ALL ABOUT ME

Hiya - welcome to my page! I'm friendly, 100% reliable and have worked with photographers with all levels of experience. I prefer shooting from my home, at least for first time. We also have fresh coffee and can recommend local accommodation if you travel far. Hotel & Studio shoots undertaken once we’ve worked together, if the journey here isn’t really practical for you.

TERMS

Please Note - Any shots my mother couldn't see would have to have me wearing a mask, cropped or hiding behind my hair. Happy to do portrait and fashion with my face showing but not for sharing on here please - I have a profile elsewhere for that. If we haven't met, I would like to have links to some references, if you don't have any here. I firmly believe in accreditation and will always leave them for you straight after any shoot.

LOCATION

Our house dates back to 1860, so don't expect modern clinical rooms, it's charming and atmospheric - we can use the bathroom, kitchen, living room and bedrooms, one of which is our office. There is the lush Ryedale landscape for possible outdoor shoots, a fairly private meadow through my garden gate and we know some lovely walks and very private locations within 2 miles.

RATES

Rates are for a min 2 hours, and can be any mixture of £35 per hour for nude/lingerie, £50 for O/L and toys. PM for me information about the possibility of higher levels. My husband is also willing to undertake some modelling, again anon, and happy to do some editing free of charge if you're new to that. He has a degree and industrial experience in all aspects of video, stills production and editing.

YOUR FIRST VISIT

I'm available every other weekend and some afternoons and evenings. With new photographers to me, we all meet up first for a cup of tea for a relaxing first encounter, then my husband leaves us completely alone in a different part of my house. He's cool and friendly and usually ends up talking cars, cameras and model trains. He has to be on the premises simply because we're worried about anyone coming by during a shoot.

NERVES?

I understand it can be daunting at first for some of those trying all this out, but I'm very easy to get on with, have an extensive wardrobe and have absolutely no expectations about any aspect of our shoot. Apparently I'm a terrible flirt so promise that you will love your experience here.

WHAT NOT TO DO

I prefer to have copies left of any pics taken so we can both decide who puts what on on our pages. It's not essential but one or two of you have let me down badly by not sending pictures they promised, have disappeared and/or aren't answering my messages. This makes me nervous.

FIND ME

I send my address etc a day or two before a first shoot for the same reason. There will be a map and detailed instructions too. Fresh coffee /Tea on arrival. Please don't ask for whatsapp etc as I only communicate via here, and email if you feel the need.

Peace and Love, Laura x
