About Me



<<< UPDATE MARCH 2024 >>> I’m sorry to say it but after 20 amazing years.. I’m no longer modeling, hosting events, or traveling full time. My verified Instagram page was suddenly deleted in June 2023 at 130k and I spent 6 weeks trying to get my page back with no luck, so I decided to switch gears and chose a different career and I am really enjoying it! I had a wonderful run and I really would like to thank everyone who I had the pleasure of working with over many incredible years. <3 

I’m only considering very selective local photoshoots in South Florida, primarily with people who I have enjoyed working with before, for commercial work or personal portfolio building only.

My beautiful home studio in Fort Lauderdale is still available to rent for photoshoots if we have worked together in the past.

I don’t check this site anymore so please shoot me an email for an inquiry - [email protected]

xoxo,
Melissa


-STUDIO-

I have a gorgeous natural light home studio location available in Fort Lauderdale. It's a very urban penthouse vibe with floor to ceiling windows and a huge wrap around balcony, and amazing light! Message me for the link to see more photos of my studio. If we have worked together before, you may rent my studio and bring your own models here for a reasonable fee.






-MEETUP GROUP-

I'm now hosting world-class Meetup events in South Florida where you can network and build your portfolio with top published models in fabulous locations! Out of state photographers welcome! Please join our private group on Meetup if you're interested in attending our exclusive events!

July 2021 - Model Mayhem Interview

Legendary Poses by Arny Freytag - Vol. 1 & 2

It was such an amazing honor to be chosen to shoot this book with Playboy's legendary photographer, Arny Freytag. Arny has shot the most Playboy centerfolds in the history of the magazine and worked exclusively for them for 36 years. This comprehensive guide to classic glamour poses was being offered for $100 for a miniature version, and $500 for a deluxe 2 book set. Both printed on the highest quality of monochromatic paper and is absolutely gorgeous in person. I'm sorry to say that neither option is no longer available for purchase. If you happened to get one it really is a collector's item now! But the good news is that I have all of these poses in my memory, and now many more from my past 10 years experience in front of the camera.


My cover of Playboy's Nudes - April 2009  and my cover of Playboy France - December 2010


If you'd like a personally signed copy of one of my magazines, I still have a few copies of my Playboy Special Editions!  just send me an email - [email protected]
