Rates & References
I work at a flat rate rather than staggered since I only work up to the levels at which I'm comfortable.
When you book me, you guarantee yourself a model who is:
~ Punctual & reliable ~ ~ Has excellent communication & organisation skills ~ ~ Will thoroughly & professionally research all details of themed shoots ~ ~ Will treat each and every person at your shoot with respect and kindness ~ ~ Will arrive with hair, teeth, nails and skin in top condition ~ ~ Will provide a portable changing room for outdoor shoots ~ ~ Will professionally edit all chosen RAW or JPEG images if required ~
and a whole lot more besides!
I'm always happy to shoot... with mice, toads, rats, lizards, snakes, worms and any other forms of wildlife except spiders.
I don't mind getting hot, cold, wet or dirty during a shoot but I do expect to be kept safe at all times.
Please don't ask me to shoot...
nude, glamour, fetish or bondage, lingerie, swimwear or implied nude or to work with... fur, real cigarettes (I'm allergic!) dead animals or offal.
Lingerie shots appear on the website only to give you an idea of my proportions.
I can do my own make up to a very high standard and my own hair if you require something elegant and simple but since my hair is one of my best features, it really does pay to invest in a hairdresser if at all possible.

Helen is a fantastic professional. Turned up promptly to the shoot, maintained great attitude throughout whilst being creative, composed, and charming! We had a lot of fun and got some great shots within quick succession, no warming up required. I can thoroughly recommend working with this model. D.M. Photographer
It was a real pleasure working with Helen. She showed excellent communication skills from the start and was always the professional. Helen also brought with her a friendliness and warmth that was relaxing and confidence building. She was hardworking, not only during but after the shoot, by way of promoting work, and is a consumate actress able to take on any role. This makes her infinitely flexible. A beautiful, talented and extremely likeable model. Highly recommended. S.H. Photographer
Helen is an intelligent enthusiastic model with a genuine understanding of the requirements of professional modelling. I have no hesitation in recommending her to anyone in need of her services. P.B. Photographer
I had the opportunity to work with Helen on a photo shoot at Kingston Upon Thames in July 2009. The shoot was set up just beside the River Thames near Kingston Bridge and involved the use of available light photography, strobe lighting and portable flash heads.
Helen is a very attractive model with beautiful clear skin and bright eyes and smile and, of course, amazing hair. She has effortless confidence in front of the camera and her positive approach and intelligence shines through with great results.
I found Helen to be warm, approachable and very professional, arriving punctually and well prepared for the modelling session. Having discussed the requirements of the shoot and what to wear with me beforehand, Helen provided changes of clothing to suit the theme of the shoot and a very useful (cubicle) facility to change on site.
It was a pleasure to work with Helen as she has a friendly, easy going manner and was very accommodating of my requests. It made a significant impact on getting the results I wanted, by being able to direct a model who is able to understand and interpret directions as Helen does.
It is obvious Helen enjoys her work with the enthusiasm and professionalism she brings to the photo shoot. I look forward to working with Helen again and would gladly refer her to colleagues for modelling work. K.S. Photographer
