'To the world, you are a mother, but to me, you're still my world.'
Like mot other holidays, the weeks leading up to Mother's Day are heavily commercialized. Ads for Mother's Day specials on flowers, on jewelry, on candy and on brunches. Peter wanted to do something special for his wife Megan this Mother's Day, something she wouldn't forget. They'd only been married a little over a year, and with their new baby boy just a few months old, this was going to be Megan's first Mother's Day.
The problem, Megan wasn't really in the mood to celebrate. She hadn't taken to mothering quite as well as most of her friends. Add to that, they'd recently moved for Peter's new job, and she had not family or supports near by. She was lonely, depressed and didn't consider spit-up a welcomed accessory. Megan loved her husband, and still craved his touch, but he worked close to 12 hrs a day and traveled almost every second weekend.
Peter had an idea though, one he knew was risky. It was also an idea that might help Megan feel like her old self. Although not a professional model, Megan had done some local advertising, and catalogue modeling when she and Peter were first dating. She even had a Model Mayhem page, and made decent money doing lingerie, and even nude modeling work. Although she stopped when she and Peter got engaged, Peter remembered how much she enjoyed it, and how energized and confident she was after a shoot.
New to the area, Peter hit the yellow pages, the newspaper and on-line job ads looking for a photographer. It was there, he saw an ad from George, (
Random Exposures) who was looking for models in the area. Peter quickly got in touch, and he and George quickly connected. Peter was especially impressed with how quickly George understood the assignment, and Peter's desire to for wife to to feel loved and special.
Megan was thrilled when she opened up her envelope on Mother's Day morning. Although Peter and George had thought the shoot might occur sometime during the summer, Megan was anxious to get back in front of the lens as soon as possible. After arranging for one of Peter's co-workers to watch the baby for a couple of hours, a time was set for the following Saturday for Megan's shoot.
As the week went on, Megan's nerves began to take over. She didn't know George, and although Peter spoke highly of him she was thinking of backing out. She also wasn't as confident about her body as she was before the baby and wasn't sure she wanted to bare her post-baby body for the camera. Peter encouraged her to go, if only to see how comfortable she was after meeting George. Megan eventually decided she needed to face her anxieties, and follow-through with the shoot.
When she arrived however, the nerves again took over. She liked George instantly, and managed to change into her black, lace lingerie, but felt a little uncomfortable. She wasn't sure she wanted to shoot nude with her clothed husband looking on. Peter suggested he wait in the other room, but as you might have already guessed, George had another idea....
