Jess is fantastic. We had a great shoot down on the beach and she showed up prepared, smiling and ready to work. Posed with little direction and was enthusiastic throughout the shoot. I would highly recommend her.

This was my third shoot with Jess, this time using my home studio setup.

Pre shoot comms were good and Jess brought a nice selection of outfits, giving us three different looks for the shoot (we had a choice of about 8 with a bit of mix and match).

When you need to concentrate on the 'techie bits' it really helps having a model like Jess who doesn't need much direction and is a pleasure to work with.

Although I need to work with more models, I can't see us not having a fourth shoot early in the new year.

Had an amazing first shoot with Jess on location , and despite the nest efforts of the weather we got some great images, Jess was well prepared and full of enthusiasm throughout the shoot and I can't praise her highly enough, I am looking forward to working with her many more times in the future

This is the second time I've worked with Jess, this time at a fabulous indoor location in Ammanford. Pre-shoot coms, as before, were fantastic and Jess turned up exactly according to the brief - typically exceeding expectations! She looked out of this world. She puts so much effort in and it shows.

We shot digital and monochrome film in the various areas of the location (The Velvet Chapel) - Jess is a photographer's dream - her eyes and complexion are ridiculously beautiful and just to die for (10 second retouches, even for close up shots). She's able to communicate emotions and thoughts through her eyes beautifully, which give very natural and hugely impactful images.

Jess is just wonderful to work with, being very engaging and easy to talk to (she's just lovely). She poses beautifully, needing minimal direction only when specific ideas come to mind. It goes without saying that I want to work with Jess again - soon! Very soon!

I 1,000,000% recommend Jess to photographers of all skill/experience levels. Don't hesitate - just book her!

Thanks again Jess :)

This was a second shoot with Jess and we had previously discussed some ideas for the shoot without being over prescriptive. Jess turned up almost ready to roll, with a good selection of outfits and a great attitude.

The shoot was relaxed, fun and productive, and Jess needed very little direction (all of these things being a great help to myself, as I am still finding my own feet).

I would absolutely recommend Jess to anyone, her looks speak for themselves but she is also very pleasant and very easy to get along with 😁

I did a shoot today with Jess at my home studio with mostly fashion and portraits with different lighting setups. Jess was punctual and well prepared with outfits.

I really enjoyed working with Jess, she's is friendly and posed well with her own ideas but took direction well too.

An excellent new model with a lot of potential and I'm looking forward to the final shots.

Highly recommended by me and I would be happy to work with Jess again 👍🏼 😊🙂

I had my first shoot with Jess today at Swansea Marina and seafront. Pre-shoot comms were regular, thorough and excellent. Jess turned up early for the shoot exactly according to our brief, but totally exceeded my expectations. She looked absolutely stunning. As I quickly discovered, she's also an adorable person, extremely easy to talk to and get along with. It wasn't long before we were having a good laugh.

Despite Jess' self-proclaimed inexperience at modeling she poses absolutely beautifully, naturally and independently. Prior to the shoot I told her I like "chilled vibes" in my portraits and she communicated that into her posing absolutely perfectly. And those eyes!!! Jess' eyes are every portrait photographer's dream. Incredible!!

I wholeheartedly recommend Jess to photographers of all skill levels, even if you are not confident directing models, because she's such a natural. I'm also confident she will go as far as she wants in modeling if she chooses to. I'm very much looking forward to working with Jess again, hopefully very soon.

Thank you for your lovely company, and for the camera full of gold 😊

This was my second shoot with Jess and yet again was an amazing shoot. Jess turned up on time and well presented. form the set go the conversation flowed and so did the banter.

Jess was happy to take directions but was happy to do some of her own.

Jess came up with a great concept for the shoot using flowers to get some arty shots but was happy to take suggestions and try some new ideas out too.

Jess, Thankyou again for a great shoot look forward to editing the photos from this shoot and looking forward to the next shoot.

I feel incredibly honoured to be leaving the first (of many I hope) references for Jess.

We had initially arranged to shoot the following week but due to the forecast for rain I suggested that we brought the shoot forward to the next day, which Jess readily agreed to. She even went out of her way to get her nails done that day, so that they would be fresh for the shoot.

Outfits had been agreed beforehand and it was obvious that Jess was someone that enjoys creating different looks for shoots. When I called for her she was ready to shoot in her first outfit, with hair and makeup done to perfection.

Jess is able to pose with or without direction and the 4 hours flew by, accompanied by conversation and banter and it was very easy to get to know Jess. Conditions were occasionally quite testing underfoot and the high winds didn't help but the smile never faltered and it was a hugely enjoyable shoot.

Here's hoping for more shoots with this lovely young lady and I wouldn't hesitate to recommend her to my fellow photographers.
