Soles of Silk Blog

Well, well... I can finally look out of my window and not see any snow on the ground. It's about damn time! This winter has seen it's fair share of snow and I cannot wait for the warm weather to arrive. I crave getting back to doing some photography and seeing countless pairs of cute feet. But in the meantime, I thought I'd go over some news and notes to keep everyone in the loop. Here's what's been going on with Soles of Silk and what is hopefully set to come: Lela Beryl debuts on March 12. New Model - Lela Beryl If you've been following this blog you already know that last week the site gained its second new model of the year in Lela Beryl . (see blog: " Tuesday's Shoot - Lela Beryl ") I'm not going to go into massive amounts of detail since I did in the aforementioned blog, but it was great to finally meet this fun loving girl. Those VERY soft feet spent a few hours in front of my camera and in my hands afterward. They'r

Back in January I wrote the ninth installment of the ongoing "Would Love to Shoot" blog series. (see blog: " Would Love to Shoot #9 ") In that particular installment I named Lela Beryl as one of the three girls I'd love to see in front of my camera one day. I wrote,  "...I feel pretty good that one day, if our schedules match up, Lela will be showing off those pretty bare soles for Soles of Silk ."  Well, that day came on Tuesday, but it almost didn't happen. For several months Lela and I have been talking on Twitter ( @LelaBeryl ) about meeting up and shooting for Soles of Silk. She has always been fond of the idea, but with the distance between us, it would take one of us traveling for it to work out. Luckily for me, a few weeks ago Lela informed me that she, along with her friend, and Soles of Silk model, Rachel DD ( @ModelRachelDD ) would be doing a road trip and coming my way. We compared schedules and set on the date of Monday, March 3.

Most of 2004 was spent creating the site and figuring out how I would be running things. Technically the site was only online for the final week of 2004, so many didn't even see it until the new year - and see it, they did! A total of 18 models would debut during 2005, marking the most that has debuted in any of the site's 10 years to date. Just like 2004 I had a mix of returning models from

Early preview from Jamie's teal & black sneakers set. Every time I turn around this year an important milestone is being reached on Soles of Silk . On the January 8 update Mindee became the second model to join the 2K Club (2,000 photos), also overtaking Cierra for the most photos on the site. Less than two weeks ago Kelsey joined the 1K Club (1,000 photos) and now, Jamie is doing the same. If you remember back to the 2013 Trivia Contest, one of the questions asked which two models were the next closest to reaching 1,000. That turned out to be Kelsey and Jamie and both have broke that mark, doing so on the same month at that. Jamie began posing the day after her 18th birthday back in August of 2010. This makes her one of the fastest to hit the 1,000 photo mark in the site's history. She's done some amazing sets along the way too, but I'll get into that below. First, let's take a look and see how she compares to the other girls who have reached the 1

The Where's Wendy? Contest banner. Soles of Silk's second contest of 2014 is done and in the books. The first of it's kind, I made people find two different photos of site regular, Wendy , hidden in random places on the site. I called it, "The Where's Wendy? Contest."  The premise was simple. Two images were hidden on the site. The first one I hid in the guest area and the second, in the members. The image in the guest area would be worth a 1-month membership to the first person to find and email the page URL. The image in the member section, only visible to someone already with member access, was worth a 3-month extension. The image people had to find to win a 1-month membership prize. It only took three hours to find the first image (above) hidden in the guest area. I placed it on Keira's free sample page. Since both girls have size 8 feet, I decided to put her there. The "8" idea would also come into play for the members

Teaser shot from the unpublished Super Oily set. Whenever I have the chance to have one of my good friends model for me, I jump all over it. This was the case back in 2006 when a newly turned 18 year old Kelsey joined the roster. As a matter of fact, it was the day following her birthday when Kelsey sat on my kitchen table and smashed a chocolate cake under her feet in celebration. She even had braces on in those early sets! Now here we are just over eight years later and Kelsey is still going strong.  With her most recent set published on February 5, 2014, she becomes the 12th model on Soles of Silk to join the 1K Club. Only two times during her eight years has she spent any extended time away from the camera. The first was when she moved out of state for about a year. The second, when she became a mother. Both times, however, she brought those cute little size 6.5 feet back to share with all of you. Here is a list of all the models on the list thus far (in order of photos)
