Melissa

Hello everyone, my name is Melissa and I am a professional Model/Actress/Dancer. I always show up to set on time and camera ready. I am not camera shy in any way what so ever, although I will not do anything past my limitations listed below. I come more than prepared to every shoot and need little or no direction during the shoot, however I do take direction and criticism very well when given. I am a quick learner, eager, outgoing and adventurous. I am very versatile, I can go from the sexy seductress look to the wholesome girl next door look. I am easy to work with and willing to work hard to do whatever it takes to get the job done. I am able to pose myself and I am very creative. I come up with my own ideas for shoots and feel that this adds more to the shoot between photographer and model. Any idea or job you may wish to execute will never be to large to work on. I take my career extremely serious and I am a complete professional when it comes to modeling, acting, etc. I feed off the camera and feel that I would be an asset to any photo shoot, film, commercial, music video, etc.

Although I do model professionally, and love to model; my ultimate goal is to become a sucessful actress. I do have experience on several Hollywood movie sets so far. I am willing to work my hardest and do whatever it takes to reach my goals. I am a quick learner, hard worker, take direction very well,and always perform my best. I am used to working odd hours as I was a Paramedic for years. So early/late call times and long hours on set are not a problem at all for me. I am very dependable and dedicated to what I do. I also have background in television doing commercials, music videos and hosting as well as print, advertising, and much more. My partial resume is available in full below.

I am also interested in doing more music videos, I have an extensive background in dance (high school dance team and college dance team, plus prior experience in dance). I was awarded a scholarship to college for dance. I feed off the camera and bring a certain energy to every set that I feel would be an asset to any music video since I am so passionate about music itself. I have completed 1 music video to date that is airing on BET presently. I am very passionate about music itself and I do feel this would also be a certain asset I could bring to any music video.

I will consider EVERY assignment. I will not, however do ANY type of pornography, casting couch, etc. so don't waste my time or yours by asking because I will NOT respond. Thank you so much for your understanding and respect.

Anything that I have ever put my mind to doing or wanted to do in my life,I have always acheived my goal, many a time coming out on top. My full Resume and References can be available upon request; but here are a just a few things that I have accomplished so far in my short life:

"BOOK THIS MODEL!! Melissa is obviously a beautiful girl. More than that Melissa is a professional who is full of energy and very versatile. She can execute any idea a photographer has for a shoot. In addition she is creative and freely shares her own ideas. This combination is inspiring and has led to some of my best work. I rarely hire a model and usually shoot TFP only. I have hired Melissa not just once but twice. I will hire her again. Melissa is a rare find!" - Lewis #20078

"I've had the pleasure of shooting Melissa several times and have more sessions planned. She is a true professional and an artist in her own right. She feeds off the camera, adding energy to the shoot. More than simply prepared, she comes to a shoot with ideas of her own that will both compliment the original plan and add totally new dimensions. She is
a versatile model, able to achieve expressions from sultry, sexy looks for the pages of Playboy to wholesome or professional looks for business or product endorsement. Melissa has a special energy that can't help but show through in your images. She's a career maker."
