Sunday's Shoot - Olivia

Image
For the entire spring and summer I have been after Olivia to schedule some shoot time with me. When I tossed out the idea for us to go to Cape May, NJ several months ago, she was all for it. We set the date for a Sunday in July, but had something come up, so we ended up rescheduling to Sunday, August 25. Well, August 25 was yesterday and Olivia and I were able to meet up this time and got in three sets - all in very scenic locations. Our day began around 7 a.m. and after a quick stop for breakfast we were on our way. I wanted to get to Cape May around 10 a.m. so we wouldn't be rushed. I also wanted to make use of the best sun light possible.  When we pulled into the parking lot at Cape May Point State Park, I was very happy to see most of the parking lot was empty. Being a tourist heavy location, I was hoping that we wouldn't be surrounded by hundreds of people. This was also a factor in me wanting to arrive early. One thing I've learned over the last few years with

Monday's Shoot - Abby

Image
The last two days of photography had an interesting dichotomy when it came to foot fetish pictures. Yesterday saw the introduction of the site's newest model, Ashlyn . And today's shoot was with the model who first posed in front of my old 35mm years ago, Abby . When I realized this whole rookie/veteran aspect I tweeted ( @SolesofSilk ):  "Had a great day yesterday with my newest model Ashlyn . Today I get to have another great day with my original model, Abby !" Today was also the first time this year I've been able to shoot with Abby . The set theme, however, was promised to her over a year ago. Each year I do a Ravens themed set and around the time I shot Olivia's Fantasy Football set ( Sample 01 / Sample 02 ) last summer, Abby expressed a desire to do one. I told it was hers if she wanted it and she reserved it right then. The day started off with me running out to a sports memorabilia store to pick up a few extra items for the shoot. Our origin

Sunday's Shoot - Ashlyn (New Model)

Image
When I woke up on Sunday I was very excited. I was set to shoot with a new model - one with a different look than most of the girls you'll find on Soles of Silk . "Punky" might be the best term I could use to describe her, but I'm not even sure if that is accurate. Whatever the term, this new model, whose name is Ashlyn , certainly has a style all her own. But before I give the details of the day's happenings, a little back story is in order. Some time ago I was at work when this girl with bright red hair came in. She made me do a double take. I found her to be really cute and ended up telling one of my coworkers. He informed me that she's the older sister of one of our younger coworkers. I left it at that since our coworker is young and I didn't want to ask him to introduce put me to his sister. I thought it might be better not to bring that up at work. Months go by and late one evening at work I'm talking with Ryan during some downtime. I mentio

Soles of Silk F.A.Q. - Customs & Personal Items

Image
In this entry to the Frequently Asked Question (F.A.Q.) blog series, I'm going to answer two questions I've been getting regularly since the site opened in the final week of 2004. Both are something a lot of sites do, but Soles of Silk does not. Below I'm going to explain why. Frequently Asked Question: Do you take orders for custom clips/sets? While I always take recommendations for ideas and themes for sets, I do not accept money to shoot either customized sets or clips for anyone. I've heard there is good money involved in custom orders, but with the frequency that I shoot most of my models, I would never feel right taking someone's money and not having the product done in a timely manner. Many of the models on the site only shoot several times a year and we do a handful of sets each time we meet. Working a regular full time job, I don't have the ability to schedule shoots except for a few days a week. Even then, I also have other things in life g

Soles of Silk F.A.Q. - How/When Sets are Posted

Image
It is time to start yet another little series on the site's blog. In attempts to try and answer some of the more popular questions that I'm often asked, I'm going to periodically tackle them in Frequently Asked Questions (F.A.Q.) blogs. To kick off the series, I'm going to answer a question I've been getting quite often lately with the abundance of all the "Today's Shoot" blogs that have been added to the site. Frequently Asked Question: How do you determine which sets go up and when? The above question is often posed to me in numerous ways. Most often it is posed in a way as to ask when someone's favorite model will be making her next appearance. There is no simple answer to this question, however, as many factors are often involved. The following list is what I take into account when posting sets onto the site. They're not strict guidelines by any means, but things that I think about when picking what sets will be going up: Is the

Monday's Shoot - Ryan

Image
I feel like the title of this blog has been used before. Oh wait, it has! Two other times, as a matter of fact. With the move to this blog from the site's former columns section, I've made sure to blog about each and every shoot I've done. Earlier in the year I also stated that I really wanted to do more photos with Ryan than we did in 2012. Well, it looks like I've succeeded with my task. This dark haired beauty posed for three more sets today in Georgetown, Washington, D.C. In the weeks leading up to today's shoot I had been looking around on Google Earth for some unique settings to use . We originally planned on doing four sets, so I found several spots all around Georgetown. Today, however, we ran into a couple of roadblocks and changed up our plans. The first location I had wanted to use was a series of water fountains in the Georgetown Waterfront Park. I anticipated that there would be people here, but from some distance away we could see that the area w

Monday's Shoot - Charlee

Image
This summer has been packed with shoots. I've managed to add two new models to the site in Mandy and Rachel , but I've also made sure my regulars have gotten in front of the camera too. Today, however, marked the first time this year that I've had Charlee posing for Soles of Silk . As you know, Charlee recently joined a select few on the site in the 1K Club (1,000 or more photos). I wrote a blog about the accolade on July 12 titled, " 1K Club - Charlee's Footgraphy ," that details all the sets shot up until that point. Without rehashing the blog too much, there are still two more older sets left to post from last summer, but both Charlee and I were eager to do some new photos. Our day started off with the both of us rolling out of bed and admitting that we needed a few more minutes via text message. I was so damn comfy and told her that her feet were enough reason to get up, but I'd go right back to sleep otherwise. She called me a goof, like she&#
