Having previously shot with Jade remotely back in January this year and thoroughly enjoyed the experience, when I saw that she was casting for shoots while visiting North Wales I jumped at the opportunity to work with her in person, especially in my neck of the woods where I had a beautiful location in mind for shooting. We shot for 3 hours against the beautiful backdrop of Happy Valley in Llandudno and the time just flew by with us able to chat easily throughout about a range of shared interests with the shoot being an extremely relaxed and enjoyable one. She brought a good selection of dresses to shoot and her posing was on point throughout. We produced some fantastic images together and I am glad that I had the chance to work with her in person. Very highly recommended!

My husband and I had a brilliant shoot with Jade, it was outside in natural light. Jade was amazing, fun, friendly and professional. We are best known for our portraiture and composite work and Jade pulled out all the stops for us. We had great fun and every image we took is good - I would highly recommend her.

I had a lovely shoot with Jade last Sunday. She had kindly agreed to model whilst I received some lighting tuition at NLS. I had warned Jade that the morning might be a little stop start for her, as we were setting up several lighting arrangements with tuition in between. Jade remained positive throughout the shoot though, with a lovely beaming smile across her face. When called upon, she very quickly got into her routine of posing, and delivered some lovely images. Very professional, but friendly and personable with it. Jade arrived on time, with all the outfits that I had requested. Thank-you Jade for helping to make the morning a success. Happy to recommend to studios and photographers of all levels.

I had a fun shoot with Jade yesterday - she arrived early, looking great with a good selection of outfits, a positive attitude and a good sense of humour - it was a delight to work with Jade, she took direction, posed very well and I'm very pleased with the results and would recommend her and certainly work with her again

Jade is professional, punctual and a very good model. She helps interpret ideas and poses naturally. A genuine pleasure to shoot with.

Here I am again - fourth shoot with Jade, the third in-person and this time a test evening for my new little Studio Space above the garage. Jade was her usual incredible self: chatty, friendly, helpful and obviously looked stunning bringing along great outfits to allow me to test the studio properly. Jade was incredibly patient as well as I blundered through learning new kit and how to use the space properly - thank you for that!

Couldn't recommend Jade any higher, can't wait to work together again!

Recently did a shoot with Jade, she was an absolute pleasure to work with. Great fun, very professional, worked hard and looked stunning! I hope to work with her again soon.

This was my second shoot with Jade, but my first in person shoot and this time we had quite a specialised theme, shooting underwater at tankspace.

Pre-shoot comms were on point as usual, though I didn't set a particular theme to shoot underwater (isn't underwater enough of a theme??) Jade came well prepared to the shoot with a range of outfits as well as some new ideas about how to combine them for best effect.

Jade's underwater and general modelling experience really shined and she delivered stunning poses from the start of the session. She was also so supportive of another model that I brought to the session (who hadn't shot underwater before and took a little bit of time to get used to shooting) and worked really well with her to get the absolute best out of the session, including a range of duo stills and videos in the tank.

Thoroughly recommended as always. Amazing, professional, experienced, multi-talented and just the most lovely person as well.

I really enjoyed my first shoot with Jade, who is a lovely person with a beautiful smile and an engaging laugh. Her pre-shoot communications were excellent. Jade knew what I wanted from the shoot and scouted around for suitable locations, suggesting Delapre Abbey and Everdon Woods with its amazing display of bluebells. The outfits that she brought were ideal for the two locations.

Jade poses with ease, responds to direction when given, but also offers constructive suggestions. She is fun to be with, whilst being highly professional as well as a delight to work with so it’s not surprising that together we created some gorgeous images.

Finally got chance to work with Jade in person and she is just as wonderful in person. Having had the chance to do several remote shoots with her. it was awesome to do a location shoot.

She brought several outfits and had some great ideas too, I look forward to shooting with her again.

Thanks again Jade, Highly recommended :)

I saw that Jade had a casting for location shoots not far from me, which sounded interesting. Pre-shoot communications were excellent and we agreed on a theme and location. Things went really well on the day of the shoot - Jade was on time and turned up with a useful collection of outfits and props to set the scene. We managed four separate themes in two hours and got some really good and varied images. Jade was very easy to work with, friendly, helpful and thoroughly professional throughout.

Definitely recommended!

I had the opportunity to work with Jad on a remote shoot a few days ago.

Prior to the shoot, we had discussed some ideas, and I'd provided moodboards for the two themes we would attempt. She was prepared at the start of the shoot, and that trend continued throughout the session: everything was ready to go and/or close at hand for what we needed.

She was great to work with, cheerful, friendly, and professional throughout the shoot, and promptly delivered the files. Files, which I will note, I'm very happy with!

