New Model - Jade

Jade
 I contacted Jade on Instagram on a whim. I just liked her look and the images posted on her profile. To my surprise (because of my prior luck with IG models), she responded immediately and we set a date to shoot within the week. I messaged her on the 9th and we were shooting on the 15th. 

She let me know she would be bringing an escort with her, and I let her know that I had no issue with that. I've never really had a problem with escorts. Usually I can put them to work holding reflectors, which is a big help, or bringing me props. 

Sparkly Girl
Only on a couple of occasions have I had an escort interfere with a shoot. The first time was a female friend of the model who thought she knew better than me how to run a shoot––that ended quickly along with the shoot. The other time wasn't the escorts fault, but rather the model's as she kept using part of our shooting time to show the outfits off to her boyfriend.

That wasn't the case with Jade's friend. He helped with the reflector, but otherwise stayed out of my way and let Jade and me do our thing. 

Amira Chains
Once again, I chose the area around the Sauvie Spaceship for my shoot. I know, I know, I shoot there a lot, but the spot has a lot going for it. It's fairly close to one of the entrance gates. Most of the time, you can count on a wide area of beach, and the woods surrounding the spaceship offer a different backdrop from the water and sand. Then there's the spaceship itself, all covered in colorful graffiti art which changes constantly.

Jade worked out great for the shoot I had planned. She has the look of a blonde bombshell and posed like one too. She could be both seductive or innocent depending on the outfit. She seemed to really enjoy the shoot, and we managed to get a great many poses and costumes done before we had to wrap up the shoot. I'm hoping to shoot again with her in the near future. I think she'd be perfect for a Christmas pinup.
