Caroline arrives and gets ready

Caroline arrived a few minutes ahead of schedule. Danny was delighted that she looked almost exactly like her picture. It was surprising how often models didn't look like their photos -- so much touching up and Photoshop, everyone created these weird warped images that looked almost like them, but not really. In Caroline's case, the only thing that seemed different was that she was so much taller than he expected. Easily 5'10", and not because of the 4" wedges she had on. Caroline saw Danny's stuff, and came over to him. They exchanged pleasantries, and she hung up her personal wardrobe stuff on the side of Danny's cabinet.

"Nice to meet you face to face, Caroline." Danny extended a handshake, which Caroline returned.

"This is a great location, Danny," she said. "I've never been to this side of the park, but it's beautiful. I love the flower garden, seeing the city in the distance."

"It's quite inspiring. I'm looking forward to seeing what it brings out in you." He smiled at her, expecting her to demur and close off a little.

Instead, she smirked right back, taking ownership of the confidence. "I've got plenty to bring out." She shook the hair out of her face and smiled more broadly. "I've been looking to rebuild my portfolio for a while, and I hope today is that day."

"Sounds excellent. Let's get started."

Caroline had arrived in yoga pants and a t-shirt, but showed Danny two sun dresses she had in mind for the first look. One was yellow with blue and purple flowers. The other was dark red with an abstract yellow and white pattern on the lower portion. "Let's start with the red," he suggested. He gestured to the portable changing booth, and Caroline laughed.

"You can't be serious." She shook her head and stepped toward the folded screens instead. "This is way better. You should throw away that other thing."

Caroline took her red dress into the folded screens. She stood nearly a foot above the top of the screens. Danny was about the same height. He glanced at her as she stepped behind the screen, and then he busied himself with getting ready for pictures. Caroline was generally comfortable with herself, and didn't really mind changing into the dress here in the semi-open. The screens were high enough and no one was going to see her naked bits. She probably wouldn't care if they did, but the point of today wasn't a strip show.

She peeled off her yoga pants, and pulled the t-shirt over her head. She wore no underwear -- she never did. She stepped into the red dress, drew the string-like straps over her shoulders, zipped the back, and emerged from the screens.

"What do you have in mind for shoes?"

Danny looked at her, and then down at her feet. "The wedges you had before were pretty nice, actually. Though if you want to go barefoot, that's fine too." Even without shoes, Caroline's legs were very long and lean, and Danny admired the strength of her lower legs.

Caroline shrugged. "I'll start with them, maybe later I'll take them off."
