BOTM: The Beguiling Eden Eve From The Land Of Enchantment

Welcome back to our Babe of the Month feature series. This series is designed to highlight women that are involved in the pinup style of modeling in the hot rod car culture. This month we bring you the lovely entrepreneur, Miss Eden Eve.

I was very fortunate to work with Eden for a job I was hired to do in St. George Utah. My good friend, and business client, Steven Anastos of Red Hills Rods and Classics, commissioned me to shoot his latest investment, a beautiful 1940 Mercury.

Having had the great pleasure of working with Steve for several years now, I’ve noticed that he always has the most amazing classics and customs for me to shoot. Steve recently moved his shop to a new location, and he was looking to get promotional shots for his new shop.

As part of the completely new look, Steve decided he wanted to go with a fresh new model and had seen Eden in the most recent issue of Traditional Rod and Kulture. Wanting to help, I contacted Eden to see if she was available to travel for our shoot and to our good fortune, she was!

I’ve been blessed by working in this field for several years and having observed many pinup models, I must say that Eden is one of the most natural models I have had the pleasure of working with. Not only is her personality amazing, but she is a true professional in every facet.

Aside from modeling, Eden is also a professional hair and makeup stylist, and a budding entrepreneur. She opened her own salon in the heart of downtown Las Vegas back in 2014. Owning a business in Vegas and living in Los Angeles means that she does quite a bit of traveling, but loves every aspect of her career.

Eden is looking to expand her portfolio and do more freelance work.  Be sure to head on over to her Instagram page to see more of her work @edeneve. In the meantime, enjoy these photos and her responses to our questionnaire.