This was my second shoot with Jade, this time together with partner-model Raj. Once again a fabulous shoot, very productive in an easy going atmosphere.

Jade has a gift to be relaxed in any scenario she is placed in, and this showed in this duo shoot, where she combined her own modelling with directing the inexperienced co-model.

I would dare to say shooting with Jade is addictive, and when she'll be visiting Belgium in the future, I'll be candidate for a new shoot with her.

Highly recommended, thanks Jade!

I had the pleasure of a short but sweet 1 hour remote shoot today with Jade.

Leading up to the shoot Jade communicated regularly with me, suggesting sets around her home, outfits and styling that would suit my theme of soft images with natural light, then some pretty portraits using Bokeh.

Jade had all the equipment set up, the 2 sets were beautiful and exactly what I wanted, her hair and makeup were beautiful and her outfits were lovely.

Jade was very easy to work with, a very natural model, poses without direction and also knows this side of the camera so offered practical advice throughout.

The hour passed too quickly and I got some beautiful shots, I'm really happy with what we created and will definitely book Jade again :)

I've had a number of remote shoots over the last 5 months since Lockdown 2.0 hit and remote shooting really took off, but I have to say that this was probably my favourite for a number of reasons...

I didn't give Jade much direction in advance of the shoot as she already has a number of themes and ideas on Purpleport and on her website that were great to use as a starting point for the shoot. On the day, Jade was ready to start at the agreed time and we quickly got into shooting and bouncing ideas between us using the range of props and outfits that she had available. Jade is set up well for remote shooting with a good camera and range of lenses as well as tripods/stands that enabled us to get some different angles and gave really good results. The technology all worked smoothly throughout the shoot and didn't distract us from playing with different ideas.

Jade is really confident and enthusiastic in front of the camera and wasn't afraid to experiment with different ideas and poses along the theme. The result was a versatile collection of shots, showing a wide range of different emotions and narratives that I'm really happy with.

In summary: a very talented, confident, well equipped and versatile model.

Hope to shoot with again!

Great to finally work with Jade on a shoot (remotely) after having known of her work and met socially once at a model's christmas drinks a couple years ago.

Jade's pre-comms were excellent from me approaching her after seeing her various posts about her remote shooting set up and sets, styles, etc she had available. Looking over the mood board I had sent her and offering up some ideas on styling as well, I could tell Jade was really getting into the style we settle on which was a bit retro and hippy style.

On the day of the remote, Jade supplied the remote details and was ready to shoot as soon as the Zoom call began. The shoot went by really quickly, but it didn't feel rushed and we had time to experiment with ideas as we progressed through the outfit options we had discussed beforehand in pre-comms. I'm happy when a model offers up ideas and suggestions on a shoot as we can bounce ideas around and see what works.

Once the shoot was over Jade had the files over to me within a few short hours. Awesome turnaround on files.

I look forward to working with Jade again in the future be it remotely or hopefully eventually in person on future shoots. Highly recommend model if you are looking to book a remote shoot.

This was my first shoot with Jade and everything went fantastic. Jade is very professional and dedicated, as well as being an absolutely beautiful model and fun to work with.

We had a relaxed working atmosphere, and Jade required very little direction and was able to immediately sense the mood and purpose of the shoot (stock photography).

I totally recommend Jade and hope to work with here again in the future!

This was my first shoot with Jade. Decided to go with soft Sundays vibe, before the shoot we agreed on the poses/setup and clothing. So this made everything very straight forward and allowed enough time to get 3 different sets shot.

Jade was very professional and helped me incorporate my ideas perfectly. Especially due to being remote and I was not able to change the setup myself.

In general it was delightful to work with Jade, she made the photoshoot very easy, and it was fun to try things out.

Highly recommend it, and looking forward to doing another shoot with Jade in the future.

I had my second remote shoot, this time with Jade. In precomms we had discussed what I wanted to shoot. I let Jade chose the sets and the order to shoot them in to make best use of the space, time and light.

Jade send me the meeting information on time and was ready to shoot. This meant we had a nice relaxed and unhurried pace and we covered all that we wanted to. Jade was enthusiastic and bubbly throughout, I received the Raw files the same day and am now busy developing the images. Thank you Jade Highly Recommended

I've shot with Jade before in "real life", and the shoots were great - this remote shoot was no different, apart from the fact it was all conducted within a 15" MacBook screen. Couldn't think of anyone better to spend a couple of hours on Zoom with though: Jade has created some brilliant little sets, the camera operation couldn't be easier and 2hrs shot by in a flash, was so good to be able to do some shooting again, even if remotely. Jade is easy-going, open to ideas but so full of brilliant ideas and knowledge herself she can help to fill in for my failings, and the smile is worth it a million times over. Thanks again Jade, will see you in person in the Summer!
