Hi All,

If you are in the appropriate hemisphere, I hope you’ve just got back after a long and pleasant summer holiday, refreshed and ready to go to work.

We’ve actually just got back from a very intense few weeks of shooting, so I’m planning to have a few days off to recover. But I think you’ll agree our “summer holidays” were very productive when you see some of the things we got up to!

In the last few weeks we’ve had Hannah Claydon back for three days of shooting, worked with new (to us) models Katie Thornton, Samantha Bentley and Jenny Smith, run a tutorial for a lovely photographer from the USA who is just starting out making his own site, had a week away in Spain shooting with the gorgeous Natalia Forrest, had a couple of days shooting with just Ariel and me, and another with our kinky neighbour Zoe Page, then three days with the ever-cheery Penny Lee including shooting the outdoor scenes for new Elegance Studios video Pony Girl 3, again sponsored by the lovely custom video chap who helped us fund and shoot the first two parts, and ably assisted by our other kinky neighbour, Michael Stamp. It’s been a busy summer!

Here are just a few samples from some of those shoots to give you a taste of what’s coming your way on SilkSoles.com, RestrainedElegance.com and EleganceStudios.com this autumn!

Cheers, Hywel and Ariel
