Chloe is another in the long list of models in this series who used to work with me. She was someone who I also hung out with outside of work, doing things such as hitting up movies, amusement parks, and going out to eat with other friends. When I asked her if she'd like to shoot for Soles of Silk, she was so excited. She even got her friend, Meagan, to come along and join in. Although I only shot with Meagan that one time, Chloe went on to shoot several sets over the next few years.
Chloe is someone many of you loved, which only made her enjoy doing this even more. I always adored her feet, myself, and she just loved getting them into my hands once I put the camera down, or when we hung out. I figured she'd end up being one of my regulars for many years to come, but after she got a new job, we began to lose touch. I still see her from time to time, but we haven't really had much more than a passing, "Hello, how are you?" type of conversation.

Other Notables: Also appeared on Layla's former website.
This blonde cutie was introduced to me via Layla. Layla and I were shooting quite a bit for a number of years and she asked me several times if I would be interested in shooting someone else that she knew, or had coming by to shoot for her former site. Chrystine was was of those models.
I had never met Chrystine prior to the day I drove out to Layla's, but I was instantly comfortable with her from the start. She was super sweet and fun to be around. She had fun in front of my camera and I got in a few solo sets as well as a couple of her alongside Layla. Those sets all happened the first and only time I ever got to shoot with her. We kept in touch online for a short time following her shoot, but that was over 10 years ago now and I couldn't tell you what she's up to these days, or even if she's still modeling.

Other Notables: Site debut model. First model to join the 2K Club. Reached the 1K Club with the posting of her 2009 Wu's Feet Links feature. Held the mantle of the site's most photographed model for a period of time. Loves stepping in food... a lot! Has the sweatiest feet I have ever encounter.
There is so much I could say about Cierra in regards to who she is and what she's done for Soles of Silk. As you can see above, she's one of the site's original eight models and over the years, she's racked up quite the resume. I could go on forever about her and all that she's done, but I want to keep things brief for each model in this blog series.
Cierra shot for me when I didn't even have a site to show - just some samples photos of the three models I shot before her. Little did I know, at the time, she'd be just one of two models from the site's launch to shoot regularly up until this day, with the other being Mindee. And although she hasn't shot since 2015, I still consider her an active model because she's been going through a lot and we just haven't been able to schedule anything. She still wants to shoot, so I think I should give her some dates and try to make things happen.
Over these last 14 years, Cierra has been one of the models who are most associated with Soles of Silk. In the site's earliest years, Madison, Kellie, and Layla were three of my most photographed models. Then Cierra began shooting at such a pace she would eventually become the first model to join the 2K Club. She held that spot alone for some time, until Mindee made it her mission to become the site's most photographed model. We all know how much she shoots these days!
I'm hoping to get in some camera time with Cierra again and am probably going to hit her up once I finish up this blog entry. I miss her and those trademark, sweaty feet. I know it's tough for her to find time to shoot, but I'll take whatever I can get. Even if we shot 5 sets of her on the couch with different themes, I'll take it. I'd love to have Cierra's photo count rise again.
Colleen (size 8.5)
Model #: 54
Debut Date: July 8, 2009
Published Sets: 8

Hey! Look! Another former coworker! I told you that this would be a trend. Colleen is the seventh model on this entry alone who used to work with me at some point in time. Hell, she's the 17th in the blog series up to this point and we're only on the third installment.
Colleen is someone who I always thought to be beautiful, but outside of work, we didn't really hang out much. When she became friends with Kelsey, eventually she and I became closer and she agreed to shoot for me. Her first time she came out with Kelsey and I and the plan was to do a solo set with each, followed by a duo set. We ran out of sunlight to do the duo, which I still wish I had gotten in to this day. I was never able to get the two of them together again.
Colleen has shot for me several times since her debut, always doing great shots. You can see she had regular appearances in my annual 10 Favorite Photo Sets blogs when she was shooting with me on a regular basis. Sadly, however, it's been five years since our last shoot. We haven't worked together in years, and although we were shooting after she left, we slowly grew apart. Good news, however! I recently hit her up and she said she's game for a comeback. We didn't set anything up yet, but I'm sure hoping this happens and I'm obviously looking forward to more awesome sets with her and her slender size 8.5's.
Danaya (size 6)
Model #: 28
Debut Date: April 26, 2006
Published Sets: 2
Published Photos: 92
Annual Top 10 Favorite Photo Set Blogs Appearances: 2006 (10th)
Other Notables: Has appeared on other foot fetish sites.
I met Danaya through a photographer/web master that she used to work with on another site. He put us in touch and I found out that she lived only 15 minutes away. We made plans to shoot at her place one night and we hit it off quite nicely. I loved her little size 6 feet and wanted to make her a regular on Soles of Silk.
The reason why that never ultimately happened, however, was because of a computer failure I had years ago. I lost a lot of my email contacts and it took me some time to retrieve them. When I hit up the photographer who put Danaya and I in touch to begin with, he made it known that the two of them no longer got along. I was left without her information, just hoping that she'd hit me up instead. That never happened and those size 6 beauties above only ever made the two appearances on the site.
I hope you enjoyed this look at the 10 models above. Be on the lookout for Part 4 of this 10 part blog series in the days to come.
