After kicking off the morning with Kelsey doing two outdoor sets ( Part 1 ) and then meeting up with both Kelsey and Leah a few hours later to shoot their first-ever team-ups ( Part 2 ), it was time for Leah and I to shoot her solo sets. But first, some foot rubs. Kelsey had left and Leah and I decided to take a few minutes to relax. It was a busy day for everyone involved, so I welcomed some time to sit on the couch and pamper Leah's feet. Plus, Leah would insist on it regardless. It's always nice when the models tell you to rub their feet. Eventually we decided to get off our asses after about 30 minutes and get the third round of shooting underway. Two more sets, both focused on Leah would finish up the day. I had one set in mind before the day began. That one you will see up first. The second was a last minute idea and one I kept simple and adorable on purpose. Set 1: Octo-locked It's Locktober. This is usually a time where you see a set or two of Leah hitting Soles o...

It was 4 p.m. A few hours prior I had Kelsey in front of me shooting a couple solo sets to kick off the day (see Part 1 ). Now I had photo lights pointed at the bed and was waiting for both Kelsey and Leah to make their way to the hotel.  Kelsey and Leah together! Oh boy! The two of them have never shot together. Being two of the site's most photographed models, I couldn't pass up the chance to pair them up since they were both open for a few hours on Monday, October 5. We shot two sets and both of them were adorable. They had fun shooting together too and hopefully we can find some time to do it again soon. Set 1: Comfy in Cat Print This first set was one that literally came together after shooting with Kelsey earlier in the day. I had plans for one set (see below), but didn't know what to do with the second second. I pondered several ideas, including a food smashing set. Not wanting to deal with the mess, I ultimately went shopping and let whatever I saw in the store sp...

If you've been following Soles of Silk through this blog or on X ( @SolesofSilk ) recently you know that Kelsey and I have been on a tear shooting new content the last few weeks. We originally planned to shoot photos on September 14th and 28th, but decided to meet up for a few hours on September 21st as well. That meant new photos for three consecutive weeks. Well, now you can make it four. A couple of weeks ago Leah reached out to me to see if I was open to do a shoot. I told her I could meet her on Monday, October 5. She said she could make that work and we penciled in those plans. As the days went by an idea popped into my head. Why not see if Kelsey could come by and jump in on some sets with Leah? The two of them had never shot together and both of them like shooting with new people. I ran the idea by both of them and they both liked it. Our original plans had all of us meeting up early and shooting the two-girl sets first, and doing them outdoors. As the days went by, how...

For the third Monday in a row Kelsey and I met up to take some photos of her adorable feet. If all plays out, it will be four Mondays in a row next week, but more on that in a bit. On Monday, September 14, Kelsey and I decided to get together and shoot a few sets. A few sets turned out to be five, more than we had anticipated. We shot quick and had some wonderful results. If you haven't saw those photos, I invite you to check out the shoot blog, " Monday's Shoot - Kelsey ," from that September 14 shoot. The following Monday, September 21, both of us had plans, Kelsey's were early in the morning, and mine were later in the afternoon. We knew we wanted to shoot again and with those plans in mind, we decided to wait a week and get together again on Monday, September 28. Well, that was before we got to talking at work. During some downtime, we got to talking about how we could probably shoot a few sets in between our plans if we really wanted to do it. We both did an...

Last week Kelsey and I decided to get together to shoot "a few" sets. We ended up shooting five. That was more than we expected to do, but I sure as hell wasn't going to turn down more. They came out great too. If you want to see what we did that day, check out the " Monday's Shoot - Kelsey " blog from September 14, 2026. When we wrapped up last week we decided to go ahead and made plans shoot again in two weeks, on Monday, September 28. Since we both had plans the following Monday (today), we didn't even consider it. That changed a few days later though when Kelsey said she'd be done her plans around 10 a.m. Mine weren't until 3:45 p.m. That was plenty long enough to shoot "a few more" sets. Why not? I told Kelsey we could do it as long as we still shoot on the 28th too. She smiled and said, "Good. I still want to." Kelsey and I got together today around 10:30 a.m. The plan was to shoot another two or three sets, but I told ...

I recently came home from a much-needed vacation. When I went back to work, Kelsey and I were talking during some downtime. I told her to keep me in mind if she had any free time coming up for some new sets. She said okay and said she'd be game even if we shot only a set or two and that didn't have to be an all-day thing like last time. I agreed and told her to let me know if she had anything open. I think it was only a day or two later that we decided to go ahead and shoot here on Monday. We were both off and Kelsey was free until 4 p.m. I came up with a few loose ideas for us to use for themes, this time, all done outdoors. It's been a while since we've shot outside and it in the high 70's, the weather was perfect minus some wind from time to time. I figured we'd only get in three sets, but told Kelsey I'd plan for us to do five or six if we crushed it on time. When outside, it usually depends on whether or not we find a place to use that isn't smack ...

Back in February was the last time Charlee had spent time in front of my camera. That day she shot with both Ava and Audrey in several team ups. Her previous shoot was also a team up, back in April 2025, and was also with Ava. Jump back one more month to March 2025 and you will find the last time Charlee had modeled for anything by herself.  So it should go without saying that Charlee was overdue for some new solo sets. A few weeks ago I asked Charlee if she had any plans on Labor Day. I would be coming home from a vacation a few days prior, but I didn't make any Labor Day plans. If she was free, I would happily leave it open for her. Thankfully, she was. These are the six sets that we were able to shoot yesterday. Only a couple of them were pre-planned, with the rest coming together the day of the shoot. I'll give some of the backstory about each of these sets as I progress through what we did in order. Now, let's begin... Set 1: Football Cards This set's theme was ...

Back in February Kelsey and I met up for an evening to shoot as many sets as we could. Our goal was to do 10 and we made it happen. That shoot happened on Monday, February 9 and you can check out what we did that day in the shoot blog, " Monday's Shoot - Kelsey ." Surprisingly we haven't been able to find any camera time since, but to be honest, with those 10 sets from February and the nine she did in December, it wasn't like I was short on sets featuring her adorable feet. Still, I missed them and always welcome the chance to do more. A few weeks ago Kelsey and I made some plans to shoot again and I asked her if we could try for another 10. She said sure and I got to planning on what we'd do. I ended up with way more than 10 ideas, but I narrowed it down to 10. We will hopefully find some more time to do the rest before the end of 2026. Now, let's take a look at the sets we did do yesterday. Many of you probably saw some of the samples I was posting to X...
