Second shoot with Josie and would I still recommend her - absolutely no way ;) - I want her to have lots of time available to just shoot with me !!!

Book her whilst you still can and you will come away from shooting Josie with the biggest smile on your face you ever had.

I said in July how good she was on our first shoot - 2 months and umpteen shoots on she just gets better and better.

I had a group shoot with Josie on Saturday. She was very professional and had a up beat presence. She was chatty, friendly and enthusiastic about her modeling. She was on time and well prepared and a joy to be around. She wasnt worried about getting wet, cold and climbing on rocks! Would highly reccomend and would not hesitate to work with her again in the future. A* :)

I had the pleasure of meeting and shooting with Josie at a group beach shoot at Hope Gap, Sussex. I don't think I have ever seen a Model enjoy herself as much as Josie did on the shoot, She was brilliant. Bundles of fun and energy, she talks almost as much as me which is really saying something. Joise was very open to shoot ideas throughout the day and is simply a joy to work with. Any Tog who get's to shoot with Joise can consider themselves very fortunate to do so.

I shot recently with Josie at my home. Pre-shoot comms were spot on and she provided some ideas of her own too.

She turned up on time with her make up and hair perfect for what we had planned with appropriate lingerie and a massive smile on her face.

She had ideas for poses, was able to take direction and we had a great shoot. I wouldn't hesitate to both work with Josie again and to recommend her to anyone.

Such a lovely lady and a joy to work with :-)

Josie came to the studio with Faisel (Gman) as they were having a joint shoot.

Josie is fun to work with (lots of laughs during the shoot), but this didn't distract from the work in hand, if anything it made the shoot easier. Josie takes direction well and has a charm all of her own. She is a real pleasure to work with, not just as a model but also such a fun person to have around.

I highly recommend Josie, a real star.

What an outstanding model and lovely person! I have not met such an enthusiastic model that has put herself through so much discomfort to get the shot required, whilst still remaining positive and upbeat. Not only did I drag Josie through the mud into total darkness, I then got her to strip off and plunge herself into freezing cold water (several times) in order to get the shots I needed. Before dragging her back through the mud, back into daylight. I never heard Josie utter a single negative comment throughout the whole 8hrs, in fact, she kept the whole team entertained and in good spirits, especially with her dancing!

I can't speak highly enough about Josie as she has impressed me hugely, with her professionalism and all-round awesomeness. A pure delight and a must to work with, very highly recommended. We MUST work together again...

WOW! Was on a shoot with Josie yesterday, assisting and then getting some shots myself after. Josie was asked to strip of almost naked and get into a freezing cold pool of water in a cold underground mine. The proffesionalism she showed as she approached this was incredible! Despite having to crawl through a very muddy dark tunnel to even get there she made no complaints and did everything that was asked and more. She looked incredible and held amazing composure when submerged and freezing.

She was also an absolute pleasure to be in the company of, dancing and singing and just having such a bubbly personality. She was even sweet enough to watch me pose and make compliments which was so lovely.

She is such a great model and a lovely person to be around i recommend her to anyone :)

Josie responded to a casting that I put up and I'm delighted she did. We had a fairly random 'let's go for a drive and find some locations' shoot which actually worked very well providing some great places to shoot, have lunch and the added bonus of finding a middle-class hippy dance commune workshop...

Josie is very composed, has beautiful skin, knows how to present herself to the camera, and is calm and confident. She's a smashing model and I am very glad we got to work together. I hope that we can shoot some more very soon.

Josie responded to a casting I put up, which I am glad she did. Communication from the start was excellent. We arranged to meet in a location she recommended, which provided us with plenty of shooting opportunities. Josie brought a range of different outfits and accessories to the shoot which helped produce a good range of looks, in a relatively short shoot.

Josie is very professional and she is a good laugh to work with. She has energy and enthusiasm by the barrel load. If you turn around and she is not there, she's probably up a tree!

I really enjoyed the shoot and I'm really pleased with the results. I would love to work with Josie again, so it goes without saying that she is very highly recommended :)

Josie modelled in a woodland shot showcasing a vintage brands attire for a shoot overseen by one of our agency's interns and was an utter delight to work with.

She was patient and dedicated despite the challenging outdoor location, remained professional and gave lots of energy to the lookbook. As a model she is very graceful and worked to achieve the desired outcome of the shoots concept.

Would love to work with Josie again!

Second shoot with Josie, and just as much fun!

