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!

Another awesome shoot with Jade, we took a twist on mirrors and soft Sunday vibe.

Naturally working with jade was fantastic and it was great to catchup, she is a very professional model and a charming lady.

I feel our shoots are a great time to experiment with remote shooting possibilities and have fun at the same time.

I'm looking forward to our next shoot already. Highly recommended.

Thanks Jade :)

One of the nicest people I could wish to work with, as my second remote shoot I am still learning but her enthusiasm and support made the 2 hours fly by and she made lots of really helpful suggestions to make the most of what we were doing. I look forward to working with Jade in the future

Today I had my first ever remote shoot and Jade could not have given me a better introduction to this new form of photography. Not only is she a beauty that the camera loves, but she was wonderfully professional from quick and full response to first enquiry, Zoom call precisely at agreed time, everything discussed was prepared, helpful comments and suggestions throughout the shoot and a prompt upload of the images after the shoot. The sun was even shining today giving us fantastic warm natural light. Thanks Jade for a great shoot!

I've worked with Jade a number of times on shoots. This was a remote shoot, my first. Very easy to get the hang of, Jade did a brilliant job of setting things up and had some good ideas which we had discussed beforehand. Very pleased with final shots and as always the communication beforehand was excellent.

I shot remotely with Jade the other day and it was a terrific experience. Of course we got great pictures, but the way she interacted with me and was so accommodating was what made it special. I will definitely be shooting again with her and recommend her to anyone who wants a friendly, smart and terrific model.

I recently did a remote shoot with Jade after applying to her casting call for Soft Sunday remote shoots. And I am very glad I did! I found working with Jade to be a truly delightful experience, with her being incredibly friendly and conversation flowing easily throughout the shoot, with us talking about films and all sorts. Pre and post shoot communications were excellent and she took on board all the ideas we discussed beforehand as well as contributing some of her own. She chose perfect outfits for the looks I wanted to achieve and was great with her poses with us producing some terrific images together. I thoroughly enjoyed our shoot and would definitely work with Jade again. Very highly recommended!

I’ve shot with Jade a number of times now, but this was my first remote shoot with her tethered set up, and it couldn’t have been better!

Jade is a stunningly beautiful model (as many others will attest) and one of the nicest people to boot. The shoot went really well, lots options on the day as well as some pre-communicated ideas via Pinterest - it’s always nice to blend all the ideas on the day and come up with completely unexpected, case in point some beautiful light flares which we were able to nicely position towards the end. And that end came fast - wow the time flew. Isn’t that Einstein’s observation?

100% happily and heartily recommended.

I worked with Jade on a remote shoot today. Although it was my first remote shoot, Jade made it an absolutely fantastic experience.

Pre-comms from Jade was clear and allowed us to discuss the different ideas and setups we wanted to try. On the day, she showed up (virtually) prepared with all the lighting and camera setup. She was relaxed and cheerful but also professional. She gave excellent creative inputs that helped getting some fantastic shoots. She also posed great without need for directions.

The set-up for the remote shoot was also fantastic, with a variety of lens to meet the different needs and a range of set-ups to choose from as necessary.

Overall, I'd absolutely recommend Jade to everyone. With this positive experience I suspect I'd be doing more remote shoots, and of course I'd love to work with Jade again if the opportunity arise.

Second remote shoot with Jade, which was very fun and we got some amazing images with the soft sunday theme.

Personally Jade is an awesome person to work with and very funny too.

I hope it's not too long before we get to shoot remotely again soon and hopefully in person when the rules allow.

If you haven't taken the opportunity to shoot remotely with Jade yet, you really should :D

My first shoot with Jade on remote shoot.

Jade was extremely prepared and was such a lovely person to work with and she has lots of ideas too. It was great to play around with concepts together. The images captured look amazing and I can't wait to start editing them.

It was fun and while technology didn't always want to play ball, we just went with the flow and time disappeared too quickly.

I look forward to getting the chance to work with Jade again (hopefully in person) but at the very least remotely :)

Did you know Jade is almost 30? I was like OMG how during our shoot! I know I should have paid closer attention but gosh she easily looks 23/24, dam those good genes! I just had to point that out as it literally blew my mind!

So I shot with Jade in October 2020, I actually also shot with her in January as my first shoot of 2020 and clearly, I was thoroughly impressed. Obviously, her references speak for herself but having shot her twice so far, originally in 2019 I have to say I think right now she is spectacular!

Pre-comms were excellent, I actually purchased a voucher for her via her website during the covid 1.0 lockdown and happened to have some studio time at Saracen House to use. I wanted to do a very laid back style shoot, focusing on natural light esk images but incorporating ambient light.

When she arrived at the studio she had her outfits all organised, which I love and she had so many options! I’ve mentioned this before but I like to shoot lots of outfits, I generally know what I like and don’t like so always prefer to have options than to be limited and she had lots of options.

I really enjoy shooting with models like Jade as I know I can focus on being creative or maybe experiment a bit more with lights or props and know she can nail being the model and not require any instructions, knowing how to read the light, knowing how to pose and keep her poses within the frame I’m shooting.

Jade is really polite, easy to talk to, and being a photographer herself you have a lot of common interests. She’s also a bit quirky, in the studio I found a couple of random props like a disco light and a giant teddy and she rose to challenge or trying to work that into an idea. She’s also super bubbly, positive and just an awesome person, I guess she gets that from her partner.

Would I recommend Jade? Hell yes. She’s professional, works hard, has a great smile and a terrific figure. Having shot her last year and then again this year I definitely think her posing this year is just epic, I’m obviously pretty critical as an individual but she definitely seems much more confident than when I last shot her so well done you!
