How much do you love yourself.?

Specifically the way you look in the mirror?

Do you feel proud and have complete confidence?

Most women we meet don’t have confidence at all. In fact, one of our leading questions is “what do you love about yourself?” and while we may get plenty of personality traits “I’m kind, generous a good mum`” etc, we rarely get our clients loving physical attributes. “ I love my legs” “breasts” etc.

When I compliment Jayne and say how beautiful she is (Which is everyday) she almost laughs it off and changes the subject. Why do women do this?

Women find it very difficult accepting compliments. The negative stuff in their head is so much easier to believe.

Our Mission is to make you feel like a true Goddess

When you step into our space and in front of our camera, there is no negativity allowed.

Everything we do and say is about encouraging a positive attitude. No more dismissing the compliments you receive, no more being tough on yourself and we allow you to be the centre of attention for once without having to feel guilty about it. It’s a powerful thing, this positivity and soon, you’ll be swept up in it.

I first came across Malmaison Hotel when I arrived in Leeds from London, 20 years ago.

I was the presenter of the Mid Morning show on Real Radio, Yorkshire and I arrived on this particular Sunday with all my bags to meet ‘Rossy’ who was my ‘competitor’ on Aire FM at the time. He had offered to put me up until I settled into a new place in the City.

At the table was Chris Moyles, who I’d briefly worked with in Milton Keynes (His work ethic was incredible then. It was obvious he was going to go far. Such a talent)

The man sitting next to me was wearing a baseball cap and introduced himself as ‘Dom’. Dom and I chatted for an hour or so. The following weekend, I bumped into him in a bar and he called me over and treated me as an old friend.

It was only after our first meet that I learned he was Dominic Matteo, the Captain of Leeds United and it was at that point that I fell in love with this incredible City. (Indeed, this amazing County) … read more

All of our photoshoot experiences include professional hair and makeup and there’s a good reason for this…

We want you to look your best for your pictures and you’ll never look better than when you’ve had professional hair and make-up. It’s a great way to start the shoot experience in a relaxed way as well which will also lead to a better end result.

The end result is all about expressing your beauty in the best way possible. It’s not about turning you into a ‘supermode’l, it’s about showing you the most beautiful you, that YOU have ever seen. All packaged in products that help you to feel amazing for years to come, every-time you look at them.

The feeling of confidence will totally show in your pictures. If you feel good, pictures of you will reflect that inner power you’ll feel.

Flawless hair and make-up also cuts down the editing time after your photoshoot, again making your pictures all the better.

We certainly recommend our hair and makeup professionals rather than doing things yourself, because our girls know exactly the kind of tools, colours and products to use to get your look, ‘camera ready’. (Camera ready is very different to ‘going out on the town’ ready) 

Professional hair and make-up is even more important when it comes to our glam and boudoir sessions.

Sue came to us and immediately we knew that this was going to be an exciting shoot. With that amazing red hair and red dress, how could this not be exciting?

We always love photographing clients with a unique style and Sue was one of those clients.

Not only did we love her red dress but also her corset and black suit was a wow. Super stylish.
