I quickly turned to look at her and she gave me a nod of agreement.
“Let’s start planning the poses, makeup and lingerie after we’ve had dinner tonight. I’ll have to buy a few new things in my lunch break tomorrow. Now get me home love, so I can use my heat pad on these horrible stomach cramps!”
That night I cooked our meal and washed up while Mum showered and changed into silver-grey pyjamas with matching night bra to protect her sensitive nipples.
Having washed her hair she wrapped it in a twirl, forming a sort of turban.
I then showered, putting on a sleeveless black `T` shirt and running shorts.
With the TV switched off we settled down together on the sofa. I had a note pad and pen.
Mum had a heating pad on her stomach as well as her lingerie brochures and an envelope with all my photos of her.
We kissed affectionally before she curled up into to my body, her back into my chest, my legs under hers.
She smelled of fresh rain and simple cream soap. I nuzzled my head into her wet neck, kissing her fresh skin and told her I loved her. She purred with pleasure.
I had one hairy arm around her which I reached around and cupped her left breast. Sue snuggled in tighter to me when I held her breast, but she whispered for me not to touch her nipples as they were always very tender during her period.
I could have sat like that forever, but she wanted to work on the plans for our own photo shoot.
Slowly we worked through the brochures, circling the sort of poses she thought would best suit her figure. I jotted down notes of the backdrops, lights and reflectors I would need. Some of it I knew I could loan from my college tutor.
Sue was surprisingly interested as I explained what I knew of the various techniques used in boudoir photography.
I emphasised that early morning light is the illumination of choice for portraits. However I planned to borrow a soft light box for her close ups.
I suggested we take a series of shots with her sitting on the stairs, lit only by the window on the upper landing and a single Lupolex light subtly positioned through the handrails.
But she asked most questions about the shots I planned of her posing naked and those wearing lingerie on her bed. We discussed how we could best use the warm early morning natural light from her bedroom window and a single backlight to give a halo to her hair and body.
Gradually we drew up a schedule of shots, clothes, backgrounds and settings. We also agreed, given available time and limited equipment, that many of her portfolio images would be in black and white.
As we chatted I explained how much time I would need to work on each image in Photoshop before printing and mounting.
I anticipated working most of Thursday night, but said it would be worth it if she got modelling work as a result.
Sue seemed pleased with our plan and had a shortlist of underwear, stockings and makeup she planned to buy next day.
Every few minutes she turned her face up to mine and we kissed as only lovers can. Occasionally I slid my hand down her thigh to her feet, tickling them and receiving playful jabs in the ribs as my reward.
