Had another shoot with Tess virtually straight after my last one . I had an idea for a shoot that Tess was fully on board with every shoot this lady brings her A game gives a 110% commitment to the shoot she is bubbly and full of enthusiasm

I highly recommend Tess we have worked together a few times now and it’s always great

Until next time

Second shoot with Tess and what a shoot this lady is dynamic and full of enthusiasm to get a shot. She doesn’t need any direction if you give her a brief she brings her A game .

Highly professional but also very down to earth

I cannot recommended her more highly

We are already planning another shoot

Tess is a model that will put you at ease after the first few shots you know your going to get an awesome shoot

Tess keep safe love to the family

And I’m looking forward to the next one

Had a great shoot with Tess in a rather marshy woodland. She's not put off by mud and swamp (unlike me, working about cameras and things!).

Tess arrived with a good selection of outfits that complemented the colours of the conifers and autumn beech leaves.

We had a fun time, curtailed when it started raining, but I had bagged all the shots boy then, so no big deal.

I've shot with Tess before and, as ever, she is fun to work with — chatty and easy going.

Highly recommended.

I don't have much time these days to do a shoot, so I give credit here on PP as to those who create great images and hopefully uplift, sadly many go through the net not noticed. I happened to land on Tess's image that lead me to her page. Giving credit where it's due, you can measure the person by the reaction to have a thank you pop into the message box was a tonic. It's not only about the image, it's about the person as well. Care is a big plus in a model and a team. Tess shows that. Thank you.

Well, I'm trying to convince myself that I should never work with Tess again. She's completely mad, bonkers, crazy. She can't navigate adequately. She nicked my clothes, leaving me to shiver in the cold, and when she eventually gave them back to me it took me two days to launder them. Not to mention the awful smell I had to put up with in the car on the way home.

On the other hand her mad capers are somehow delightful. As are our chats. She has more energy and enthusiasm than a mad march hare. She looks weirdly alluring when caked in mud. She also tolerates my faffing around.

Haha!

I have had a couple of shoots with Tess this week, as we both decided that we were going stir crazy during the second lockdown, so I arranged a couple of legal locations shoots, both night shoots in towns and cities local to one or both of us.

Tess arrived early for both shoots and actually diverted her drive to the 2nd shoots location to check out if a different location would work better.

During the shoot test was as always awesome, supplying so excellent ideas and suggestions which pretty much always worked. We got some brilliant shots and we really do make a fantastic team as we have worked together a lot since Tess started just 6 short months ago.

Tess is easy to shoot with, but also very challenging at times (in a very good way) as she questions you if your not happy with a shot, to get you to work out why your not happy, then we do it again, till its as good as were going to get. She make you think about your shots, and if you arent happy works amazingly hard to ensure you are.

Tess rise is amazing, I said on my very first reference that I was interested to see where she take this as the skys the limit, well she hasnt reached the sky yet, but shes making massive progress. Tess is one of th busiest models I know, and if you havent shot with her yet, whats wrong with you, its now november 2020 and Im booking Tess for March 2021 already

Thanks Tess, looking forward to December, and speak soon.

Have been following Tess and her meteoric rise on PP since she joined earlier in the year. Had been wondering about a suitable theme when I saw her casting for a winter beach shoot, which I thought would work.

And it did. We were blessed with glorious sunshine for the end of November plus an almost empty beach, apart from a Chinook coming over at about 50 feet (they heard rumours of a hot model on the beach). Shot around the harbour and beach with several nicely styled outfits.

Tess being immune to cold insisted on a bikini set despite it being 10 degrees. And who am I to argue?

Fantastic precomms, loads of different outfits in her magic bag, lots of accessories, an amazing work ethic, great poses, constant good humour and even managed to fake a laugh at my bad jokes.

Wish I hadn't waited so long. Planning more shoots for the future. If you have thought about working with Tess then delay no more.

