Especially when you know how spectacular the images will be! I don’t know if I’m happier, or more neurotic, because most photographers post preview images on facebook while they finish their final selections and editing.

These images were shot last week, in Newberg, Oregon.

Model: Julie Alexander

Makeup/Hair by myself

Photographer: Tim VanBergen

Julie has such a warm personality, and emanates a sense of serenity when she models. I met her at the AniA Choice Bridal Show, when I styled her hair and makeup, under the direction of Aimee J’Adore.  I’ve been dying to work with her ever since!  Since most of her projects are lifestyle roles, it was exciting to make her over with something more sensual and vibrant.

This look used Urban Decay’s 24/7 eyeshadow pencil in Juju, Urban Decay’s Naked Palette, MAC Honor on her cheeks, with NARS Casino to contour her bone structure, and MAC Cherish on her lips.
