Having waited nearly 2 years to shoot together, Merissa and photographer Chad Jason of Risqé Factor finally connected for a shoot for SMOOTH Magazine's model search for a calendar they were producing. SMOOTH initially wanted the models to fly to NY to shoot, but was convinced by Chad to let him conduct a shoot in California with LA based models for their search.
Unfortunately, SMOOTH never used the images, concluding their model search after 2 months and never producing the calendar, but Merissa and Chad remained friends and kept in touch, leading her to do the first shoot for MAXX.
Merissa is not only one of the most breathtaking women ever shot for MAXX, but is a delight to work with and takes on every shoot with excitement and vigor.
We wish her the best of luck and hope to see her gracing the pages of popular men's magazines in the near future!
