Dream Duos #1 - Mindee & Melani

Welcome to the first ever installment of the Dream Duo Blog Series. It's always a fun time when I can get two models together for a photo shoot, but there are always certain pairings that I just know will result in some awesome photos. Over the years I've been lucky enough to make some of those pairings happen. Pairings such as Madison & Lauryn, when I launched the site in 2004, and Alice & Leah just last week, were quick to become fan favorites. That being said, I thought it would be fun to come up with some "Dream Duos," if you will, and pitch them to you here in this all new blog series. Each entry will focus on one potential duo. We kick this all new series off with one of the site's original models, Mindee, and one of the site's newest, Melani.

Mindee is far and away my site's most photographed model. She debuted with the site back in December 29, 2004 with a baseball themed set that involved socks. Fast forward to the April 12, 2017 update and another model, whose name begins with an "M," Melani, makes her debut. Her debut set was also themed to baseball and involved socks. Talk about a quinky dink!? That totally wasn't planned and was something I just realized sitting down to write this blog. I might have to include said fact in this year's trivia contest!

Anyhow, my reason for wanting to see these two models together has nothing to do with those aforementioned ties. It is more along the lines of having one of the site's newest models shooting with one of the site's most established. For me, it's akin to seeing a can't miss rookie prospect teaming up with a hall of fame caliber player in sports.

With Mindee's vast experience, and having teamed up with nine different models at this point, a set with Melani will come as second nature to her. In the past Mindee has served as a great mentor to newly debuting models, most recently Reese, Rein, Rilynn, and Noelle in 2016. She was on set for all of their debuts, shooting with each of them immediately after. It really helped having Mindee their to help them get their feet wet - pun intended.

Melani, however, probably doesn't need much coaching. While she's still very new to this, she's caught on quick. We've shot on two different occasions thus far, and almost got in a third had it not been for chilly weather. With five sets in this first month, Melani is learning quick. She'll still learn some stuff from Mindee though, no doubt!

Another important factor in matching up two models for a set together is chemistry. That's why I always love shooting relatives and/or friends, like Kaycee and Reagan, for example. There is that inherent bond between everyone involved and fun almost always ensues because of it. Even though Mindee and Melani have yet to meet, the two have such fun loving, carefree personalities, I know this will work. By the end of the set I'm sure we'll all be laughing our asses off, probably at my expense - isn't that right, Mindee? Although both these ladies are known to say some things that will also result in some laughs - isn't that right, Melani?

I don't know how long this duo will remain a "Dream Duo." I've mentioned the idea of shooting these two together to the both of them. Mindee, as always, was down. Melani also thought it would be cool and said to let her know when. Now all I have to do is start trying to match everyone's schedule, which is usually the hardest part in making any duo a reality. We all work different places and Melani is actually still in high school, having turned 18 earlier this year. Nevertheless, this is one Dream Duo I intend to make happen sooner, rather than later.

Be on the lookout for future Dream Duo entries. Which two models would you most like to see photographed together? Don't hesitate to let me know.
