Melissa and I had a really enjoyable shoot. It was the first time we had met and it was great to work with a model who quickly understood that I was looking for in body shape and expression. I would certainly recommend her, she brings the easy confidence of an experienced model, takes direction easily and was very helpful during the adjustments to lighting and staging which helped ensure we got the best out of the shoot. Thank you Mel!! xx

Melissa was a fantastic figure nude model, posing effortlessly throughout the day. She is highly recommended. Communication was first class and I will definitely book her again.

Having the chance to tour Ireland with Melissa was a real pleasure for me!

If it weren't for her planning, attention to detail and superb organisation skills I wouldn't have been able to do it all. When I did get the chance to model alongside her I was in awe of her incredible posing abilities and just how hard she works to achieve the perfect picture. She has a fantastic figure, good features and has a very elegant style. She contributes plenty of ideas of her own but is also open minded and takes on board suggestions from whoever she is working him. Aside from shooting she is great fun to be around, with an excellent sense of humour and a lovely personality.

I would most highly recommend her to anybody!

Thank you Mel :-)

This is an amazing young lady. I collected her at 7.15am in the morning to travel 2 hours by car for an all day shoot. She had already been on two trains after leaving her house at 5.10am to catch the first. This is the total commitment you get from Melissa. She has a great attitude of " I need to be there at that time how do I achieve that ". It goes without saying that her modeling abilities are about the best you can expect. Outfits to compliment the rooms we were shooting in. Poses that just made you sit back as say "wow". She has a real excitement about what she does. Worked tirelessly throughout the day and I doubt she would not have stopped had it not been for my requirement for coffee. This was my second time with Melissa and the images are even better than before. A real pleasure to shoot and I cant wait to do it all again. My highest recommendation.

I had the pleasure of working along side Mellissa in a large group shoot in Maunsel House on Wednesday. She has the most fantastic body I think I have ever seen, tall elegant and beautiful. She looks exactly like she does in her pictures as she does in person, so little editing for you Togs :)

Really chatty lovely girl and committed professional model.

Highly recommended

Had a great morning with Mel - she posted a location shoot roving around near her home. She had scoped out all of the locations, brought and carried a good selection of outfits. Very well organized - she even sent me details on how to avoid the traffic!

A thoroughly enjoyable shoot with a well organised model who knows how to get good images.

Definitely recommended!

Another superb shoot with this lovely young woman. Totally reliable and adaptable.

I've worked with Melissa on a couple of book cover photo-shoots I was commissioned for, and honestly can't sing her praise enough. Melissa is an extremely professional model, and 100% dedicated to getting the shot that's required. The publisher of the first 'Zenn Scarlett' title I shot with Melissa was so enthralled with the results, they insisted I also use her for the follow-up book in the series!

Hard working, absolutely dedicated and very professional - I can't recommend Melissa highly enough.

Had a great shoot with Mel. She is the ultimate for shapes. Great body and such a good understanding of how to move it and what the lighting will be doing - a true professional.

Had a really good session with Mel last week. I was very impressed and will look forward to organising a further shoot in the near future. Thank you.

Shot with Melissa today and it was really fun and productive. We did all the lighting set-ups I wanted to cover and she put in 100% effort and enthusiasm into all the poses we did giving great results.

I highly recommend her.

I was so impressed with Melissa when I shot her in the UK a few months ago that I was very pleased when she replied to my recent casting for a model to spend a few days shooting fashion nudes in Portugal. I wasn't disappointed and once again Mel delivered 110% every minute she was in front of the camera despite the baking heat and the rigours of having to spend 3 days in my company! I couldn't have wished for a more charming and enthusiastic model and the time just flew by. Once again, highly recommended!

Melissa stayed with me in Portugal for three days. During these days she showed an unlimited amount of poses in the studio as well as outside. Melissa is a lovely model and easy to go on with. Very dedicated to her job and easy to guide, she needs a minimum of guidance.

If you want a pleasant shoot with a maximum result I can highly recommend Melissa, she will not disappoint you.

This was my second shoot with Melissa and definitely will not be the last. Our first was a wedding dress theme: this was an Avengers good vs bad theme. Melissa, as before put her all into it, sourcing and providing what looked like an incredibly uncomfortable PVC catsuit, which she wore without complaint despite some pretty contorted poses. Melissa is a natural 'poser', take direction extremely well and is an absolute joy to work with .Highly recommended

Finally got to meet Melissa today after extensive chats on facebook! She is a dream to work with. She really gets herself in to the role and persona of the story we created. She is so down to earth and genuine and you can always have a good laugh with her!

She is one fantastic model as well! She creates the perfect looks for the images even being in a PVC catsuit that almost made her immobile! Would definitely recommend and would love to work with her again. :)

Not sure what to add to these amazing references. I had a brilliant shoot with Mel. So professional, really helped with the lighting. Adjusted reflectors when the sun had moved, changing her pose, to get the best effects. She has a body and a personality that are both awesome. Toned and tall. Amazing features, some of the longest legs I have ever seen. But Mel is so down to earth. She is working with you to get the best images possible. She has to be one of the nicest models I have shot. I loved working her and cant wait to do it all again. If you ever get the chance to shoot with her grab it with both hands. Thank you Mel.

Yet another shoot with the fabulous Melissa, and yet another superb set of results. Melissa moves effortlessly from one look to another, conveying exactly the mood that I have in my mind, and is as full of energy and commitment for the last shot as for the first.

And is wonderful company in between sets, too - as is her partner, who very kindly did reflector duty for us.

Melissa turned up on time and did a professional shoot. She is beautiful lithe lady who poses very easily. Mel has a bubbly personality and will make you smile to work with her while still professional.

I would highly recommend working with her as I sure she will improve any portfolio or shoot. If you get a chance and she isn't booked by me or someone else who knows her talent!

Had an awesome shoot today with Melissa. She was able to change the date due to our previous one being rained out. She called me to say she was free an hour earlier than originally planned, which was great as it was going to rain later today. Anyway, Melissa showed up in good time and I explained the purpose of what I was doing and why I was doing it. She was very receptive and open to my ideas and even suggested some of her own ideas which was welcomed. And what a trooper she is. By the time I started sorting the last setup (which she helped me set up), it was raining quite hard. All that she was wearing for the photo was a small set of shredded shorts but not once did she complain about the dropping temperature or wet conditions. Melissa is a friendly model and very professional. She has a great look that is extremely photogenic. She is able to take direction and also self directs very well. Having worked with her today, I can understand why she is so in demand. I can't wait to shoot with her again. If you haven't worked with Melissa yet....go for it!

Had a great shoot with Melissa recently and was blown away by her stunning physique, dynamic posing, passion, inventiveness and willingness and ability to respond to direction. A charming person, sweet and chatty but very professional and well organised. Can't wait to get her in front of my camera again. Highly recommended!
