10th August 2023: Shoot arranged at very short notice following cancellation of another booking at Basford Hurst Cottage Studio, of which Miss_C is owner. Pre-shoot communications fast and concise. Miss_C as studio owner was very knowledgeable about the best places to shoot around the extensive location. Myself as photographer had a car load of outfits and props, not chosen for this location in particular but still loaded in the vehicle from two previous shoots, one vintage, one Steampunk. Excellent shoot, Miss_C appeared to like the outfits I brought, which were a little outside her comfort zone, adding an element of novelty and spice to her day, methinks ! I have shot at Basford before, and had a mental list of places to shoot around the property this time, trying to achieve 'the full set', but ran out of time ! No hesitation in giving a Very Highly Recommended rating, and no doubt in my mind that I will be back to try and complete 'the full set' when my personal calendar empties a little !

I'd already seen so many amazing images on here that Leanne had produced with other photographers, so I was excited to have the opportunity to work with her myself. Pre shoot communications were excellent. I'd prepared a detailed shoot plan which Leanne had taken the time to read, and on the day she had clearly bought into it. Leanne is an expressive creative and I was delighted to see her own ideas and interpretation of the sets. Her energy and enthusiasm just flowed throughout the morning, and I finished set after set with, 'we've nailed that one!' Leanne also looks after the photographer and has a lot of areas covered for you, with her eye for detail, that many models would leave to the photographer.

This was our first shoot together, yet very soon we were working towards delivering the plan like well established colleagues. Leanne collaborates well and I left the shoot impressed by Leanne's professionalism knowing that we'd produced some lovely images that I'm thrilled with. I'm hoping that its not too long before we get to shoot again.

I must also mention what a lovely person Leanne is. The conversation just flowed and the time soon disappeared. She was so easy to get along with. This is important, as photography is my hobby and I need it to be fun.

Leanne, a big thank-you for the effort that you put into yesterday. I have no hesitation whatsoever in recommending you to other photographers and studios.

An excellent first shoot with Leanne. She was spot on with pre-shoot communication. We were able to exchange ideas and establish comfort and shooting levels before we got near a studio. This ensured that there were no surprises on the day and that everyone was happy with the shoot content. I look to capture elegance with an edge in my images. Leanne and I talked this through, and her angle on this was incredible. Truly a budding actress! Leanne went out of her way to create beautiful images. I'm really happy with the outcomes.

Happy to recommend.

Organised Chaos

First do the happy dance 😀.

I had my first & by no means anywhere near last shoot with Leanne on Sunday at her knockout most excellent , exhilarating studio the super inspiring Basford Hurst Cottage Studios & boy oh boy was I impressed.

I like to book inspiration models who constantly because of how they are inspired so many ideas that when I leave I have nowhere near run out of ideas & Leanne is a model who most definitely fulfils that as after months of banter on Insta & sending over the day before my shoot idea "Lady Gardner Pt 2" I have a general outline of what I was looking for & the next day when I turned up to the studio I was so estatic as Leanne has such a warm & welcoming personality as does her fiance Simon , Leanne is the perfect host offering tea or coffee & is very much invested in the shoot as I asked for Leanne to lead the shoot as I had a general idea of what I wanted but I knew from her work I would not get tacky images which if left to me in error of I had not taken to booking such a classy professsional model I could have Tottenham I would have possibly messed the shoot up but safe with Leanne as I left it all in her hands to choose spots in Basfords extensive grounds to shoot,what to wear,poses literally everything as I wanted classy & Leanne gave me much better than I could have imagined.

Leanne is tall at over 6ft,I would say athletic toned build,very beautiful on the outside with a very beautiful character which makes a joy for me as I am a chatty but also I like to make a good rapport with the models I book & Leanne is all those things.

I asked Leanne to look at the images in sets as we went along & Leanne obliged which I think is always good as on some said that maybe another pose or redo that image which is exceptional as I know I am grateful for this as I walk away with images that are the best to my limit of photography will allow me to take.

I will be booking Leanne many times over at Basford Hurst Cottage as she inspired me in being creative.

Thankyou Leanne see you soon,

Alec 😀😀

Shooting with Leanne was a wonderful experience from start to finish. :)

Communications were excellent, with plenty of rapid, productive exchanges.

She was briefly visiting Bournemouth, where I live, so we grabbed the opportunity to do a shoot in the New Forest.

With sunlit streams and fallen trees all around the shooting possibilities were endless and she did not disappoint, with highly creative and enthusiastic inputs, alongside my own ideas. Even, later in the evening, when conditions were less pleasant, she was still working hard, aiming to nail every shot.

