Having already worked with Jade I was already well aware of her talent & professionalism ,so had no hesitation in asking her to model for a group shoot that I had been asked to put together.

Jade is really friendly, chatty and warm which makes working with her so much fun, the time literally flew by!!!. Comms were terrific from the start too, making it especially easy to arrange everything.

On the day the group loved working with Jade, her personality really shining through in everyone's work, it's easy to see why she has so many wonderful references.

Thanks for a great shoot Jade, look forward to working with you again soon!

Highly recommended (Y)

Jade joined us on our Big Shoot workshop at Castle Ashby Gardens and was an absolute pleasure to work with. She turned up early, fully prepared and ready to go. She worked with the photographers on our workshop brilliantly, was chatty, posed effortlessly with and without direction and bought a lot of her own great ideas to the shoot too. We'd certainly recommend her and will work with her again in the future.

I booked Jade for a studio day in London, and she was great. Fantastic personality, friendly, funny and full of energy.

She is a good, experienced model. She came well prepared, with a good selection of outfits and was able to effortlessly adapt her posing style to every one of the photographers.

Highly recommended!

Worked with Jade on an Island in the Thames. Lovely ;location and lovely model, very friendly. Took minimal directions and was easy to pose and make suggestions. She even braved the stinging nettles and the little midges. Would love to work with again.

Jade is one of the best model that I have worked with. I have worked with her for three times now and at the end of every shoot I had with her, I always get this positive feeling both photography and emotionally wise. It is such a breeze to build rapport with Jade because she is such a friendly and down to earth person.

Modelling wise she is such a professional. You are GUARANTEED to get amazing shots with Jade. She can pose with or without direction effortlessly. Also what I like about Jade is that she has ‘soul’ in her poses. She can do a lot of different moods in her poses: Smiley / happy, moody or the ‘fashion’ look that looks natural. This is a rare and a beautiful skill to have in a model.

I simply cannot recommend Jade enough. If you have a chance, book her as soon as possible!

Had my first shoot with Jade on location this weekend as part of a workshop group. Working 1:1 with her was fantastic. Jade is so professional and easy to work with. We got some stunning shots in the bag and had a load of fun whilst doing so. Would absolutely recommend working with Jade; and would look do do so myself some time soon.

I worked with Jade on a fashion/portrait workshop on Platt’s Eyot Island. Jade not only combines great looks and professionalism, she has a wonderfully joyful personality and is incredibly easy to work with. She’s also quite an accomplished photographer herself and is able to use this knowledge and her modelling experience to help out if you get a bit ‘stuck’ creatively. Jade is highly recommended whatever your level of experience and I can’t wait to get a chance to work with her again.

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.

JIX 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.
