Thanks again for all the great comments. Let me try to address some individual comments/questions throughout this thread:
ddash1985 - She's a size 8... A very soft size 8.
itotallylovebarefeet - It's a Canon Rebel T3i.
goodguyneighbor - Thanks. Your quality has always been top notch. I've been wanting to larger on the files too lately, but I'm still trying to toe the line between big and too big. While I love a shot I can see every detail, I also dislike that in the same respect. Trying to find that middle ground between size, file size, download time (for non-wifi mobile users), and ease of view (limited scrolling to see the sweet spots). It's not easy to please everyone.
Red_Fox - They tasted normal, although with a hint of the lotion I rubbed into them prior to each shoot. I haven't had much time to experience that since they were underage feet only 2 days prior to shooting these sets. LOL... She shot the day after her 18th birthday. As for selling items, I don't think I ever will. Once my site is redesigned, the store is going bye bye. I never used it and don't want the hassle of having girls fall through on items if someone wants them. It's hard enough to schedule shoot time. I can only imagine trying to collect three pairs of socks from someone. LOL
Tadpole in a Jar - Before we got together for this last minute shoot the day after her birthday we had discussed shoot ideas for when she could shoot. We have already planned on doing some sets at a beach resort town where she can wear a few bikinis she's been telling me she wants to wear.
To everyone else: Your comments have really made Aspen excited to pose again. She's loving the feedback and is so happy that people are so excited to see her first set go up next week.

Yes that is major overkill, even this size is large but at least the quality is there. Skin tones still get splashed though, a very common occurance in outdoor photography.

I usually bump some slight coloration while in Photoshop to give cooler images a warmer feeling, or brighten indoor lighting. I'll still take shooting outdoors every time over indoor. Although I like controlling my scenes inside, there is just something so kick ass about having a neat background not found in other people's photos.

Yeah I do as well add some warmth here and there and do prefer outdoor to indoor since the coloration looks much better with natural lighting. The same old boring park bench or scenic tree backgrounds do the trick everytime, then again no one really looks at it anyway which was a rediculous non-argument from the past.

Wow - Aspen looks lovely...and of course so do her feet. Up there with Carlin and Ryan for me. A shoot with the gorgeous Ryan sounds great. Oh and do Aspen's feet smell good Patrick ?

I disagree. Sites where the models sit on the same couch, put their feet on the same table top, etc. in every single shoot aren't my favorites. I'm not saying they don't take good photos, or have great poses, but sites that incorporate creative scenes or locations always appreciated by me. Even if I use the same locations, I always try to make them look different or shoot them at different angles. I probably do put too much time into finding locations, but I think it makes my photography and product better than if I didn't.

Sounds like people are really enjoying Aspen. Five more days until her first full set goes online. I'll have to be sure to pick different preview shots so you all have something new to look at as well.

P.S. We set a date to go to the beach this month. Going to do a day of photos and get a few in with her in a bikini, I am sure.
