Melissa was “discovered” at the age of four when her family’s Christmas card photo was seen at the home of a friend by a children’s agent. She modeled a bit for The Right Start Catalog, then took a break until middle school, going back to work for TAG Models under contract with Abrams Artists in Los Angeles. She did a little still photography work, and some film, but didn’t enjoy the commute from Ventura County, or the tedious audition process, so chose to stop and concentrate on her schoolwork and ballet during her high school years. Now beginning college, I encouraged her to be photographed, and it is evident she enjoyed being in front of the camera again. Who knows? It might be a way to pay for her education!
