Soles of Silk Blog

For only the second time in Soles of Silk's 20 year history one of its models is entering the 4K Club (4,000 photos). It will come as no surprise for those who frequent the site that this model is none other than Kelsey . Kelsey has been the most photographed model on the site since her return in 2022. As a matter of fact, it's five months to the day that she broke into the 3K Club back in October 2023. Talk about quick! Five months ago Kelsey was the third model to earn her way into the 3K Club, joining both Mindee and Charlee . If you want to read more about her journey from 2,000 - 3,000, be sure to read, " 3K Club - Kelsey's Footography ." While sitting in second place at exactly 4,000 photos, Kelsey still has a way to go if she wants to become Soles of Silk's most photographed model overall. That title is held by Mindee and has been for a very long time. Here is how the two stack up with their current photo counts: Mindee  - 9,604 Kelsey  - 4,000 As you

On August 3, 2022 Kelsey became the site's sixth model to join the 2K Club (2,000 photos). That rare feat had only been accomplished by Cierra (2011), Mindee (2014), Charlee (2019), Alice (2019), and Kaycee (2022) prior to her taking her place among the site's 2K Club members. Since then Abby also joined in February of this year. With a grand total of seven models reaching the 2,000 photo milestone, it is clearly a rare feat. Want to know what's even rarer? The 3K Club.  Until the October 4, 2023 update only two models had managed to reach 3,000 photos. Those models are Mindee (2015) and Charlee (2022). Well, that number is now three. I'd like to welcome Kelsey to the site's 3K Club. Here is how her photo count currently stacks up against those who have reached and/or surpassed 3,000 : Mindee  - 9,604 Charlee  - 3,405 Kelsey  - 3.012 In just over one year's time Kelsey has amassed another 1,000 photos while topping the " 2022's Star Models "

Back in 2017 Alice told me that she had a friend, named Leah , who wanted to shoot. The three of us made plans and the two of them shot two sets together upon her debut. Seeing the two of them together, especially in the Snowbunnies set, was so much fun. I knew I had another energetic, fun, and open-minded model on the roster. I couldn't wait to shoot with her again. A few weeks later Leah and I made plans to shoot again, this time solo. I wanted to focus on her alone and get to know her a little better. By the end of that day I had learned so much about her and shared a ton more. A lot of that information was shared over foot rubs, which Leah absolutely adores. She made that very clear from the start. Whenever we shoot, I'm to spend time rubbing her feet. This has happened every single shoot and there are no complaints from me! After these first two shoots I was hoping Leah would become one of my regulars. Although she ultimately has, it took us few years to make that happen.

On September 4, 2013 Abby became the site's 11th model to join the 1K Club (1,000 photos). Now, just just shy of 10 years later, she's joining a club that only six other models have joined - the 2K Club. It was a slow go from 2013-19, with Abby having only seven sets published to the site. In 2022, however, we made a strong push to have her more involved with the site. In 2022 alone Abby would have eight full-sized sets published with a small outtakes set thrown in as a bonus. And here in 2023, Abby is the first model to shoot new content, getting in two sets last Saturday. If you haven't checked out " Saturday's Shoot - Abby ," be sure to do so after you wrap up with this footography. Before moving on and talking about some of her stand out sets from 1K - 2K, let's first take a look at how Abby stacks up against all of the models in the 2K Club. With this week's Grapes & Wine set, Abby's entry into 2K Club sees her debut  in front of Kaycee

Kelsey becomes the 6th model on Soles of Silk to reach 2,000 photos this week. Back in January 2006, Kelsey sat on my kitchen table and squished a birthday cake in her first-ever shoot. The theme was perfect as she turned 18 less than 24 hours before and she was ready to share her feet with the world. She made quite the mess, and had a ton of fun squishing her feet into that soft, chocolate cake. That wouldn't be the last mess she made and it certainly wasn't the last time the two of us a bunch of fun with my camera pointed at her feet. Back in 2014 Kelsey became the 12th model in Soles of Silk history to join the 1K Club (1,000 photos). While Kelsey wasn't shooting as regularly as some of my other models, she was still a regular and saw several sets published on average each year. It was more of a slow burn with Kelsey. While I wished we had shot more often, work, life, family, and moving all got in the way of making that a reality. Fast forward a couple of years to 2016

Luckily for me, there was another shoe for me to smell. To date 20 Soles of Silk models have reached 1,000 photos in their galleries, entering them into the 1K Club. Five of those models went on to reach the 2K Club when they broke past the 2,000 photo mark. Until this week's update, however, only one model had ever surpassed the 3,000 photo mark. That model is obviously Mindee . Well, now Mindee finally has some company in the 3K Club. Enter Charlee . In 2019 both Charlee and Alice joined the 2K Club and their photo counts continued to rise. Before long, both passed by the site's former second most photographed model, Cierra . With a lack of new sets, Charlee kept on climbing while Alice is at a stand still. As of this footography, Charlee is now about 500 photos ahead of Alice for the second spot with a couple unpublished sets still waiting to make it onto the site. Before going on, let's take a look at the Top 5 models on Soles of Silk based on photo count: Mindee   -

Kaycee's 30th set on Soles of Silk marks her entry into the 2K Club. These footography blogs have become a regular occurrence over the last three months. In January Allie became the site's 19th model to join the 1K Club (1,000 photos) and in February Ava did the same thing becoming the 20th. Here in March I'm back at it, but this time I'm not writing a footography on a model reaching the 1K Club, but rather the 2K Club. That model is none other than my good friend and fun-loving gal pal, Kaycee .  While the 1K Club has grown to include 20 models, the 2K Club is one quarter that size. Cierra was the first to reach 2K back in 2011. Mindee came next, doing so in 2014. It took until August of 2019 for the third and fourth models to join this club, doing it in back to back weeks. Those models were Charlee and Alice . As you can see, Kaycee is joining an elite group.  Let's take a quick look at the photo counts of every model presently in the 2K Club: Mindee   - 9,39

I knew Ava was going to look adorable in this adult onesie, but damn... Since her last published set on January 19, 2022, Ava has been sitting just four photos shy of 1,000. Knowing she was so close to becoming the site's 20th model to join the 1K Club (1,000 photos), both Ava and I have been excited to see this day finally arrive. I think I picked the perfect set to honor the occasion as well - Ava's Cozy Queen set. Expect to find this somewhere on "My Favorite Sets of 2022," at the end of the year. It's so damn cute! I am so happy to be seeing one of my most dependable models over the last few years take her place in the 1K Club. All the models have earned their place in the club have shot memorable sets and done so much for Soles of Silk . Ava deserves to be talked about among those models. And if I know Ava, I fully expect she will want to see her photo count rise higher and higher, putting her into the rare air of the 2K Club and even beyond. I am sure up fo
