The crew parted ways after our shoot at The Palace Square for a much-needed break that seemed to fly by too quickly. Soon we were all joining forces again at Tiffany’s café.  With tired eyes and multiple cappuccinos we began our second shoot day in St. Petersburg with the striking Julia Alekseeva.  Luckily, we soon perked up when we started photographing this Miss Russia contestant. With pale skin,  beautiful black locks, and light eyes she resembled a Russian doll.
