Well Today was a fun day, busy but fun. Allie wanted to go shopping to get new stuff to wear in her site so we followed her to the mall. We had a lot of fun shopping with her. A lot of the stores will ignore you, but some clerks will come ask what you are doing. Allie cracked us up when an older lady approached us in a store and told us we could not record in the store. Allie immediately started telling her about her cinematography project at college and we were helping her with a documentary on “Youth Consumerism in America” . . . from then on that became our story for everyone. Well, almost everyone.
In one shoe store the only person working was a young (18 or 19 year old) guy. When she decided on her shoes he was ringing them up and asked what we were recording for. Allie started into her normal explanation . . . and I called her out on it and introduced her as Sexy Girl Allie and gave him one of her business cards with her site address and a picture of her. The poor kid was stumbling all over himself after that. It was hilarious. Allie took it all in stride – this girl is amazing with her composure. We all had a good laugh as we left the store and the kid was already on the phone calling his friends to tell them he met a PORN STAR LOL.
Overall the mall was a pretty cool place to take pictures and record video. We got some interesting shots because Allie wanted to pose next to everything wierd. There was a giant foot that she sat next to and a plastic flamingo in a broken fountain. She just loves to be a ham and model for you guys. We got some funny looks but I guess it was worth it. A lot of the images came out great and show what it is like hanging with Allie for a day at the mall.

Well today was the first day we got to actually work with Allie in front of the camera. We had gotten to know her a bit in the few times we met while she decided on using us as her photographers, but today was our first chance to really get to spend time with her. She is a lot of fun. She was so cute recording her intro video. We had to keep starting over because she was so nervous. Most models are when they begin their careers. Anyway, let me tell you about today. We shot the first set and it was only the intro with a quick peek down her top. I was really excited to move on to other shoots so we could see how she did with her clothes off. (A lot of girls who want to have their own site freeze up when it is time to actually get naked with a photographer team in the room) Would Allie freeze? I was anxious to find out.
As we got ready for the second set she told us she was going to start in some short shorts but she wanted our opinion on what to wear under the shorts and her top. She then proceeded to strip completely naked and model a couple pairs of panties and bras for us . . . So much for her being shy
I suddenly had a feeling that we were working with a real diamond. This could be one of the greatest amateur solo sites of all time. The girl is gorgeous, a total exhibitionist, and she has a brain!!! Needless to say the remainder of the second set went quite smoothly. Allie has been looking at a lot of other girls web sites so she has some idea about posing, but now that she is actually working under the lights she realized that she has a way to go. She kept asking to see the pics as we were progressing through the shoot. I like that she is aware of what we have to do to light her and capture her properly in the frame. This is going to be the most fun I have ever had at work!!!

We just could not resist this picture! We were hanging out with Allie and some of her friends one day and we say the sign painted on the front of a brand new store. We thought it would be perfect to put up here just for fun. Please be patient, we are working with Allie as fast as we can to get her site up for you guys.
