Melissa was thoroughly professional and helpful with ideas and poses when we worked together recently. She easily fulfilled several different styles during the shoot. I sincerely recommend Melissa for your next project.

Had an absolute blast with Melissa. She's truly a gem. Effortless posing and progression between shots. A large selection of outfits to fit the concepts. Down to earth, knows her strengths and how to play to them and very easy to get along with. I can't wait to work with her again. Thank you, you're a star!

Having not shot with Melissa for nearly 5 years, it was awesome to see and shoot with her again. It's nice to see both myself and Mel have become much better in what we do. Her posing is spot on, direction is taken effortlessly and the contribution to ideas for the shoot was great.

I've a feeling we're shooting again... and soon. My clicky box misses her already! :)

I had a shoot with Melissa recently and this was my first professional model based shoot and Melissa was very easy to work with and set my first time nerves at ease.

We couldn't decide on what we wanted so we decided to do everything we could in the time we had and managed to capture some incredible photos.

I would highly recommend Melissa to anyone

I had another smashing shoot with Melissa last weekend. The reason I work with Melissa so much is evident in her photos. She works with me to create the most beautiful images. Images that look amazing in print as well as on screen. I will most definitely continue to work with Melissa and would highly recommend her to any creative team out there.

Thanks Melissa. I'm looking froward to shooting with you again in the near future.

I had the pleasure of working with Melissa last week on a concept levitation shoot.

Melissa is great to work with. Really easy going, moves naturally in front of the camera and very creative.

I would highly recommend working with Melissa on a shoot you won't be disappointed!

Had a brilliant shoot with Melissa. Pre-shoot communications were excellent and she was on time and ready to shoot with perfect hair and make up. We had discussed the shoot style in advance which made it much easier to create the different effects. Melissa poses effortlessly and requires only minimal direction. She was very patient and chatty while setting up the lighting but fully focused and professional once everything was ready. Her energy, enthusiasm and ideas really helped the shoot to flow. I have no hesitation in recommending her to others and look forward to working with her again. Thanks for all your effort and hard work.

I am really happy I had the opportunity to teem up with Melissa again.

Melissa is developing her posing skills beautifully. When direction is needed she works hard to help you get the shot you want.

Iv got to say I really enjoy working with Melissa, She s got a gorgeous personality the relaxes any shoot and the skills to match.

Iv got a feeling 2018 is going to be a big year for Melissa. Get booking lady's and gentlemen.

Melissa see you again in 2018 !

I've wanted to work with Melissa for a while after seeing her portfolio and I was very pleased when the opportunity arrived. Melissa has a great look, very versatile, very strong. She's very professional, good fun, charismatic and refreshing. Every shot I took with Melissa was 5 star.

I had great fun today doing the hair and makeup for Melissa. She was kind enough to let me have a lot of creative freedom with the looks and styles, letting me go to town on a few of them.

Cant wait to shoot again.

I had me second shoot with Melissa on Tuesday.

This time around we worked on Portraiture and with Melissa’s hard work we created some amazing images.

Melissa is a great model to work with. On set she is always full of beans and really fun to be around. She listened to what I wanted out of the shoot and worked hard to help me get the shot.

I am more than happy to recommend Melissa to any photographer out there and I plan to work with her again in the very near future.

Thanks Melissa!

I have just had a fantastic and very productive time working with Melissa this afternoon.

Melissa is very warm hearted and easy to get along with so it goes with out saying that she's a dream to work with.

As a model she takes on board your ideas and works really hard to give you the shot your looking for.

Melissa’s timekeeping was impeccable and the range of outfits she had ready to hand was very impressive.

I’m looking forward to working with Melissa again in the near future. If you are looking for a talented and a very hard working model book Melissa now!

Thanks.

Ste :)

Had my first shoot with Melissa yesterday evening.

Melissa was on time and crucially totally down to earth making it easy to build a rapport so that when we were shooting it flowed well.

So with easy conversation images tend to flow and we worked out way though a small selection of the more than ample clothing selection that Melissa brought with her.

Melissa has a great look for fashion so this is where we concentrated covering a couple of lighting set ups and a range of outfits.

A quick review of the images at the end of the shoot showcases a number of keepers so I'm happy with what we produced.

I can't really think of any other word to describe Melissa and her talent other than...WOW!

Melissa turned up at a make-up collaboration shoot today. She is so relaxed, cool and down to earth. Her style is fantastic and she really enjoys being in front of the camera.

Her technicality is perfect, she moves from one shot to the next before you even have chance to ask her to do something...I swear she can read minds! She takes every shot seriously, but knows how to have a laugh and a joke as well, very easy to work with and created totally AMAZING shots.

As a photographer I would recommend Melissa to any one looking for a model who is both aesthetically and technically beautiful. Everything about Melissa screams professional model and her attitude towards her work is beyond brilliant.

Really loved working with Melissa today, and hope to get the chance to work with her again in the near future.

Worked with Melissa for the first time today, she was such a lovely person, down to earth and friendly.

She came well prepared with a bag filled with clothes to try, or as she put it her "whole wardrobe", we had a great selection of outfits to choose from.

She arrived on time (despite travelling for over 2 hours from Leeds to Liverpool) and was highly professional during the shoot.

She was a natural in front of the camera and gave a wide range of poses - her face was a dream to work on as she has perfect skin and great shaped eyes for a smokey eye look.

The raw images I have seen from the shoot look amazing and there are so many I'm in love with!

I would highly recommend Melissa, she was a pleasure to work with and I look forward to working with her again in the future x

What an absolute star! (really, you don't need to read any further - just book her!)

Modelling aside, you couldn't hope to find a more down to earth, affable, willing person. Absolute pleasure to shoot with Melissa today - no, she wasn't on time.... she rang & told me she had taken extra time for the shoot & was coming earlier so we had more time! Un-heard of.

& I still over-ran - not a single complaint. Not one all day despite me asking for the moon on a plate!

Technically Melissa is excellent - confident, understanding, willing, & gives her all both mentally & physically to the shot. &, dunno how, but it all seems to come so naturally to her - nothing seemed forced, fake or fatuous. Hair & make up done to a high standard, wardrobe arrived as discussed + a few extras that she'd thought of...

What else can I say other than if you book 'the Pacey' you'll get a professional but fun, reliable, entertaining super star who'll bring both beauty & personality to your shoot.

Still not convinced? Read Andy Wright's, CI's, Ricky R's, etc. references - seems MOST of us think Mel's brilliant - The one dissenter seems to whining about post-shoot BS & behaving, IMO, very unprofessionally. Couldn't disagree with his perspective more but will happily send him the petrol money he seems so concerned about. Pfft!

Mel is one of these little gems you come across once in a while that makes the job worthwhile.

Punctual, daft as a brush, drinks almost as much redbull as me (kudos) but more importantly follows direction extremely well when needed (all down to experience so nothing major there).

As a new model, her experience will only grow as will her posing capabilities, but once you let her go in front of the camera on her own, you'll have no problems shooting - at.all. She actually makes the job very easy indeed once she realises she can actually"be" a model :).

I fully intend to be working with Mel in the very near future and regularly both abroad and within the next few months on a number of projects I have planned.

What she doesn't realise is, is that she has a lot of skills and confidence hidden away that she hasn't found yet. Once she does and with the right guidance, advice and experience from the right photographers, this girl could make some serious waves, should she wish to.

Definitely recommend working with her... She be cool as a cucumber (walks too fast for me though) :) x