And she did, shooting a host of great images I'm very pleased with. :)

She poses beautifully and is great fun to work with. A perfect combination for me! :)

Would I work with her again? You bet I would! I also hope to get to her new venture at Basford Hurst Cottage one day soon.

Leanne is a joy and a pleasure to shoot. Totally recommended. Thank you! :)

This shoot was a dream come true. Having moved soooo far away from me I never thought I would ever again experience the pleaseure of a shoot with Miss_C. So I just couldn't let her visit to my area go by without fitting in a shoot.

Her look, her height, her figure in fact, her everything is a togs dream and is as good if not better than at anytime I've had the pleasure of knowing and working with her. Her ability to look at a location and help with suggestions as to what and how to shoot is a real added bonus especially to photographers with limited experience. In fact I cannot recommend her more to the lesser experienced photographer. She will immediately put you at ease and help with ideas and suggestions.

I had the pleasure of being one of the first photographers to shoot with Miss_C several years ago and she has proved my initial thought - WOW this girl has it all.

Thanks again Miss_C, hope to meet up again soon. x ......

Leanne is someone I'd been interested in shooting for a while going back to when she lived a bit closer to me so finally managing to arrange a shoot at her amazing location was awesome.

What can I say, well, Leanne is an absolute star from comms through to bouncing ideas around and being focused on creating an artistic vision with the photographer. I had an absolute blast shooting with Leanne. Having met her on a previous trip and then being there in the morning shooting with another model, we'd already established a bit of a rapport so we had a good natter and laugh as we were shooting.

Great physique, poses freely as well as working with direction, very creative and worked with me on creating a story or ideas (some of which need to be done on round 2 as we ran out of time) plus such a character to be around.

I really enjoyed our shoot and the results, we had so many ideas to fit with the styles I was working on that one shoot could never be enough to fit them in.

I had a two hour session with leanne which just flew by . Pre comes were clear and quick and she travelled to Liverpool for the job

A delightful and dedicated model, who made my job easier. She spent two hours having cold slime poured on her with no problem

An amazing model to work with and would 1000% recommend her

Thank you

Had the most amazing shoot with Leanne today, I had a car I wanted to use in pictures and we knew it was going to be raining so went with the car and umbrellas etc for some great rainy shots in the peak district, we had a fun time exploring and finding locations all the time with easy conversation about modelling, photography and everything else.

It was easy to set the shoot up with great communications and upbeat positivity it was a great little break which I really needed and ive got pictures and memories of the day Im very pleased with. I even got a look around Basford Hurst Cottage which is a super location to shoot from, I hope to visit soon and enjoy another visit and happy photography times. Thanks Leanne

Leanne and I had very quickly got in touch when her Studio was about to open....so we didn't waste time in pencilling in a date for a shoot and the 3 month wait was well worth it.

I arrived slightly early but Leanne was already all systems go....we had a quick cuppa and then got down to the business of shooting,after she had given me a quick tour.

At first,you really don't know where to start.....Basfurd Hurst Cottage is amazing....and blessed with fabulous natural light.

Anyway,start we did,and the next 6 hours were just glorious.....Leanne is a most accomplished model,easily flowing from pose to pose....so an easy life for me and she was happy to take direction as and when needed.That said,we just got on like a house on fire from the word go.....all helped by the excellent comms between up beforehand.

Thoroughly enjoyed my time at the studio and in Leanne's warm and welcoming company...no end of fabulous images from a number of different sets.The weather was a little unkind to us but we did manage to dodge the raindrops and get a little set outside.

I 100% recommend Leanne to all photographers....a beautiful lady who knows exactly what she's doing and goes the extra mile to get the shot.....and she looks fabulous.

Thank you Leanne for a most memorable day.....I very much look forward to working with you again.

My first shoot, both with Leanne, and at her fabulous Basford Hurst Cottage studio.

Precomms were good and Leanne provided all of the necessary information to enable me to find her studio and give some background information.

Leanne is a very friendly person. Upon my arrival I was quickly provided with a mug of tea and a quick tour. Leanne quickly changed into her agreed outfit and we got into shooting some lingerie in the cottage's kitchen. Everything went well, although as ever I could have carried in well beyond our alloted time. Suffice to say, Leanne is very easy to shoot with and talk to. She is a very lovely person who also is funny and very, very good at what she does. She is incredibly beautiful with a well toned figure, which she very obviously takes great care of.

I will hopefully shoot with Leanne again soon. Both she and her location are very highly recommended.

