New model Lindsey C (MM 2804537) for your consideration. While this wasn't her first shoot, it's darn close. I've rarely come across anyone so photogenic. Hair and makeup by model.
I would like to introduce 18-yr old Nouvelle Decouverte as my entry in this week's contest (www.modelmayhem.com/2797974). Nou is a college freshman who came over from Nashville to shoot with me, only the second time she's worked with a professional photographer. She's a very determined young woman who's passionate about modeling, and hopes to continue modeling to help out with college expenses. Red hair, green eyes and tons of energy! Enjoy.
In behalf of Nou thank you for your continued support. Best regards, MPT

This week I am proud to present to the beautiful Brittany... Mayhem #2417460
She is a pleasure to work with. Up for anything and deals well with directions. With her country girl swag and big city lifestyle she should make it far here..
Hello! My name is Elroy and this is my very first submission to the Newbie Model of the Week Contest. I would like to introduce Cameryn Deborah MM# 2595402. She is an aspiring model like many, with a give-it-all attitude. Shooting this series in the city was a big challenge which she handled very well as soon as she overcame the anxiety of being the center of attention.
I hope you enjoy the work we put together. All images were shot using natural light.
In behalf of Nou, I want to thank all the members of the Top Drawer who voted for her this week. She's truly a lovely young woman and deserving of the recognition you're given her. Thanks again to all of you for your continued support.
Thanks for the votes for newbie model of the week! No major speech here, for Mike spoke on behalf - thanks my muse! Needless to say, much love to you all xx

I am very excited to re-enter 19-yr old Liz Meade (www.modelmayhem.com/2508392) as my entry in this week's contest. Liz has shot with me on two occasions, and is one of the most gifted and versatile young women I've ever worked with. She's expressive, can pose beautifully, and uses her years of ballet to help project a sense of poise, grace and sensuality in every image she creates. Enjoy.
On behalf of Liz, thank you for considering this lovely young woman as you cast your vote this week. Best regards,
Daniel Chase

I've been a little out of touch, but here is a submission for New Model of the week.
This was from Kyla's first photo shoot. We have more planned in a nice toasty warm studio, but I couldn't wait to share. She is very outgoing and open to direction while still a little shy and is interested in many styles of modelling.
Ladies and Gentleman of the Top Drawer, it is my pleasure to nominate Natasha Bell as my entry this week. While she has been a member for a while, she took over a year hiatus for a pregnancy and is just now working her way back into it. Each time we've shot she's impressed me with her agency stats (including height), her flawless complexion, her creativity and her attitude. Thank you for your consideration.
I would like to introduce a wondeful young model. Angela Brown. She is new to the scene but brings a great attitude and great disposition. She brings with her formal dance training which comes across gracefully on camera. She'll be a great addition to the Model Mayhem community. Good luck Angela..!!

Patrick, is Angela a member of MM? If so please help her with some publicity and help me in building a composite for her.
I'm running late so will include her in next week's contest after you confirm her membership.
