Saturday's Shoot - Ava
Earlier this week I met up with Ava and shot her first sets of 2021 (see blog: "Tuesday's Shoot - Ava"). In that blog I mentioned that she and I were getting back together again on Thursday to shoot a few more sets. After that blog was published, however, we decided to push the new shoots to Saturday.
Today's shoot, Ava's first ones indoors, came out amazingly yet again. Ava's sets have always been great, but ever since the ones we did last year, I feel like she's stepped things up a few notches. I'm sure you'll agree when you see the samples from these newest sets.
Set 1: I Love Ballbusting
On Tuesday, I mentioned a shoot theme that we decided to save for our shoots later in the week. The set above was that theme. I had a feeling that if we had tried to shoot this set at the rec fields on Tuesday, a bunch of people would have been in the area, or come after we began. While I don't mind shooting in public places, I don't like to draw extra unwanted attention. A shirt that reads, "I Love Ballbusting" would probably have done just that.
Now you've probably seen a few of these ballbusting and blue balls themed sets on the site over the years. They're always fun to do and give the models a chance to toss around some insults and attitude. Ava has wanted to do one since her debut and now she finally has. Her size 9 feet sure smashed the biggest and smallest of the balls... the ones on the couch, obviously. Well, I'm sure her feet would destroy other ones elsewhere too, but I do keep my sets playful!
Set 2: Kit Kat Size Tease
Today didn't see Ava display her mean and teasing side just once. Nope. She got to do it twice. Ava and I had planned this set last fall, but never got to shoot it. The idea was sparked when I saw a bag of mini white chocolate Kit Kats sitting next to some of the Big Kat Kit Kat bars. My mind always sees naughty jokes and Ava thought it was just as funny when I shared the idea. Then I found a Kit Kat shirt and it was a foregone conclusion that this set theme would be Ava's at some point in the future. And now it has been shot.
I won't get into too many details here. I'm sure you can see the playful theme taking place in this set. Don't worry though, it wasn't just those small white chocolate ones that met their demise between her size 9's. Not at all. Those Big Kats also were owned between Ava's soles and toes. The thing is though, they at least got some attention from her soft feet. The white chocolate ones just sat all around her feet, unless Ava decided to squish them into dust.

Soles of Silk Update - April 21, 2021
This week's update includes the following items
Tuesday's Shoot - Ava
Last year, in late August, Ava shot two new sets for site and man... they were amazing. The one, a Ravens-themed set, made its way onto my listing of my "Favorite Sets of 2020." The second one didn't get published until this year, but I'll tell you know, it's up there on my early list of favorites for this year's listing.
Well, it looks like Ava might have just added two more sets that could challenge as some of my favorite sets for 2021, especially the second one we did. It's so good! Let's take a look.
Set 1: Gucci Slides
Ava's first set on the day saw her wearing some Gucci slides. She brought these with her because we changed our plans ust hours before meeting up. Finding out that Ava was also open to shooting again later this week, I decided to hold off on one of the sets so we could do it indoors. Without giving away the theme, let's just say it is probably better that we decided not to do it outside. Well, at least not where we shot today. It might have gained us a bit of unwanted attention. That's all I'll say about that.
So yeah, the slides were something that Ava grabbed and brought with her on a whim. Our second set was to feature sneakers. While I certainly didn't mind doing two sneakers themed sets today, I told Ava to bring whatever she wanted. She picked the slides.
Naturally, we decided to shoot this set right along the main walk path at the rec park. We had to stop a few times when people got close, but if they weren't right up on us, we just kept on shooting. There's no way that some of those didn't see us shooting. Like I've told so many models in the past, however, from a distance, people probably can't even tell that I'm focused on their feet. Well, there are some poses that it's pretty evident, but it's not the majority.
Set 2: Sneakers & No Socks... Again (Hopefully Again & Again)
I probably confessed a dozen times to Ava just how much I loved her gray sneakers set from last year - one she did without socks. I told her how it's one of my favorite sub-genres to shoot many times over and she seems to love my passion for it. She's told me she'd love to shoot as many of them as I'd like to shoot with her too. When they come out like the one from last year and the one here from today, you best bet I'm going to keep doing them.
Needless to say, I freaking love this set. Ava looks amazing and all the colors just pop. Oh yeah, and she's barefoot after pulling her feet from those sneakers, without socks. Have I said how much I love that?
I don't want to sound like a massive fan boy and keep going on and on about this set. It's simple, but so damn sexy. I'm just going to let the sample shot above speak for itself. It also adorns my PC's desktop as wallpaper too. I have a funny feeling it's going to spend lots of time there. Well, unless her and her size 9 feet go and out-do these sets on Thursday. The sets Ava has shot these last few times, that seems to be a likely scenario!

Sunday's Shoot - Allie
Well, the Dream Duo of Allie and Alice from Tuesday's blog, "Dream Duos #11 - Alice & Allie," still remains a dream. For now.
The three of us had plans to meet up for a few sets today, but some things came up on Alice's end. Thankfully Allie was more than happy to take the spotlight entirely on herself in Alice's absence. As for me, I was just happy I would still come away with a few sets nonetheless.

Allie and I used a large grouping of rocks out in the middle of the river for a set. |
Set #1 - On the Rocks
As always, I picked a nice windy waterfront spot for Allie for the first set. It seems like I always do this to her. And while she did battle some wind, we made it work. And we made it work just in time. About three minutes after our last photo, a family came down wanting to go fishing. I'm thinking they wanted to do it from the rocks we were on. When they saw us, they set up along the shoreline instead. We were done though and went on our way.

Can't go wrong with a lotion set every once in a while. |
Set #2 - Lil Bit of Lotion
Like I said above, today boiled down to what we had and what was around us. Luckily, down the far end of the park, a large groupings of brand new picnic tables were piled up all over the place. No one was around, except some people fishing far off from us in several directions. Oh... and a snake that Allie almost stepped on. Her screaming did alert a couple walking a dog off in the distance.
The snake aside, this set was an easy one to shoot. I also know it's one that I know a lot of you will like. It's simple set really. A barefoot Allie in blue jeans. That's a popular request as is. Another popular request is lotion covered feet. Why not combine the two. I've done it in the past and had good results. I did again today with Allie and her tiny size 5's.
While today didn't go as planned, I'm glad it wasn't a total loss. Shooting Allie is always a good time. When I eventually get to shoot her with Alice, I know it's going to be one of the most memorable pairings I've ever done. I'll be sure to keep you posted. Coming up soon, however, Ava and I should be getting in some camera time in a few days.

Dream Duos #11 - Alice & Allie
Welcome to the 11th installment in an ongoing blog series here on the Soles of Silk Blog. In this series I take a look at two models on the site who I'd love to see shoot together someday.
Alice (left)
Shoe Size: 11
Debut: May 6, 2015
# of Photos on Site: 2,561
Other Models Shot With: Camille, Leah, Maya, & Mindee
Allie (right)
Shoe Size: 5
Debut: August 9, 2017
# of Photos on Site: 525
Other Models Shot With: Juliet & Kaycee (not yet published)
The last time there was an entry in the Dream Duos series was March 22, 2020, "Dream Duos #10 - Mindee & Jasey Rae." Little did I know at that time, the world was about to go into a shutdown. I had recently shot photos with Kaycee earlier that same month, "Monday's Shoot - Kaycee." Those were the last photos I shot until August, when both Kaycee and Ava, did a couple of sets each. It wasn't until Allie returned in early September, however, that things began to feel normal again. Allie really kicked all kinds of ass at the end of 2020. She and her little size 5's, earned herself the number one ranking for the 2020 Star Model announcements.
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.