It was my first shooting with Leanne and I have to say that she is amazing!!! Not just because her extraordinary physique… But also her professionalism, personality + positive energy made this one of my best tall vs petite comparison shoots of all time ! Can’t wait to release the content and offer her more comparison shoots!!!

I have been wanting to work with the wonderful Leanne for well over 4 years now. I was incredibly flattered when she added me to her WtWW list in October 2019 and of course I reciprocated..... but it was not to be, as she stopped modelling :(

But she then was back as the proprietress of Basford Hurst studio and resident model, and I was overjoyed to find she still wanted to work with me :) We had a quick chat and booked up a day and started to pray to the weather gods. After all this time... it was going to have to be my best locations!

Leanne, Simon her fiance and I, met up the night before and I checked the weather and we arranged the start time and meeting place. On the walk up to the first location (2½ miles) Leanne showed her love of the landscape and both her and Simon took turns carrying my tripod! We then shot at 4 places on the way back down.

Leanne has an amazing physique and follows directions really well. Her make up skills are excellent and her hair is beautiful. She is brave in the natural environment and clearly relished posing on rocks and in the water. She is both amazonian and elegant, and when she is in the flow, she fully resembles a Norse Goddess.

I had a thoroughly wonderful time shooting with her the only negative being that the sun was late to break though. I cannot wait to shoot with her again, she is truely amazing!

I had a great shoot yesterday with Leanne at her studio, Basford Hurst Cottage. She is the consummate professional, so everything went well from the pre-shoot communications, to the welcome, to her preparedness, to her modelling skills.

The studio including the grounds and outbuildings is fabulous and extensive, so we only explored a small part of what is on offer. I shall have to go back!

We covered a variety of styles including working on some images for my camera club competitions where Leanne’s contributions were valuable. She was anxious to ensure that I got the images I wanted. The best shoots are invariably ones where model and photographer collaborate and over a few hours we bounced ideas off one another.

Above all, Leanne is a lovely person and a joy with whom to work.

I had organised a duo shoot at Basford Hurst Cottage with Keira Lavelle & Nicole Rayner and seeing as the owner Miss_C (Leanne) Is an accomplished model her self I decide to book her for an hour to make it a trio.

Im so glad I did an hour probably wasn't longer enough to work with Miss_C but we got some great image in that hour and she worked well as part of the trio.

Hopefully next time I will do a proper 4hr shoot with Miss_C at Basford but definitely highly recommend by me.

Miss_C AkA (Leanne) Arrived bang on time to the dot.

The shoot was booked with short notice, it was a case of I'm free Friday so am I, so let's do it. It was so off the cuff there wasn't time to plan anything, it was bring a few things and we'll see what we get. We were so successful I'll contemplate booking my next shoot the same way 👍

Leanne is a smashing youg lady, easy to get along with and worked really well to get the right images. We'd booked a full day so everything was calm and relaxed giving time to sort out lighting as we went.

We had a relaxed stress free shoot and everything just flowed smoothly.

I recommend Leanne 100%

I may have to come to your place next time.

Well I have to say that I planned this shoot a little while ago with leanne and as with most shoots I looked forward to working with her on a half day session to get a range of images from my planning sheets.

The day arrived and I drove over to the studio, to be met with a great cup of tea to start a wonderful shoot with her, she is a wonderful model and a great person, going out of her way to ensure that my day was filled with lots of photo opportunities and come up with some creative and inventive images.

We talked for hours and the shoot concluded not believing that we had been shooting for four hours duration, the time simply flew by and we completed all that I wanted and a few more sets as well.

I have to say she is a stunning model to work with, great fun and with a personality to match, very professional in her approach to the sets and this is borne out by the results we created on the shoot.

She is recommended by me as a superb model and if you get the chance to work with her, please book her as I am sure you will get superb images as I have. My only problem now is sorting through the 600 or so images we took and yes we were taking our time on this.

Thanks for being outstanding, superb, wonderful and lots of fun. Recommended A++++

So, there I was with a studio and no model and Leanne said, "Would she do?"

Within five minutes I knew she could do anything I thought of before I could say anything.

I spent a fabulous afternoon, inside and out and got so many different moods and ideas.

The only down side is that just like all the models I shoot, she laughs at me all the time.

Very disheartening for a serious Artist!!!!!!!

Leanne is a superb model and is totally committed to getting the very best shot possible. I cannot recommend her enough. And with the bonus of Basford Hurst Cottage Studio, you have to be mad not to be there all day and everyday.

Thank you so much Leanne for saving my day. I opened a bottle of Pink Bubbly to keep the high going when I got home.
