In July last year, I had a photo shoot with a lovely lady called Billie.

I had only been photographing models since May 6th and, even though we had a really great shoot, I don’t think I did her beauty justice. She was my 10th model, it was my 16th shoot, and I was still finding my feet with lights, poses, the camera and was still in that beginning stage of sheer stress that I still wasn’t sure I knew what I was doing.

Well, 10 months later, I was lucky enough to do another shoot with her. This was my 88th shoot and I have learned so much between our first shoot and this one.

We spent several hours together, talking, shooting, relaxing. She wore some great outfits, tight slinky jeans, a beautiful strapless denim dress and an absolutely stunning gold corset. She’s let her hair go back to its natural beautiful deep red, has incredible pouty lips that would make Angelina Jolie jealous and with the corset wrapped round her gorgeous curvy figure and some gentle lighting and a dark background, I think we may have created an amazing photograph, in fact a whole amazing set.

So would you believe that this lovely lady had a baby 8 weeks ago? Say hello to the beautiful Sara, a new model. This was her first shoot.

She was a little nervous to start with, but settled into modelling well and managed to get some gorgeous poses when she was just getting comfortable. A total natural, a total beauty and a great personality so great fun too.

I’m looking forward to our next shoot – she’s already working on some ideas for styles and outfits, and even dragging a friend along to get some shots done.

Well, hurry back Sara, you’re always welcome
