2 minds are better than one they say.

Me and Marie got together for a full day of creating a few styles and fine art portraiture in the studio.

What can I say about Marie that's not been said already but is amazing, talented and loves to create outstanding styles?

Always a pleasure to work together with lots of chit-chats, giggles and almost tears.

Anybody that hasn't already shot with Marie already then you need to book her and won't be disappointed in any way but to come away with stunning images for your portfolio or to show on social media platforms.

Till next time Marie,

You are the best xx

Crossroads Studio

Marie today hosted another maternity shoot. This one was based on location, on the moors above Haworth.

Although not shot in the studio, I was able to throw my hand in to help when needed and have the time to watch a very professional and experienced model at work.

Despite being in the (very) latter stages of her pregnancy, and the day not being much above “cold” Marie posed endlessly throughout the day, changing location, walking up and down hills, laying amongst heather and perching on rocks. Add to this her changing room was the front seat of a car which isn’t easy at the best of times, but throw huge gowns and a 8 and a bit month old bump into the mix and you get the idea of how hard Marie works and what lengths she is willing to go to to give the photographers amazing images.

I have to say that my favourite set as an onlooker was the last. This was as the light was going a little and some flash was used. Great model, and great sky. I’m sure you will see many of these images here soon.

I run out of superlatives for Marie and would just advise any photographer, new or experienced, work with Marie whenever you can. You won’t be disappointed

Crossroads Studio

Marie chose Crossroads Studio as one of the few where she was hosting her maternity shoots, for which we are delighted.

As always, Marie arrived with amazing gowns and looks to show off “bump” Both were fun to have in the studio and as she always does, Marie put on a real show for the photographers, working tirelessly, professionally, and with great humour.

For any model starting out, this is one model you can really learn from. From appearance to conducting yourself on a shoot, Marie has it all.

I can only say that there was a very happy group of photographers at the end of the day.

Of course I recommend Marie! So photographers get in there to book Marie asap after her maternity break. You won’t regret it.

Another shoot with Marie-Jean, and another great morning of image creation. I had wrongly assumed that this would be a slower session with lots of breaks given Marie -Jeans pregnancy, but how wrong was I, she is still a posing dynamo, we worked through loads of looks, and the images are great, this studio day at Crossroads Studio was one of her last event before maternity leave, but if you want good images, great styling and a model who gives her all to get the images all you need to do is book Marie-Jean.

Thanks for another great session, and best wishes for the coming weeks, make the most of your time off.

What a fabulous two days working with Marie working on two different theme maternity shoots. One in the studio and one on the moores above Howarth.

Marie is totaly decicated to her work and puts more than 100% in to every pose and the amazing wardrobe thats she brought.

Even so late into her pregnacy with only two weeks before her due date she is still giving 110%. Although Marie was in some discomfort she still posed to create amazing images. A truely remarkable and dedicated woman.

You can only have the highest praise for Marie. Highly recomemded to work with you will never be disapointed with images she creates.

look forward to working with you again in the Future both as a model and an events organiser.

kind regards John.

Had the great pleasure of catching up with Marie at one of her events at the Boardroom PHLY

Marie organised a "Perfectly Pastels" shoot & our model was Tegan Elizabeth.

The outfits were lush, very pretty indeed, but when Marie is organising an event, I wouldn't expect anything less. She has some beautiful top notch outfits.

We had a great day shooting with Tegan & it was great seeing Marie again for a good chin wag.

Marie's events are highly recommended

Tegan Elizabeth

Marie booked me to model for an event at the boardroom studio as part of her “create” events forum called Perfectly Pastel as she’s pregnant at the moment so focusing on her maternity shoots.

Communication prior to the event was clear and concise and the event once advertised sold out in under 2 hours.

She’s so lovely and made sure I was ok throughout the event as it ran from 10-5pm.

Being a model herself she knew how imperitive it was for the model to be looked after, she made sure I was warm and had plenty to drink as shared lots of behind the scenes with me as that’s always nice to have for social media.

The event was fabulous and I can’t wait to see the images that come out from it.

It was refreshing to collaborate with another model who was so down to earth, friendly and not bitchy or horrible, as some models are.

I would definitely recommend Marie’s workshops and also booking her as a model as her images are great!

I look forward to working with her again in the future as it was a breeze.

Crossroads Studio

I’ve known and worked with Marie for quite a few years now and she always delivers whatever you’ve asked for and then some.

At the moment Marie is concentrating on set designs and creating events. I am delighted that Crossroads is one of the studios she will be holding her events.

This one was advertised as Fashion with an Edge. It certainly was that.

Marie had hired an amazing model, KittyKat8311, and her outfits were latex. The set was simple but matched the outfits exactly.

Being a model herself Marie always has the welfare of the models as her priority so set design, outfits and timings are all meticulously worked on beforehand.

If you are considering a shoot and need a set and outfits then you really should call in Marie who will have you sorted before you know it.

I have a problem with Marie Jean. I am running out of things to say about her. Whether it’s as a model or as in this case as organiser, planner, stylist, supervisor, entertainer, and generally all round nice person.

