Stan was surprised to receive a genuine reply to his posting on Craigslist.
"Free portraiture and/or boudoir photography" was the heading. The only replies so far had come from husbands with a fantasy to see their wife pose, but wouldn't, or from blokes who wanted to pose nude. Stan had soon gave a quick 'no' response to those!
So, the enquiry from Natasha was a pleasant surprise, considering she had given her number and asked Stan to call.
He was nervous as he tapped the number into his phone and could feel his heart beating a little faster as he waited for an answer.
"Hi, this is Natasha" came a bright happy voice at the end of the line. "Oh, hello Natasha, this is Stan - you responded to my ad on Craigslist?"
"Hi Stan, so good of you to call, I wasn't sure if the ad was genuine." She said,
"Same here" he laughed. "what type of photos are you looking for?" he asked.
"I'm not sure but I've always wanted to be a model." Natasha replied.
"Well, let's just do a fun shoot and see what happens." Stan suggested.
"Sounds great to me, how about tomorrow?" Natasha was keen!
They arranged to meet at Natasha's flat the following evening for a test shoot, Stan was nervous as he had only worked with a handful of models previously and Natasha sounded gorgeous.
He wasn't sure what to expect as he knocked at the door of Natasha's flat with his equipment - a camera bag and a big bag full of portable lighting, hoping he had got the right address.
"Oh hi, you must be Stan!" she threw her arms around him as though they had known each other for years. And she was just as gorgeous as Stan had hoped. "This is my sister Nicola, is it OK if she is around?"
"The more the merrier!" he replied, almost open mouthed as Nicola was just as gorgeous as her sister. Stan also spotted a half-empty bottle of Prosecco on the table, the girls must be getting in the mood.
"Can we get you a drink Stan? We're having one!" Natasha enquired as he started to unpack his gear.
"Just a glass of water while I set these lights up, if that's OK."
Within five minutes Stan had got the lights set up in the living room and was ready to start. Natasha was wearing a white blouse and jeans whilst her sister had on a grey jumper and jeans. Both were wearing ankle-length boots.
"OK, ready when you are Natasha"
Natasha gulped down a mouthful of Prosecco and now stood in the middle of the room, illuminated by the glow of the lights, looking a little lost. "How do you want me" she enquired.
Stan stifled a grin and replied "whatever comes naturally. How about both hands on your hips and looking straight at the camera, pout a little, let's see some attitude."
Natasha smiled, a really cute smile. Stan clicked the shutter of his camera, as he did so the radio trigger set off the remote flash guns, surprising Natasha who started to giggle. Stan clicked of another quick half dozen shots and paused to show Natasha the results on the camera's screen. She was thrilled, she had never been photographed with professional equipment before and, even though she wasn't strictly posing the photos were tremendous.
Nicola had been sat on the sofa with her legs curled up underneath her watching Stan take the first shots, she was now curious as to how they looked and came over to see, she gave her sister a playful tickle and both girls started giggling as Nicola teased Natasha about how good she looked. Natasha said "how about you pose now sis?"
Nicola just giggled again and said she was too shy and sat back on the sofa, still giggling. She looked so cute, just like her sister.
"What's next?" Natasha asked. Stan though for a second and, pushing his chances a little, asked Natasha to undo a button or two of the blouse "Let's make these next shots a little sexier" he suggested.
With no objection Natasha undid one then two buttons of her white blouse, which was still tucked into her tight jeans. Stan took a couple of steps back to get a full length shot of the sexy girl before him, white blouse, tight jeans and brown ankle boots.
