The last girl I have slated for my citygirls series (at least until I have more time later) was Julie.  An aspiring casting director, she currently freelances for music videos and what not.  Here’s what we got.

I shot Aleece last night (or early morning depending on your lifestyle).  She rocked this black dress that looked amazing in the photos.

Tonight I shot Jody, My, and My’s friend Mikela.  Mikela isn’t a model, but is visiting from Italy.  I had to get a shot of her.
