Over the last few years, Rob and I have gotten together the Friday of the October, Canadian Thanksgiving, and have gone to a local flower garden and taken rolls and rolls of film, and this year we were to add to the collection, by another 6 rolls of film.

Well, this year it was going to be a week earlier, September 22nd to be exact, but we were determined to work with it. I had done a ton of work to get ready for the big day, as not only did I have to get ready for the shoot, but we were trying to sell our house at this point, so things had to be perfect which meant getting things ready for the shoot, them packing them away to keep the house looking neat and tidy.

The dresses for the shoot were gathered over the year, and they included,

* Sharon's and I's matching fusia bridesmaid's dresses.
* Two Royal Blue Bridesmaid's dress, one light and the other dark.
* A peach lace over satin dress.
* My sexy blue sequined dress.

As the shoot approached, accessories were needed for some of the dresses, a pair of satin heels, dyed the colour to match BOTH royal blue dresses, some special jewelry, and just the right shade of nylons.

All of the photo shoots have started the same, with me leaving the house in the first dress of the day, and this was going to be Renee's fusia Bridesmaid's dress. Now, once the photo shoot was over, I chose, as always, something short and sexy to wear home from the flower gardens. This outfit was just the thing to make me "sheik" to the fashion trends in this area in the fall of 1995. The outfit consisted of a short red plaid "kilt", the skirt was as short as my shortest leather miniskirt, and looked great!. The top of the outfit as a tight black ribbed sweater, it hugged my breasts and gave me great shape. To finished off the outfit, a pair of silky and sheer black pantyhose, not quite black, but very pretty, and I decided to wear my 4" pair of black patent heels to finish the day off.

Now with all of the outfits chosen, the packing had to be done, and this is the toughest part, making sure that as I slipped in and out of each dress, that everything was ready for the next outfit, as the stall in the ladies room at the flower gardens was small, and planning was needed!. Once all of the planning was in place, and the day of the photo shoot approached, the only thing standing in our way was the weather.

Well as it turned out, I woke the morning of the 22nd, and lone behold it was pouring rain and in the 60's as far as temperature went, and it did not look good first thing in the morning. I decided that I would take a chance and called Rob early in the day and said "let's chance it". Well as the sun rose and it got lighter, the heavy rain started to subside, and it was just a drizzle as I slipped into my silk dressing gown and lingerie for the first dress of the day.

Once all my makeup was on, and I was putting on my nail polish, I peaked out of the window and saw that it was still drizzling and waited for Rob to arrive.

Rob arrived as always, on time, and when we greeted we both commented on the weather, and Rob informed me that he was prepared and had an umbrella, but I told him that I would have to be careful where I walked as I was going to be in satin heels, and if you do not know this, water and satin dyed heels do not mix. Rob helped me slip into my first dress of the day and then into the car with all of the packing I had done, and away we went!.

Once we arrived at the flower gardens, as we anticipated, there were no people there, and we had the whole gardens all to ourselves. Once established in the ladies washroom, Rob and I were ready for the photo shoot to begin!. Lone behold, as I stepped out from the ladies room and into the gardens, the drizzle started to subside, and all we were left with was a cool temperature and slight breeze. Rob had commented in the past that an overcast day makes for a better picture taking day, and we were going to have to see how these pictures turned out, as it was overcast as overcast can get.

With the slight breeze and clearing skies, Rob and I went from dress to dress, and several different poses and locations in the gardens and it was so natural. This was Rob and I's third trip to the gardens, and I felt very comfortable as I posed for the camera, and felt confident that these pictures were going to possibly be the best ever taken.

As the day wore on, some people came into the gardens were looking around, and I was concentrating on Rob so much, I did not really pay attention to them. Although late in the day, Rob and I were taking some poses right in the centre of the gardens and I could hear a girl, probably around 13 or so, commenting to her mother how pretty the dress I wore looked, and how pretty the shoes were, and this was thrilling to me!.

The humorous part of the day came on the last two dresses that we filmed. Both did not involve satin heels, and the satin heels I was wearing were 3" in height, they involved 4" white and silver sparkly 4" heels. Well, with the softness of the ground, and not having to worry so much about the moisture in some of the soft pathways in the garden, we decided to make use of some of the areas of the gardens that were not used in previous dresses.

I have walked in 4" heels, many, many times before, and this was my fist time attempting to standing on very soft ground. Well, the walking was not a problem, as most of the time the pressure was on my toes, as it should be in 4" heels, but when I relaxed my calf muscles when I posed, the heels dug in. This resulted in me almost falling flat on my butt on more than one occasion, and after about three or four times, Rob and I worked out an arrangement that had me posing for the pictures, only when he was ready to snap, and that worked out well.

Once all of the pictures were taken, I was exhausted, and slipped into my sexy little outfit for the trip home, and as Rob helped me into the car for the ride home, I knew that thanks to the weather holding up, and the overcast day, that the pictures were going to be spectacular!.
