About Me
I know it's long, but please read my profile. It should cover most potential questions you may have about working with me. Thanks!
ABOUT I am a professional traveling model with over 10 years of experience in a wide variety of genres. I love the creative process, the controlled chaos of every shoot and the beautiful moments that are captured as the result of the interactions between artists and their environment. I believe art has the power to touch deeply and to heal, both for its creators and for its audience. I approach each shoot as an opportunity to discover something about myself, another person, or the world, and to express these as emotions through the art of posing. I love working with photographers of all skill and experience levels! I enjoy being an active part of the planning process, but am also happy to take direction if you have a specific concept in mind. (And don't let my morose moniker fool you - I'm often caught smiling in the wild, as photos will attest.) CURRENT LOOK I currently have bangs and a shaggy cut that reaches my upper back, with ear cutouts. My profile picture is fairly representative of the current style. I have a full bush which I am not willing to shave. I shave my underarms and legs for shoots while on tour, but let my body hair grow when I am at home. If you have a specific concept that requires body hair, let me know and I'll see if I can make arrangements for that. I have a tattoo on my left bicep and a few other very small tattoos that I can easily pose around or can cover with makeup if desired (just let me know if that's something you'd like beforehand so I can be prepared as it takes a little extra time). BOOKING I'm only available for paid work at this time, with the exception of very limited trade (for hosting, travel expenses, really amazing wardrobe, camera equipment or something of similar value to me). This is my full time job and I treat it as such. If you're interested in booking a shoot, please send me a message! I have a 2 hour minimum for bookings. I'm based out of Norfolk, VA but travel frequently to other areas. Please check out my travel dates below to see if I am coming to your area. TRAVEL SCHEDULE APRIL 26 - 29: Baltimore, MD 30: Frederick, MD MAY 1: Richmond, VA 29 - 31: San Diego, CA JUNE 1: San Diego, CA 2 - 5: Los Angeles, CA 5 - 8: San Francisco / San Jose, CA 9 - 10: Denver, CO 29 - 30: Richmond, VA JULY North Carolina, western VA AUGUST 9 - 12: Boston, MA Upstate NY -- When not traveling I am available for shoots locally in the Hampton Roads, VA area. I have a small home studio available for use if desired. Contact me if you'd like me to travel to your area! I am open to full or partial trade for travel expenses and/or a place to stay while I'm in town. CANCELLATION POLICY When you book with me, you are agreeing to my cancellation policy. Cancellation within 7 days: 25% of agreed rate Cancellation within 4 days: 50% of agreed rate Cancellation within 48 hours: 100% of agreed rate Thanks for understanding. This is my full time job and my rates cover travel expenses, food, wardrobe, and pay my bills so I can continue doing what I love to do. I'm excited to create with you! OTHER NOTES: I have a chronic health condition (POTS). I have my symptoms well managed and 99% of the time this does not impact my ability to shoot, but I may need occasional breaks to take my medicine, drink water, eat a snack, or warm up/cool down if we are shooting in very cold or hot conditions as I am quite temperature sensitive. I travel with my partner/assistant who helps me manage this condition, as well as assisting with a variety of other things (wardrobe, hair/makeup, carrying gear, etc.). He is also available to help you with anything you might need--carrying gear, adjusting lights/backdrops/etc., keeping watch if we are shooting outdoors, whatever the shoot requires. He is professional and his presence has never interfered with a shoot; many photographers have found his presence to be extremely helpful and I am happy to provide references if requested. When not needed he will stay out of the way. He is also available to pose, either individually or with me, and you can view his MM profile at modelmayhem.com/despondent I am happy to host traveling models when I am in town, I have a futon and a comfy air mattress! I am also available for model coaching for models wishing to develop their skills in posing, booking, and safety.

Share your experience and become verified! Add Credits"Melancholic is an absolute pleasure to work with. I sent her a very loosely woven moodboard prior to our shoot and she picked up on my concept quickly and seamlessly. During our shoot, I barely gave a direction as far as posing, location, or positioning. I'm in the final stages of editing our highly collaborative shots and am anxious for her to see them. Her assistant is also terrific. He helped with lighting, lugging, and laughing. We had fun and the images reflect that. I give Melancholic my very highest recommendation. She's one of a kind,,,terrific!" Read less

""Melancholic" is a misnomer for this model. At least from the perspective of a photographer working with her. She is beautiful, professional, expressive, and very experienced. Whatever level you're at, she'll make you better! If you have a problem with this model, look in the mirror because the problem is you. You could set your camera to continuous shooting and auto-focus -- and come back 30 minutes later to 100+ great images. She will collaborate if that's what you want, or can equally follow your directions seamlessly. Do yourself a favor and just book a half- or full-day. A total joy to work with! Can't wait until the next time! Thanks, MM." Read less
