Professional Model Julie from Arizona

Presenting to you professional model Julie from Arizona photographed by Michael Meltser Photography in San Francisco CA.

GMM: So tell us a bit about yourself:

My name is Julie and I am a full time professional model.

Tell us about your modeling career?

I have been modeling for over 8 years. I am most well known for glamour modeling, but shoot all genres. I absolutely love being in front of the camera. Creating beautiful images is my absolute passion.

Where do you want your career to be in two years?

In two years I see myself on the small screen. I am already making the transition to television and I am loving every minute of it!

What are some of your hidden talents other than modeling?

Most people do not know that I have played the violin since age 9. Playing music is something that really works my brain and is another creative outlet for me.

Take us through your getting ready to model routine?

Oh boy! There is so much that goes into a getting ready routine. Not only is it daily consideration for exercise and eating healthy, but the day of is a couple of hours to be camera ready. A big part of being good at my job is my mental preparedness. Feeling good, confident and “on” is essential for any shoot.

What is the best info you can give a new model?

For new models I always encourage them to press forward no matter what people tell them they can and cannot do. I can’t even begin to count the amount of times people have told me I can’t do it!

As a model, what would you say has been your biggest obstacle?

The biggest obstacle that I have faced over the years are the “nay-sayers”. I have always believed in myself, but any model has to be able to convey that to others, especially when you don’t fit the runway model mold.

If you had to walk way form modeling today, what memory would you take from it?

If I walked away from modeling now, I would take incredible friendships with me. I have been lucky to meet amazing people, whom many I consider close friends.

If you did walk away, how would you like to be remembered?

If I walked away now, I would want to be looked up to by other models who didn’t fit the mold as an inspiration that you can do whatever you set your mind to.
