If you'd told me at the start of my day that it would end as it did, I'd probably have laughed. It hadn't turned out quite as expected, and by that I meant it had gone completely different. This was knowing full well that when I'd started, I was going to be working with another naked celebrity.
The shoot with Rita had been well received, notwithstanding the additional fun we'd enjoyed together everyone had enjoyed the shoot, enjoyed the photos just enjoyed the obvious fun we'd had. Although we had a lot more fun than they realised and had the evidence to prove it. I'd been busy more calls more requests more ideas about work with other celebrities. A variety of themes and shoots I'd looked through and considered. I wasn't in a place to be completely picky but even so I'd tried to take my time and consider my options before hand, tried to pick what I thought was best.
A few things and a few caught my attention. That was how I first started speaking to Hilary Duff. Right away I'd liked her. She was fun, open minded and had an idea of what she wanted to do and how things might look. We'd sounded out ideas run through the idea the magazine had and discussed it in messages and then on the phone. We'd know each other at least somewhat and be more comfortable shooting together especially as right from the beginning we knew she'd be posing naked. She was happy and comfortable with it albeit a little nervous as to what it would be like.
But we'd talked it through found a time when our schedules were free and decided to meet up take some photos at first just to see the rapport we had before we started to explore further. In between that time, I knew she was getting herself ready training and working out even more. There was a house that had the perfect setting for the shoot. The outside gave us a secluded spot bright and airy plenty of light for the pictures. I'd thought it would work well as a backdrop to some of what we'd end up shooting.
When the day came, I was there early again just setting everything up before Hilary arrived. Mostly that involved making sure my equipment was ready the cameras, the batteries, the spare memory cards and computers. Everything else I'd need. By the time Hilary arrived a few hours later everything was prepared. She'd come bustling in smiling, happy full of nervous energy as we shared our first proper handshake, and she brushed my cheek with a kiss. Together we'd walked inside, and she'd dropped her bag down before we continued through the house to the outside where I was planning to do most of the shoot.
Once there I'd shown her around a little pointed out some of the things I wanted to work with, some of the ideas we had discussed and a few changes to make. Together then we'd bounced a few more thoughts and ideas around until we were both just about ready to begin. She'd taken a few minutes outside while I finished up just using her phone to take some shots of the view and the space we were using. When I was ready, I took out two bottles of water from the cooler and carried one over to her smiling as I approached.
"It would take some view to beat that one. It is a gorgeous one. This whole setting is going to work really well." I smiled as I passed the bottle across to her.
She chuckled softly as she took it. "I hope so." She replied cracking the top open and taking a drink.
"Nervous?" I asked her.
"A little. Not as much as I thought I might be though. Probably more excited, although I think my husband was more excited than me about the whole thing." She continued shaking her head as she smiled.
I arched an eyebrow and looked at her enquiringly.
"I guess he is just looking forward to seeing the results of the shoot." She laughed again. "He loved the idea right away. Something about the fact that he could see some more professional shots as well as the usual more candid shots done on a phone."
I smiled again. "I can see that. Different shots, different styles each fun in their own way. I think he is going to love this, between the two of us we'll keep him happy. What is he doing today anyway?"
"At home in charge of the kids so he'll be following along waiting eagerly for the updates that I send as we go." She chuckled again holding up her phone as she looked at me.
"Ah, I see. In that case if you're ready you can go and finish preparing while I make a last check of the equipment and we can make a start." I smiled again and she nodded taking a deep breath before she headed inside.
I settled down to wait just checking the cameras, the lights, making sure everything was ready and everything else was at hand just waiting for Hilary to reemerge from inside. It didn't take her long. She walked back out in a pristine white suit jacket and trousers hugging her form a few buttons at the top left open just to show off a little cleavage. We decided to keep things simple at first. A few outfits of her dressed just to make sure she was comfortable and relaxed before we started to explore more.
I made her stand against one wall out of the sun with a sheltered cover over the top and then settled down to get to work. It was easy mostly just getting her to make small adjustments as I moved around snapping pictures from different angles. Then I focused in on some headshots.
It was simple stuff but just helped us both get a feel for one another as we worked just getting used to things before we began ditching the clothes. I preferred keeping it that way. I liked things more instinctive and natural, more fun really and let her guide herself reacting to me as I moved around her shooting.
We played around with a few different poses, a few different looks. I had her commanding attention one moment, relaxed the next before she flashed a dazzling smile as I focused in and captured some more headshots of her just looking directly at the camera or glancing back over her shoulder acting a little coyer.
One thing for certain was she was in fantastic shape. She had nothing to worry about on that front. Whatever her training regime had been it had worked even like this her toned body was gorgeous. The suit hugged her figure all lean lush, toned curves and the tantalising peek of cleavage where the jacket was unbuttoned. Shortly she headed back inside to change again while I went back over the first set of shots just to see how they turned out. I was happy with the results. Hilary looked comfortable, she looked happy, and everything seemed like it was progressing well.
She soon emerged once more. This time with a black dress on. This was more daring, the front was cut away exposing more of her body. The round swells of her breasts were more exposed where the sides were cut away and the skirt moved around her legs cut along the sides to show of the toned muscles of her legs. I had her start of against the side of the wall again, at least at first. A few easy shots just to get us started letting me capture the general look of the outfit. I wanted to see her moving around so after we finished those first few shots I had just walk around the outside and moved around her with the camera capturing it all. We took our time in no hurry to rush. I swept the camera over her capturing the way she moved, the way the dress hugged her figure, the way it moved around her legs. I liked the fluidity of it.
Hilary was proving easy to work with. She didn't need much in the way of instructions and I mostly just followed her taking in as much as I could. Sometimes she'd pause and glance back at the camera. Other times she would cast her eyes away into the distance. My favourite was her leaning on the balcony edge staring of into the distance with the scenery beyond while the dress slipped forwards and flashed more of the skin of her bare legs.
It was all working well the two of us relaxed and enjoying it. A few words here and there were all I really used, just as something came to mind that I wanted her to do. Which wasn't often mostly I let her move and just captured it. Then once we were both happy, she slipped back inside and went to change again. I waited for her to remerge once again just busying myself with a few chores swapping the memory card on the camera uploading all the photos I'd taken so far and briefly running through them to see what we had done so far. It all looked good, and I knew it was only leading up to the most fun part. That was when Hilary slipped out again.
This time she was wearing a coat. It certainly was distracting. I couldn't help but glance at her as she came out my eyes drifting across her figure as she moved. It was simply a coat. I knew there was nothing beneath just her bare skin. It made one stop for a moment. It was a cream coloured, long so that it flowed around the bottoms of her legs without any shoes on belted up tightly at the waist. It had a glossy finish making it shine in the light. Beneath you could see tantalising peaks of bare tanned skin something I knew I would soon be seeing a whole lot more of.