This was my first shoot with Tess, I've seen her grow as a model and that's down to her hard work and enthusiasm. We arranged a mixed style shoot outdoors, so very weather dependant. Pre shoot coms were brilliant, we quickly agreed on style/theme and were on the same wavelength which helped alot. The weather was dry but windy day didn't deter Tess, she threw herself into everything we could use around us in the set. Both very happy with what we created and certainly going to have to reschedule another shoot and carry on where we left off.

Wow wow wow!

What a lovely model. So much fun enthusiasm and ability. An amazing bundle of creativity confidence fun and enthusiasm.

This sounds odd but best way to describe her is. Very versital pro model who puts in alot of hard work. But the enthusiasm and keenness as if it's her first ever shoot. Happy to try different poses which can lead to amazing unique images.

Such a joy to work with. Love also the fact that she's a creative and has experience with a camera to be able to imagine it from our side of the lens.

This was my second shoot with Tess and this was quickly rescheduled due to the imminent next Lockdown. The shoot was something I had in mind and felt that Tess would be great for it and it would take her out of her comfort zone and into doing something with a very different look. As usual Tess was up for it and really got into the groove and put her game face on. Time flew by and we nailed some really super shots. Tess is always professional, wants to achieve the best she can and aims to please the photographer and ensure they get the images they want. We have already discussed out next venture but this won't be until the new year. I would throughly recommend Tess and you really should work with her......:)

Tess says she give her all to a shoot and she's not kidding. She comes with a large and varied wardrobe and is 100% dedicated to the shoot from start to finish. Taking direction in her stride and adding her own twist on each pose means she consistently delivers original and interesting shots and you can see the variety that creates in her work in her portfolio.

Enthusiastic and original every time, can't recommend her enough and really hope to work with her again in the future.

Another shoot with Tess, and another awesome shoot with Tess. This time at Art Asylum for her first (I think) studio day.

I wanted to get the softer side of Tess for this shoot, and as always she was spot on with outfit selection, poses, ideas, and suggestions. Tess enthusiasm and positivity is infectious, and it just flows through the whole shoot. Her ability to pose is outstanding. She makes every pose look effortless, and she very rarely repeats a pose, unless you ask her to.

Tess is one of the top models on PP, and Im really waiting to see how much more she can improve, as knowing Tess, she will. Nothing is good enough till its perfect for Tess, and she works so hard to make every image perfect.

Ive shot a lot with Tess over the last 2 months, I think this was our 9th time shooting and I intend to keep shooting with her till she gets bored of me. 100% recommend Tess.

What can I say about the Amazing Tess!

I had a shoot with Tess today at Art Asylum Reloaded and what a brilliant shoot it was. Her posing ability, nature, ideas, outfit choices, energy and attitude are all top class. A genuinely easy and fun person to work with.

Excellent comms too.

A really talented model and all round fab person. Very highly recommended - she will be one of the top models on here very soon.

Wow, what can I say but Tess is an amazing model who is great fun to work with, has lots of ideas and is very keen. I attended the Art Asylum Reloaded Halloween shoot where Tess was in residency on the 22/10/2020. I was shooting video which Tess was keen to do. The results were great and I would definitely highly recommend her. I look forward to the next time we work together to create some offbeat artwork. Thanks :)

A Wonderful First Session with the versatile Tess !

★ Gorgeous, Flawless, Agile and Fearless (climbed a tree for this session).

★ Excellent communication skills prior & during shoot.

★ Truly enjoys posing and knows how to play with the camera.

★ Took initiative and made most of the work look effortless. Making sure I got the shots I was after.

★ Friendly, honest, easy to work with and a very professional model.

I definitely recommend Tess for your next shoot.

I would like to have the chance to work with you again soon.

Merci beaucoup for stepping in and making it look easy!

Five Stars all the way !!!

Had a great shoot with Tess at the weekend. Pre-shoot communications were excellent, so we both had a good idea what types of shot we were aiming for on the day. Tess arrived ready and on time, and throughout the session she was enthusiastic and focused on getting good images, constantly contributing creative ideas. She is really friendly, very professional, and great fun to work with. Highly recommended.

