Sami is a brilliant model. All comms spot on, so we had all the info required going into the shoot. Arrived right on time at the studio. She is very relaxed, chatty and a natural in front of the camera, improvising fluently around her own themes and some suggested by me. Looking forward to working with Sami again soon.

Highly recommended.

I had my first shoot with the lovely Sami and her companion as part of a group shoot in Newcastle Upon Tyne. Sami was extremely fun to work with, loads of ideas, outfits and happy to explore portraits and looks.

I would happily recommend her to any photographer considering her for their projects

Sami is an incredible model, her enthusiasm and willingness to try anything creative makes her a joy to work with.

Full of confidence with an eclectic wardrobe and a never ending supply of poses she is one of the very best models I've had the pleasure of shooting and I look forward to working with her again.

Very, very highly recommended.

Worked with Sami very recently and I have to say I wasn't disappointed. Very easy easy to work with and great fun . Puts so much time and effort into the shoot from makeup to outfit and I have to say I was without doubt blown away with the final product after our shoot. Without doubt the a true pro

I’ve worked with Sami twice now and she is such a pleasure to work with. Communication was great and she had loads of good ideas. She was ready on time on both occasions and very confident in front of the camera. I’m very happy with loads of out images and can’t wait to work with her again. Thanks Sami xx

I've been following Sami on Purpleport for a few months now and was hoping to do a shoot with her as soon as restrictions were lifted.

As soon as that day came, I messaged her about doing one and she agreed.

The communication was brilliant and she was ready and waiting to go when myself and my partner turned up for the shoot yesterday.

She was awesome. Nothing was too much trouble, she was excitable and went with the flow, doing whatever was asked of her. She also knew exactly how to pose, had ideas of her own and never got bored. None of us wanted the shoot to end to be honest.

A very happy, really friendly and fun girl to work with and we cannot wait to shoot with her again. We've already talked about ideas for the next shoot.

I highly recommend Sami if you're looking for a fun and relaxed model.

Roll on the next shoot! :)

Thanks Sami

I arranged a shoot with Sami last weekend and it was great...

She never complained about me getting her shoes all muddy and was an absolute trooper trying allsorts of weird and wonderfully poses for me. We got some really great shots and I am very happy with the results.

I highly recommend Sami to photographers looking for someone with a real edgy look and a touch of flair and down to earthness too.

I really look forward to our next adventure when the mud dries out :P

Thanks,

Paul :D

Great comms with Sami and very versatile. Totally professional and worked very well. Her faithful friend Betty was lovely too. I hope we can work together soon..

I had been looking to shoot with Sami for quite some time and finally got the chance. Despite the poor weather Sami was keen to shoot and it was great to have a casual introductory shoot.

It will come as no surprise that Sami arrived with an amazing look! Her styling is always nothing short of incredible and very much a Photographers dream in terms of being different and interesting; striking even!

Sami has a really engaging personality also and has a way of making you feel like you have known her for the longest time. A short review will never do proper service but Sami is clearly much more than just a model, she is a creative! Certainly recommended and hope to work together again sometime!

second shoot with this wonderful young lady, she is so much fun to be around, Sammi is a standout model with her colorful hair and outfits and always full of ideas about location and posing which in turn leads to great images, 100% recommended, looking forward to creating with her again soon, thank you Sammi:)

Great shoot with Sami, she brings great energy and a wicked sense of humour to boot! Can’t wait for our next one!

Had my third shoot with this amazing young woman. It was a collaboration with TBPhotography, at a studio in Teeside. AS USUAL, Sami was excellent throughout. Needs little or none direction, and had plenty of brilliant ideas on the day, as well as amazing outfits. She LOVES thinking outside the box for ideas, and it shows in her creativity. I HONESTLY SERIOUSLY cant recommend her enough, and cant wait till our next shoot :-)

Another shoot with the fabulous Sami - what a model - so creative, poised and fun. I love her weird outfits and her willingness to do what it takes to get the images right. Today was low key art nude and then fashion style accessories made of cable ties, and those wonderful boots. This is a model that other togs should be contacting if they want a fun filled, creative and highly productive shoot with a lovely young woman. I will definitely be working with her again - highly recommended

A fabulous shoot with PaintedPirate. Had great pre-shoot comms so we both knew what to expect. Friendly and full of exciting ideas. Listens and takes direction very well. She really likes photograpy so will give 150%. Looking forward to working with PaintedPirate again.

Sami, PaintedPirate, is a wonderful and inspiring lady who is a pleasure to work with. She is friendly, relaxed and very reliable. Sami's assistance dog, Betty, is wonderful and was also a joy to work with. I'd recommend this pair to anyone and hope to be working with them again soon.

Had my second shoot with Sami today. What can I say. Sami is one of the most amazing models I have worked with. Her friendliness, and passion for her modelling, shine like beacons in the dark. She gives 200% all the time.

She has a WICKED sense of humour, which always puts me at ease. Pre coms as always were excellent. Cannot recommend highly enough. If you havent worked with her.......WHY ?

We are already thinking about ideas for our next shoot, and I cant wait to work with her again. A REAL GEM.

TBPhotography

My third shoot with the amazing Sami and the equally wonderful Betty, her fab dog. We had a day out in North Yorkshire shooting various outfits including 3 sets of designed bin bags. It was a blast from start to finish as Sami is a natural model. She just knows how to shape her body and flows from one pose to another. She has an amazing sense of fun and a wicked sense of humour. She was a delight from start to finish and I cannot recommend her highly enough - we'll definitely be shooting again...soon

Pictorium

My first shoot with Sami and what a great model she is.

We arranged to do a steampunk theme shoot and Sami not only came prepared with her own ideas, but also brought along a wide range of her own props as well to further support the concepts that had been discussed. Sami took direction well, when needed, but the majority of the time Sami was able to pose freely and without direction. As a person Sami is a very bubbly, chatty person with a great sense of humour and positive attitude to modelling.

I'd recommend working with Sami to anyone and look forward to collaborating again with her in the future.
