Second time working with Jade over three years apart. Great shoot. Weather didn’t affect it even though it spat rain at a few parts. Very friendly and came with a good choice of outfits. Really glad to of worked with her again and would def reccomend.

I had a fantastic shoot with Jade today, and I can thoroughly recommend her if you want to work with a truely professional model. The shoot details were organised in a breeze thanks to her lightning quick responses. On the day, Jade came right on time despite having to drive almost an hour to get to the location. On top of that, she brought even more dresses that I asked her to bring along. As a true professional, she was ready to shoot with her make up and hair prepared as discussed in our emails.

I found working with Jade easy as she truly excels in front of the camera and can pose with very little instructions. All I did was shoot away, as she understood what I was intent on achieving. Thank you Jade for making a gloomy day into a brilliant shoot!

I booked Jade for a return to Parkwood Camera Club, this time to act as a demonstration model for professional photographer Jon Gray, delivering a lighting masterclass to the club members.

Jade was the perfect candidate for this, reacting well to Jon's directions, and also maintaining good humour throughout in the face of Jon's corny jokes and compliments.

Jade proved once again why she is so highly regarded in all her references.

My second shoot with Jade and just like the first was awesome! The weather decided on the day to play funny games with us - she let me know in loads of time that the conditions had changed yet she was still keen to shoot and had adjusted her outfits to accommodate the darker gloomy weather, based on that we decided to continue as planned!

So glad we did, the results are amazing, Jade even right at the end got into a lake to add that extra element. She is a committed model, takes direction well, has a good eye and ideas and a great sense of humor!

Already looking forward to the next!

I booked Jade to model for me at a Canon workshop in London. What a well prepared, fun and excellent model to work with.

Styling and make-up skills were great, and she creates great looking poses as soon as a camera is pointed in her direction. She brought along a great selection of outfits and props that she used to transform her look quickly so that one photographer remarked that they had "seen the other model earlier, and would she be back later". I had to point out that the two looks were the same model, Jade is that good.

Even working with a large group of photographers she was able to ensure everyone got great looking photos.

I absolutely look forward to working with Jade again.

It Was a pleasure to shoot with Jade yesterday.

She was very easy to talk to before the shoot, We shot at her house that was tidy and lots of places to shoot, also lots of light so I didn't have to get my flash out.

Jade herself was stunning and very easy to talk to. Happy to shoot whatever I suggested but also had suggestions herself.

she has a lot of confidence infront of the camera and posses with easy.

Cant wait to shoot her again.

Recommend her to all.

Oh n she makes lovely tea

I'm so pleased Jade got in touch, to let me know she was in my area, so I had a really wonderful shoot with her today, at a stunning location in the city of Bath.

I have wanted to shoot at a very grand and beautiful location in Bath, for a while now, so I was really pleased when Jade got in touch, as I thought, she would really compliment, the beautiful location :)

Having never met Jade before, I was really impressed, how professional she is. As I don't have a lot of confidence with photography, Jade was more than happy to recommend what would make a great composition, and the best place to stand for lighting, very helpful :)

Jade is a very beautiful, and warm friendly person, who is very easy to get along with, a real pleasure to work with. So thank you Jade, and your very highly recommended by me!!! :)

I had a fantastic shoot with Jade back in April and, as many will testify, as predicted Jade was absolutely brilliant.

So easy-going, so professional, so happy to shoot lots in the 2 hrs we had around a sunny Bath.

Jade knows exactly how to get the shot/ look etc.

I ended up with a load of great shots, and the start of a new section of my folio I think.

Cheers Jade, we'll have to shoot again soon.

Will.

I had the pleasure to shoot with Jade on a workshop run by herself and Raj.

We worked through 3 different room sets in 4 hours which worked well with 3 photographers but still allowed each of us to get all the shots we wanted and still have a chat along the way.

Having taken me a year to get to work with Jade (my fault not hers) I will not be waiting so long to shoot with her again.

I can highly recommend work with Jade.

I was lucky enough to be given the opportunity to work with Jade today, and she was awesome. A real bubbly personality, with a photographer's eye for detail.

Jade's main shoot was with Orpentog, but John very kindly allowed me to grab my camera and spend some time with her. Jade is a total pro and needed no direction from me, and so you're always guaranteed to get quality shots - I was very happy with mine, and I know John was too.

Totally recommended, and look forward to working with her again in the future.

J9 Studios

Jade graced our studios today for the first time, and was the muse for local photographer Orpentog, and his collection of vintage fineries.