So, Tess and I risked the chilly and potentially wet October weather and arranged to shoot nudes alongside a gathering of ancient and characterful Ents, somewhere deep within the Forest of Dean.

In the event the weather was reasonably kind to us, and we enjoyed spells of sunshine to bask in between overcast spells. Although I'm pretty sure Tess will say 'bask' isn't quite the right word! Nevertheless, Tess coped with the conditions admirably.

This being our first shoot together we started out by discussing our relative approaches to modelling/photography and settled on an overall approach which worked pretty well for us I think, with me trying to spot the best light and Tess providing her creative flair whenever we found it. We settled into our routine pretty quickly which made for a productive yet relaxed and enjoyable shoot.

I think we probably chatted a fair bit, maybe constantly! Tess is really easy to get on with and I imagine she is probably a bit of a chameleon; happy to adapt to the different personalities she encounters.

There was something inevitable about our shoot and I never had any doubts that it would go well, either before or during the shoot itself. It kinda went like clockwork, which I believe must say something about Tess' skill and her approach to modelling. Added to which Tess ticks every box I can think of.

Recommended? For sure, Tess is brilliant to work with.

Another awesome shoot with Tess. This time I was lucky enough to shoot with her at Sanctum, Southampton.

Tess puts so much effort into every shoot she does, and on shoots like this she absolutely excels, both with her preparation before the shoot aswell as during the shoot. She really works hard in the run up to shoots to get it right and she does so in such a manner that you don’t fully appreciate that effort, as she always does it quietly in the background and without fuss. However on the day you know she will always knock it out of the park, which she did again on this shoot.

On the day, Tess arrived on time and was full of enthusiasm and positivity as she always is, this time dancing her way the studio 😊. She retained those levels of enthusiasm and positivity to the very end of a long and tiring day. Im not actually sure how she does it, but she does on every shoot.

Tess is an absolute machine during sets, and makes poses look effortless. Even if she cant hear shutters click, she knows instinctively when to move to the next pose, brought home to me again during the shower part of the shoot where I assumed she knew I taken each shot, but she confirmed she had no idea. I didn’t have a clue until we discussed it afterwards.

Tess works really hard to allow you to get the shot you want, and she is truly only happy if the photographer is happy, and if youre not, she asks really inciteful questions allowing us both to understand whats wrong and how to fix it. Tess has some great ideas and thoughts, and has never led me wrong yet. Every shoot feels more like a collaboration as Tess input is always spot on and inciteful.

Tess is an exceptional and professional model, a truly honest and genuine person and an awesome person to work with. Everyone should work with Tess, you honestly wont be disappointed. I feel truly honoured to have shot with Tess a lot over the last 2 months, and I honestly hope we can work together on some projects we have discussed for the future.

Thank you Tess for being an absolute rock star, and I know youll continue to smash it.

100% recommend Tess to anyone.

Just back from a great shoot with Tess.

Being the first shoot I have done in a few years, I found it really easy to get along with Tess, she had plenty of ideas and was happy to try out ideas and poses of mine.

A great location in an abandoned hotel with plenty of different rooms, locations to take some great edgy shots as well as some smooth classic shots, lots of natural light to be able to shoot any style.

Really looking forward to editing the photos and wouldn't hesitate to recommend Tess to anyone and would def use again.

Another shoot with Tess today, and another brilliant shoot with Tess.

Plans had to change on the fly due to Storm Alex, and Tess was absolutely brilliant in just going with the flow, and a fair number of the sets we shot were her ideas. Every one of them were excellent.

Tess has an awesome eye for a shot, and instinctively understands what shot the photographer is looking for, and genuinely isnt happy until you are.

I first shot with Tess probably 2 months into her modelling career, and even at that point she was of an exceptionally high standard, considering the short time she'd been modelling, but every shoot I have with Tess I notice improvements to the point now she is one of the best models Ive shot, after 5 months of modelling.

Tess is an honest, genuine person with a great sense of humour. Shes also one of the hardest working, and most professional and thoughtful models Ive worked with.

100% recommend Tess, and have countless shoots booked and planned with her in the future.
