I worked with GEM for the first time at a Tabitha Boydell event in Thirsk. She needed no direction but was fast to adapt to the photographers ideas and requests. Her posing is superb and has poise and grace.

She was chatty and fun throughout the shoot and I'd recommend working with her.

I had the pleasure of working with Gem for the first time on a 1-2-1 at the Shapeshifter studio in Warrington whilst she was visiting the area. Pre shoot comms were perfect (organised, prompt, and informative). Gem arrived early giving us time to chill with a brew and plan out the session. She came very well prepared with a super selection of outfits that fitted her style and my requests.

Gem is genuinely such a lovely chilled and easy going person with so much talent, creativeness, and passion about her craft. It was such a chilled and relaxed shoot as if we had worked together many times before. Throughout the shoot Gem was full of positive ‘can do’ energy putting 110% effort into every shot, Gem not only poses effortlessly but she has an amazing eye for the fine details ensuring she brings any concept to life with an amazing Wow factor.

If you are lucky enough to work with this fantastic young lady, then you’re in for an amazing shoot. Totally recommended.

Thanks for your hard work, patience and for the assistance with prep etc. A great creative afternoon and Im looking forward to working with you again when your back up north again :)

At the weekend, I worked with Gem at Neon Dreams Studio. Judging by her impressive portfolio, I was expecting plenty of elegance and poise but she gave much more. Full of enthusiasm with an effortless talent for posing beautifully, she is also lovely to talk to and really good company.

Every recommendation.

I had a lovely shoot with Gem today at Neon Dreams Studio. It was only 2 hours, but we achieved a lot and captured many lovely images.

As always, Gem is a pleasure to work with - lovely personality, very professional, full of ideas.

I've worked with Gem a number of times in the past, and all of the shoots have been great.

Highly recommended.

Had another fantastic shoot with superb Gem.

Bringing a wide range of outfits allowing the coverage of several themes, Gem is a joy to work with, friendly & chatty & creating a range of graceful & elegant poses in a thoroughly professional manner. I look forward to the next time & I highly recommend Gem.

This was my second shoot with Gem, this time at her studio day at Neon Dreams Studio. Gem came with a wide range of outfits which worked well with her timeless looks and amazing hair. We were looking to create a range of creative portraits in keeping with one of the studio’s set up’s, followed by some high energy red and silver shots. Gem has the perfect look for timeless portraits which have the appearance of paintings by the great masters. Gem is able to bring the right pose and expression to the pictures and is also able to take feedback from the back of camera. Her great experience enabled us to get into the “groove” quickly and soon we producing some great creative pictures. Working with Gem was a delight and the time just flew by. I can recommend Gem most highly and look forward to future shoots with her.

Thank you for a great shoot – R.

This was my first shoot with Gem, and it was at the Neon Dreams studio. Gem had masses of clothing and we jointly agreed clothing and what to do on the sets. She is very easy to get on with and it was a very enjoyable shoot. I can thoroughly recommend her and hope to work with her again one day. Thanks Gem for a fun couple of hours, and I am very happy with the images I took.

Last week, I had a lovely remote session with Gem, working on a couple of my projects. We'd discussed the themes, and she was fully prepared with wardrobe and setup to effectively capture appropriate images.

She's got great control over, and has a large range of expression, and poses were spot-on.

Definitely recommended.

Art Asylum Reloaded Photo Studio

This was gem's first visit to the studio and I'm sure she will be back again.

She worked with 3 photographers on the day and made sure they all got great images and worked to achieve their ideas for them.

She was easy to get along with and posed brilliantly and all the photographers went away from the day extremely happy.

Totally recommended

I booked a two hour slot on Gem's Studio day at Art Asylum In Weymouth, Dorset. Gem was already at the studio, and ready to go as soon as I was. She brought with her a selection of outfits that suited My BoHo idea utilising one the sets at the studio.

Gem is lovely and a dream to work with, she was very patient while I was getting using the changing natural light conditions in the studio.

We were talking about her varied career as a model and film extra.

We also shot some experiment Art nude in the studio using the infinity curve a studio flash. Indeed a very versatile model. Highly Recommended.

Can't wait to shoot again some time.

Just had a great shoot with Gem at her studio day at Art Asylum Reloaded in Weymouth.

Gem is a fantastic model who is very experienced, very professional and a genuine delight to work with. She has a great range of quality outfits, including exactly the styles I was looking for. She is also very creative providing plenty of ideas for the shoot, including advice on lighting.

Definitely very highly recommended and I certainly hope to work with her again soon.

I had my third shoot with Gem yesterday. As always she was highly professional. Her posing met and improved upon my aims for the shoot and I now have many great images to work with. Very highly recommended.

When Gem visited a nearby studio, I have taken the opportunity to do a shoot with her.

The theme during the first part of our shoot was (nude) fashion, where we were able to create some nice looking images.

It was during the second half of the shoot, when we did a range of images in a low-key setting, that Gem surprised me with her vigor and enthusiasm. She was on a roll, which great to witness.

Yes, I would recommend Gem.

First shoot with Gem today and I love the results.

We had a loose idea of what we wanted to do and Gem put together the perfect styling and makeup to create some beautiful images.

Already thinking ahead for future shoots with Gem.

Highly recommended :-)

I had a lovely shoot with Gem in her home studio. The booking was frictionless (apart from a stuck front door :-) ) and after working out a way to sync her studio lights with one of my own, we were soon creating lovely warm images that defied the cold outside. I was able to draw on her vast experience, which definitely helped me achieve better quality captures. Thank you, Gem. Booking Gem is definitely one of those "no-brainer" decisions. Her skills as model, photographer, MUA, and stylist all combine to guarantee success no matter your artistic goals.

I've worked with Gem a few times now and every occasion has been great. This was a small group shoot with a vintage theme. Comms with Gem were excellent and she came along well prepared for the event. She did a great job for us again and kept all the photographers happy, and everyone captured some excellent images. She is a great model to work with and I look forward to working with Gem again later in the year :)

This was my very first shoot with Gem at @AuraPhotogrsphic Studio in Weedon Bec. Gem arrived early with an ambulance of clothing and we drove to the studio. Gem is simply one of the best models on Purpleport requiring virtually no direction as she has plenty of experience. She is very easy going and the day flew by. We discussed the sets as we went along as there is so much to photograph at AURAPhotographic. Thanks again for a wonderful shoot and really looking forward to our next booking. Highly recommended.

Had a most successful shoot with Gem today exploring a variety of themes. This was my first shoot with Gem & what a delightful model to work with. Relaxed & bursting with enthusiasm, energy & a totally professional approach, whilst gracefully creating a variety of superb poses with very little need for direction.
