covered a range of sets and themes at breakneck speed and I can’t wait to get stuck into the images.

Miss C is an absolute dream to shoot with. From the very beginning before a conversation has taken place her bio just clarifys everything. Her terms and her rates are clear on her profile. She is a fabulous communicator who doesn’t leave you hanging around waiting for a response and her comms are clear and well thought out leaving no doubts about how the shoot will progress. Lots of parking at her studio means no drama or lugging kit and her home is thee most perfect studio with no end of shoot possibilities. We didn’t even cover half of my shoot plan but kept going off on tangents that kept presenting themselves. Its an artistic overload. She looks just like her profile with no surprises on the day and she has a vast wardrobe that covered all themes. Her hair, make up and clothes are all first class. Her skin is beautiful making shooting and editing a dream.

We planned for me to arrive a little early to explore the large house then bang on time she was ready to shoot then worked solidly for the whole half of day with no long breaks or disapearances. She is super enthusiastic and constantly contributed to ideas then moved heaven and earth to make them happen. She is hardy and hardworking with no qualms about gymnastic poses be they upside down or contorted, she took it all in her stride with a smile.

Miss C and I shot solo that day but I have absolutely no doubts that she would fit well into any group or project and strive to make it a success. She is very easy to be around which makes shooting so easy.

Thank you so much.

Best wishes.

Professional in her approach to the work throughout our session, Miss C was a joy to work with. Relaxed, down to earth, truly beautiful while totally natural and willing to work with me to achieve the results I was looking for. I would have absolutely zero hesitation recommending her.

I will certainly be working with her again soon.
