As so many times before and since I had underestimated her intelligence and resourcefulness. I hadn’t realised that in her day-to-day work in the photographic studio she was helping professional photographers set up and conduct complex shoots.
Nor did I know then that sometimes she assisted with makeup and hair in their discreet boudoir studio.
But as soon as I saw her instinctively turn three-quarter to the camera, arch her lower spine and use gentle `ballet hands` to her face and hair I knew we could get it done.
For me this was to be the first time I see my mother completely nude, and better still, touch her as we adjusted the various poses. When she walked into the bedroom the sight of her caught my breath. But she just padded passed me, her face beaming and following my eyes – daring me to break the contact.
The streaming golden light glowed on her lithe body, softening her skin, and smoothing out any minor imperfections, like a fabric softener.
I knew then why she had given me the hand job before we started. If she hadn`t, I would have struggled to concentrate with a permanent hard-on.
Smart woman. Smart and very much in control.
As agreed the night before, both Sue and I had brought a couple of props with us. It was quite normal to give the model something to hold or cover areas of imperfection or modesty.
I had brought a spare camera, a pair of women’s spectacles and a Paisley pattern scarf to drape over her should she feel the need to be covered.
In the end we used only the spectacles to make her look like a sexy secretary having a steamy affair in her lunch hour. And boy, did she look the part.
We began working down our pre-prepared list of natural light poses beginning with breasts, ass and lower back.
To get the best possible butt shot I half closed the window blinds, restricting the light into a narrow shaft. Then to add maximum sensuality to the shot I used a water spray to apply glistening drops to her curves. The effect was stunning.
I used a similar shot to catch the curves of her breasts and nipples. Both shots tightly cropped below her neck and above her crotch.
But it was Sue herself who composed the shots to capture the sexy curves of her own arching lower back. Having seen this shot done many times in the studio before, she had brought with her two long necklaces of coloured beads. These she wore back-to-front draping them long and low, gently brushing against the cheeks of her butt. The vertical line of the necklace seeming to emphasise the negative space between them and the feminine curve of her lower spine.
All too soon it was time to stop the shoot and change back into our Cinderella clothes and personas. But not before I booted up the PC and dropped in the SD card from the camera.
Quickly scrolling through the shots we agreed on ten poses good enough to work on in Photoshop.
As I powered down the PC, Sue still naked slid her arms around my waist and held her face up to me to kiss. She looked and felt like someone from an erotic dream.