Jade is an absolute joy to be around, and the shoot from start 'til finish was a lot of fun. I think there were a good handful of sets, and they all went smoothly with Jade nailing everything. John, seemed extremely happy with the images he was getting, and they worked really well together. Jade has a superb repertoire of poses, which flowed effortlessly... but on those occasions when John had something specific in mind, she always seemed only to happy to oblige.

Jade's portfolio speaks for itself, and from the few hours we were with her, the other 226 positive references are totally justified! We hope she finds herself this way again soon!

After I commented favourably on one of her pics Jade said she was going to be over my way visiting friends whilst her partner had a work appointment nearby. J9 studio in Tewkesbury was perfectly placed and the presence of co-owner Kristina made me (and I hope Jade) feel a bit more comfortable doing some underwear shots – not the mainstay of her modelling - with someone for the first time. Based on good pre-shoot comms we were also aiming for some full-dress shots sort of bridging our portfolios.

After arriving with time to spare Jade came up trumps with every set we did. Not just on posing, with great ideas which built on mine, but also when I was faffing with unfamiliar (well that’s my feeble excuse) lights & triggers Jade came to the rescue. In case you didn’t know, she is a trained, qualified and experienced practising photographer.

Make-up and hair were superb; outfit changes quick; great conversation; friendly; professional; intelligent; versatile… need I go on?!? I am so so pleased with the results. Jade hardly needs a reference from me: but it’s top marks all-round.

I invited Jade to join Imageobjectif and myself for a tutorial shoot and it was brilliant. Jade was perfect for the role. She's bright, funny, and really helpful offering insight from also being a photographer herself. Happily and heartily recommended.

Imageobjectif

One of my favourite models to work with for so many reasons: Jade is fun, intelligent and has a great style. She modelled for my workshop today and her positivity and friendly communication really makes the session flow naturally. Highly recommended, Mandy

Well what a first shoot with Jade, we had one case of falling down the stairs, multiple cases of laughter (mostly to do with my 80s music), and some excellent images.

Great model, very easy to shoot with and can go from fits of laughter and then drop into a pose with seamless ease.

Totally recommend Jade and will hopefully get the chance to work with her again.

Thanks Jade, until the next one.

It was an absolute pleasure having Jade as a model.

The shoot was planned with enough notice, and the contact we maintained throughout this period was a good way for me to talk about the specificity of what I wanted to create, wardrobe, styling, location, etc.

I had a certain set of expressions' category that I wanted Jade to fit into for these particular photos and, without needing to actually say the words, Jade interpreted the output superbly. ...funny how she used the same words I had written down on my notes.

There were instances (most of the time) where I let Jade do what she knows best (posing and expressions) and there were only a minor few where I wanted Jade to do a certain pose or look, this was simply a preference not anything to do with her ability to transpose emotions, which she elegantly accommodated.

If you want to work with a reliable, professional, friendly, versatile, committed, hard working, punctual and enthusiastic model, then Jade is all that and more.

A big plus to me, and this is important when choosing your model for the type of work you want, and output, is that with Jade you don't have to worry about skin imperfections, etc. this to me is perfect as it means no photoshop, which in turn produces a more realistic look. Apart from her looks, expression abilities and fit into your requirement, is being natural not also what you look for in a model?

(Thanks Raj for helping)

I had the great fortune of shooting with Jade the other evening.

She was all I expected her to be - beautiful, talented, and so very, very patient.

I would recommend Jade wholeheartedly, and am already looking forward to our next shoot - when, perhaps, we might find more foliage to interact with :)

I arrived at Jade’s home for an afternoon’s themed photo-shoot… when she opened the door, it was a wow! from me… she looked amazing in the period outfit, with immaculate hair and make-up and ready to start the shoot.

The house is well setup with a variety of settings/backdrops and has excellent natural light.

As Jade is a professional photographer and model, she can work both sides of the camera. I felt slightly guilty only booking her as a model, as I wanted to make use of her professional photography skills as well.

She was very generous in imparting her professional photography skills and knowledge when asked. This helped develop my skills and knowledge of using the manual camera settings in utilising the available and variable natural light.

She was very patient with me using this opportunity as a training shoot to develop my technical skill and knowledge.

Thank you Jade, for a lovely productive shoot for both my learning and producing a number of very pleasing photos.

Jade is a very lovely person and delightful model, very easy to work with and professional.

I look forward to working with her again and attending the Off-Camera Flash & Photoshop Workshop with Jade and RajK on 15 April.

Jade came for a studio shoot with members of my camera club. There were nine of us so we worked her hard but she was magnificent. She bought the right clothes and modelled them superbly. She is a great model and seemed to enjoy working with our group. We certainly enjoyed working with her and we all recommend her without hesitation.