I'd not shot this style before with Josie busting out some of her dance moves, but we worked really well together to establish the look we were after and were careful to ensure it worked. Josie tried talking to me in dance speak but as someone who knows the dance terms of "the robot" and "the running man" that got abandoned quickly and I was reduced to me waving my hands in the air to describe what I was working and what wasn't. :D

Had a great day, Josie is great to work with and I challenge you to come away from a shoot with her and not have had a laugh!

Sad to know she's leaving the area but if I've ever over her next of the woods I'l certainly be contacting her.

Josie responded to my last minute casting call and despite having very little time to plan we spent a day shooting a variety of styles after clear comms with her.

There is simply no way to easily describe how good my shoot with Josie was. With dance and drama experience she immediately grasped the ideas I had and came up with some great ones herself and whilst not needing direction promptly undersood it when asked.

Her pictures show how attractive she is and her abilty to pose and use her dancing skills - what they can't show is how much fun she is to shoot with and some of the out-takes are hilarious

She had no problem trying some of my wild ideas and despite hanging upside in a tree to sitting in a very cold and muddy pond she kept smiling throughout

It's true what they say - the best things do come in small parcels :) - book her now before she gets too busy.

I was delighted to book my second retro-fitness shoot with Josie. With her fabulous figure and a smile that lights up the room, Josie is the perfect choice for my type of work. She also brings her own special style and charm to the shoot, that she is able to meld perfectly with the creative brief, with seemingly effortless ease.

This time we decided to be more experimental - doing multiple exposure work in an attempt to capture her dance moves. Josie's dance training means that she is able to place herself with millimetric accuracy, making difficult and complex poses look natural and easy.

She is able to maintain that delicate balance between being hard-working and determined to get a pose right, with being fun, laid-back and pleasant to work with. Frankly, the English language does not have enough superlatives to describe Josie as accurately as I would like! She is an amazing model and I am delighted with the end results!

Had a second shoot with Josie on thursday, once again in slightly challenging conditions. We were shooting in a forest as the sun was going down, which meant bugs galore. Everyone was bitten a lot!

Josie was great fun and really professional. Her infectious laugh kept the whole shoot going and the images look to be great. Thanks for another great shoot, looking forward to more!

I had a last minute opportunity to shoot Josie and I'm so glad I took it.

She is very hardworking, talented yet very down to earth. She takes direction well and puts herself through it physically to get the shot. She has an abundance of very infectious energy and is very funny from the off.

Would very much recommend her and hope to work with her again soon.

After a the universe plotted against us, we finally got our shoot together. Josie is such a positive fun and beautiful person. She takes direction very well and is extremely laid back. The shoot was an absolute joy and I can highly recommend her! Thanks :)

I finally managed to shoot with Josie today, we have been trying for sometime, however due to the lovely British weather we've only just managed it! When I met Josie, she had plenty of outfits and had really thought out her styling. She even was able to suggest some locations in the locality which was brilliant.

Our shoot flashed by, and was every bit as enjoyable as it was productive. Josie took great direction and had plenty of her own pose ideas. With her infectious smile and laugh, she will go far in what ever direction she chooses in life. Beautiful model who you would be foolish to not book!

Thanks Josie, I look forward to the next one :)

Josie really is in a class of her own and a delight to work with. She is what would have been described in days of old as a "natural beauty", with big green eyes and a smile that lights up the room. Nice hair, great legs, fabulous figure, tiny little waist, perfect posture and NO tattoos - not even a small one.

Her pre-shoot comms were excellent and she really went that extra mile to understand the genre. She even read and understood the shoot plan! We were utterly gobsmacked! :-)

As a trained dancer Josie has the physique and stamina to make complex and difficult poses look natural and easy. So natural, so flexible, so hard-working. She is also a very considerate, down-to-earth and thoroughly decent human being.

In fact, I think I can honestly say Josie is one of the finest models I have ever worked with. And I have been doing this for over 20 years!

I had a great shoot with Josie. She arrived very promptly, and was cheerful and proactive in making the shoot the best it could be. Brought a decent selection of outfits and and understood what I was after from the start. I would definitely recommend her to other photographers.

Had a very enjoyable shoot with Josie. Prior communication was excellent and on the day she turned up on time (actually she was early) and was well prepared. Very easy to work with and very pleasant company. She hasn't done many shoots and so, not surprisingly, was a little unsure of herself at times, but she learns quickly and was very willing to try some of my wackier ideas. Would love to work with her again.
