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!

Melissa came highly recommended by Studio Blanco and now she comes highly recommended by me too! Pre-shoot communications were great, she was relaxed when I had to re-arrange, and she was a complete joy to work with in the studio. Very easy to work with, a fantastic figure, and the expression she got into the poses was brilliant. Really looking forward to next time!

What's left to be said other than that I just had yet another successful shoot with Melissa!

A fantastic sense of how to do her job, a great sense of humour, a total commitment to ensuring that I got the results I wanted, and a boyfriend who is more than willing to help with lights, reflectors, adjusting items, and even knows the best locations.

Top marks to both of them!

Just finished an excellent half day shoot with Melissa! What could be better ,a beautiful warm spring day, a lovely model and a stunning location. It is the first time I have worked with Melissa and she is a joy to work with. She has lovely poses and works very hard, interpreting all the ideas you give her.

If you haven't shot with her I would thoroughly recommend her and I am looking forward to processing my images from todays shoot.

Thank you Melissa ,hope to see you again soon

I can add very little to others comments. Melissa is a joy to work with: We talked a bit before the shoot and I knew immediately that it was going to be a success. On the day, despite it being cold and a bit windy she was a consummate professional. Not only that she is great fun to work with: a lot of laughs and giggling and as a result we captured together great shots. I cannot recommend Melissa highly enough. Please leave space for me to work with her again....

She is a model i would love to work again and again, and again. I would never been tired. Melissa does lots of facial expressions so easily. Warm personality, lovely. It was a pleasure to work with her. She has a good sense of humour. Lots of patience, Even though it was cold during the shoot, you would never of thought so, due to Melissa's profesionalism.

Mel put out a late casting call to shoot some fashion/casual shots on location, and I have to say it was a real pleasure to work with such a professional. Her comms were great, and she was so relaxed and comfortable in front of the camera.

Within minutes of starting it was like working with someone I had known for a very long time, and the next three hours seemed to glide past, with ideas just flowing between us. Mel is responsive to direction, yet takes to a pose without effort. It was almost poetic watching her move from one pose to another. It was the perfect shoot, and without question we will be working together again. Highly recommended!

I had a short but excellent shoot with Mel yesterday. She is a professional model in every sense and an absolute natural in front of the camera. Given a brief she can pose with little direction. We have already arranged our next shoot. My only regret is I haven't photographed her before! Thanks again Mel x

For me, Mel is the prefect model to collaborate with ... great personality, easy to talk to, great to discuss ideas with ... *and* she photographs really well!

Perfect :)

Organised and participated in a group shoot with Mel & her partner PJ. I was worried whether the 3 hour shoot I had booked was too long but I had no need to worry. She and PJ had a great number of poses and the 3 hours flew by. I had worked with Mel on her own before and it was a great experience & now highly recommend PJ and Mel as a couple too

Had an excellent shoot with Melissa and her partner PJ yesterday. They are friendly and professional, especially Melissa managed to create lots of creative and artistic poses for both herself and PJ. Time flew by and we got some great pictures from the session. Looking forward to work with them again soon!

Had a very good shoot with Mel and her partner, PJ, today. The shoot went very well and I was very pleased with the ease with which they interpreted my vision. Mel and PJ work so well together and make it so easy to nail down wonderful images. I initially set out to do four specific images but they delivered so much more.

Highly recommended!

Had a 4 hour shoot with Mel today - and the time just flew by. Great communications & though she had car problems arrived on time and ready to work. Thoroughly professional, instinctive realisation of what I wanted to achieve, great poses and above all a joy to work with. Friendly ,chatty, patient.

I've already arranged 2 further shoots with her I'm looking forward to.

Thoroughly recommended

I had my fifth shoot in less than a year with Mel yesterday: that in itself is a wholly deserved recommendation.Mel is simply superb: lithe, knows oodles of poses that suit her long limbs, has some interesting props and beautiful clothes and jewellry, is a delight to chat with and shoot. Brilliant results guaranteed. I cannot recommend her highly enough, actually I think I'd better not recommend her at all because that will restrict the number of future shoots that we can do: though we have pencilled in another three shoots.

Had the pleasure to work with Mel on a lingerie shoot in a boutique hotel and she excelled in every dept...professoinal, able to both take direction and self direct, great energy, enthusiasm, grace and artistic nous. Mel has a great figure and varied wardrobe. i'm looking forward to working with her again and encourage everyone to book her...you won't be disappointed!
