A Heated House

So often models get a bit chilly in order to get 'the shot'... but not on this shoot with Niall who had gained access to an amazing location that also head central heating! Music to any models ears! Most of my work at this time of the year is studio based so it was great to be able to do something a bit different without packing the thermal longjohns & wellies ;)

I think Niall captured some fab images using the natural light available. You can read his blog about it HERE or see more of his portfolio HERE. He's always great to work with and the shoot always flies by as a wonderful collaborative effort. Thanks Niall!


I'm over in Ireland regularly so if you'd like me to hop over to work with you let me know! I'm also coming over with Ivory Flame this year for some duo work. If you'd like to book me or the two of us let me know - madamebink@googlemail.com

Until then loves, let me know which shots you like best so I can get them on my portfolio :) xx

April Highlights and big news!

Little late with this blog, a dash of jetlag with a helping of toothache and I'm running a little behind on all my admin. Thank you for your patience! Spending todays sunny bank holiday inside, answering emails, planning my tours and sending out my newsletter! If you'd like to be added to my newsletter for offers and the first to know of my travel plans then just send me your email address to madamebink@googlemail.com

SO! April.... took me all over the shop as usual! From Milton Keynes and Hemel Hempstead to Singapore infact. I do like racking up dem miles ;) I've not had many photos back from this month so far, but I have some I love that I can share with you here ^_^

These are by Karen Jones, the same Karen Jones that was adamant only moments before that she didn't shoot boudoir and didn't do 'beds'... well... I think you've proved yourself wrong here Karen! I frickin' loves this! Really wonderful to see you back shooting and looking forward to France <3 br="">

And this is a selfie from Singapore... I was staying in the Ritz Carlton Millenia Hotel in Marina Bay offering amazing views! Unfortunately selfies were tricky owing to having only myself any my camera. No remote for taking the photos or light, so on timer it went and lots of running about and long exposure times ^_^ Here's just one for now, I'll try and get another done soon! This one was a 10 second exposure *phewie*

The big news is that I have set my move date. I'll be back top end in The Lake District as of the first week in July! Soooo people of the South... check out my dates and book me soon before my trips are yearly rather than monthly ;)

Are you within a 3/4 hour drive of me? Then get a special lil discount before I move and I'll even come to you! http://purpleport.com/castings/107289/locals-get-me-at-a-special-rate--limited-dates-/

January Highlights

January saw me on a brief jaunt to Wales and Gloucestershire and I've had some of the images back already to share with you... More to follow soon...

Some images from Miss Salleh Sparrow. More of her work here >>click me<< Sally and  make up artist James were both great to work with, and Sally and her partner Jack were even kind enough to put Major and I up for a night too. Hope to work with this wonderful team again soon! These images will be featured in the next edition of Face On Magazine. Can you spot my pooch Major? ;)

My first studio shoot of the year was with Roj Smith. You can see his work here >>click me<< Roj was easy to work with and I very much enjoyed my time with him. Hopefully next time we will be able to do a mix of studio and location work but the gale force winds stopped us this time! 

Do you have any favorites? I always find it very hard deciding what to add to my online portfolios - I want to post everything ^_^ If you have any thoughts then let me know in a comment below - it'd be appreciated! Now and on future blogs! :)