I attended an event organised by Marie Jean at Crossroads Studio, the second I have been to, and again it was well planned with a great model, Kittykat8311, some great looks and that undefinable something that makes the time fly and a shoot enjoyable.

So whether you need a model, a stylist or just someone to get you and your shoot organised Marie Jean is the one to seek out.

Kat Bee

I modelled for Marie at an event she organised at CrossRoads Studio, she was an absolute dream. Very communicative through the whole process from conception to the day, very supportive and lovely, could not asked for a more knowledgable lead on what I needed as a new model. Would strongly recommend and would love to work for her again.

Dave Linford

Another FAB! shoot with MJ... beautiful flowing maternity shoot that I feel so privileged to have captured. Love the chat , coffee & cake and creativity. Absolutely no hesitation in recommending Marie as a model - an absolute joy to work with her again. There will be more shoots to follow for sure!!!

John Downey BSc

Shot with Marie as part of a vintage shoot afternoon at Mainshoot Photography studio, my second shoot with Marie. Excellent afternoon of shooting vintage Hollywood style, Marie was an excellent free-posing model in outfits befitting the genre and enthusiastic to achieve the best images possible. Great shoot, highly recommended !

Marie approached me with a view with us collaborating with each.i loved her look and creativity and i was wowed when i finally saw the final shoot images, I was kept updated right throughout, and the collab of our work had the added bonus of being published in 2 magazines, thanks also to amazing photographer Dean and mua Kellie. Would highly recommend

Ballerina Erica Mulkern

What can I say...

Marie came to me late last year and asked if I wanted to model for her Vintage Valentine Event at Crossroads Studio and I don't think I could have said yes faster if I tried!

From day 1 Marie has been excellent with her pre shoot communications which made me feel at ease every step of the way.

Not only did Marie organise the event, team, outfits etc she STYLED AND DESIGNED THE ENTIRE SET.

It was filled with fabric, candelabras, flowers, custom hanging pieces, a swing, a vintage suitcase etc. She created the most beautiful set.

Marie on shoot days was full of energy and couldn't do enough to help- to the point where I had to remind her to sit down, she is 6 months pregnant after all!

I cannot wait to work with her again in the future and in case you needed any further swaying to hire Marie or not, HIRE HER.

She can design, pull together a team in a flash and she's not a bad model either ;)

But seriously, Marie is a one of a kind in all of the best ways possible. ♥

I've shot with Marie before but this was the first time of attending one of her styled events. Organisation of the event was all sorted in advance so no stress there.

The sets that she'd styled and outfits she'd sourced, some of which had eye watering values, were perfect for the event and looked lovely on Erica.

There was plenty of scope for creativity whether it was changing light setups, utilising props as well as plying with different angles or compositions. I liked how people shot individually and weren't in the same room so watching what people did, meaning that everyone did their own things without be influenced by seeing others ideas.

The crossroads studio was ideal for the event and the group I was on was very friendly and easy going so it was a very relaxed but productive event.

I'd happily go to another one of Marie's events as she puts so much effort into them plus she's a great laugh. Oh and did I mention there was also some snacks and cakes plus tea/coffee on tap when people wanted. Beinterested to see what she comes up with next

Mark Searle Photography

This was Marie Jeans second styled shoot, as stylist at Crossroads Studio. The first one was good, this one was even better and I am already looking forward to the next one. MJ created a set with a wide range of shooting possibilities, sourced a great selection of out fits and selected a beautiful model, Ballerina Erica Mulkern, who complemented the theme and the look wonderfully.

If you are looking for a stylist, look no further.

I have worked with Marie lots of times as a model and this vintage valentine set that Marie had created was out of this world. beautiful soft pastel colours fabric, flowers, props and a beautiful swing, the gowns were amazing.

Marie has certainly set her satandards at the very top and a great achievment with being pregnant. Marie worked exceptionly hard all day to make sure that fantastic images were achieved.

she had an amazing team to bring all this together as well as a beautiful model in Erica Mulkern.

These events that Marie is creativing is a must for all, highly recommend attend them if you get the chance.

Absolute pleasure being able to attend and working with you Marie and Erica.

look forward to working with you again.

Zavod Studio UK

Not like MJ needs another reference from a studio BUT...

She is simply incredible and we were so lucky to have her at Zavod today. Excellent pre-comms, arrived earlier than expected, with a lot of kit that was spot on for the moodboard of the shoot.

She was up for any crazy ideas that we had in mind too and delivered them, of course, effortlessly.

I am so looking forward for Marie to hopefully come back to our studio soon and bring her shining creativity back into the building.

You haven't worked with her yet? ARE YOU MAD? Book here asap.

Thank you so much for today,

Zavod Studio :)

Shoot no.2 at home with MJ and another stunning afternoon just being creative. Theme was set for a wet look set of portraits and we hit the ground running... Marie is such a delightful creative person and our ideas and images just seemed to flow. Great ideas and fantastic expression & pose - Obviously I would fully recommend Marie - although I was swayed with coffee cake :) I am really happy with the images captured and will be shooting again together in the not too distant future!

Stunning!
