So a couple of weeks ago, a friend of mine sends me an email which basically says, “Hey, Julie, I’ve got to go to a photo shoot in Chicago and I’ve got some ideas I want to mess around with… mind if I experiment with you?”
“What kind of ideas?” I asked.
She then went on to explain that she planned on fashioning a red ball gown out of some dollar store plastic tablecloths, some twine and some blue crepe streamers. She figured if she threw in some make up, shoes and a set of false eyelashes, she’d be good to go.
What I heard: “Hey, Julie, let’s do a photo shoot for Jenny’s Traveling Red Dress series.”
What follows are a selection of shots from that day. I thought I was helping a friend. Turns out, she gave me the greatest gift possible. For one whole day, I felt positively beautiful.
Thank you, Eva.

It was so, so much fun.
You’ve got a career as a model, girl!!! GORGEOUS!!!
Wow, what fun! I love that last photo.

I smiled my ASS OFF reading this entire post. You look gorgeous.
Thanks, Jonna. I wanna see yours!
Hot stuff!
Julie, never doubt you are beautiful, inside and out!!!

Thanks, Alex. And HI!
OMG you are so pretty, and you look so young ! Not that you are old but I am realising that I am probably older than you and you are so much more savy… I didn’t realise that before… snif snif on me !
I’m 40. I’ll take anything younger than that as a compliment.
So, so pretty! Must have been fun.
