Hi there,
My real name is Melissa but I love the name EmMe..I think she is my alter ego.
I am a blunt, sassy Latin girl who although will be extremely professional when I need to be, I have no problem speaking my mind and I expect the same in return..I am NOT offended easily and need all of the help I can get in this industry!
I am a quick learner and take direction well. I don't have a lot of modeling experience but I am looking to further my career in modeling and acting and prove that a girl who is 5'3" can work it just as well as any 5'8" model/actress! I am looking to gain as much experience as possible and am up for a challenge any day.
I love the classic look as well as the retro modern look and am hoping to do some pin-up shoots in the very near future. I love high fashion shots but also love the off the wall crazy idea that beauty isn't always perfectly captured by clean beauty shot...Some of my favorite shots are the shots where the Model's hair is a mess, MU runny or none at all...and they still look beautiful!
I love being goofy and having fun on a shoot but also have the ability to focus and be serious when needed.
I am looking to build up my portfolio and look forward to meeting many new people, BUT, I am not looking to shoot any nude pics.
Message me if you are interested in challenging me...the weekends are free for me so keep me in mind for your last minute shoot. I look forward to talking with you!
