"Welcome! How are you doing today?" The Calvin Klein photographer, Calla asks. Tatum and Sadie both sit down in two chairs in the studio.

"A little nervous to be honest," Sadie chuckles. She brushes some hair out of her face as Tatum gives a light smile. The team from Calvin Klein will allow Tatum to participate and even keep the photos of her as long she doesn't post them on social media.

"What things are you nervous about? We want to make sure you both are as comfortable as possible," She asks.

"I'm just nervous about the whole thing," Sadie admits, "I've never done a shoot that's so... revealing."

Calla nods, "Yeah, it can be a bit intimidating. We won't start with you in just your underwear. We usually like to do like button-down shirts for everyone and some sort of unbuttoned pants. Then usually after we get some B-roll and photos, people begin to feel more comfortable to be able to take those pieces away. Does that make you feel a little less nervous?"

Sadie nods. Calla adds, "You get to go at your own pace, I won't force you to take off the clothing until you are ready."

"Okay, I think I'm ready," Sadie looks over at Tatum. The brunette nods, just going along with whatever Sadie is doing.

Calla stands up, "Great. Hey, Louie? They're ready."

Another woman comes over to greet the two, "Hi, I'm Louie, I'm going to be doing the wardrobe. We'll come over here to the changing rooms. Now, is there anything in particular that you want to wear over the underwear? I don't know if Calla told you about what we usually shoot?"

"She said button downs and that's fine with me," Sadie answers.

"Great! And forgive me for not knowing your name, but is there anything you would prefer to wear?" Louie asks. Tatum shakes her head.

"I'm Tatum. And nope, dress me however you want," She answers. Louie smiles.

"Great! Just give me one second here," She turns around to a couple of portable wardrobe racks, filled with shirts of different colors and sizes, "Remind me what size shirt you both wear?"

"A small," Sadie answers.

"Same," Tatum adds. Louie nods and pulls out one white long sleeve button down. She pulls out another but in black instead of white.

"I think it will look really good if you counter each other, for joint pictures," Louie explains, giving each girl their shirt. She then proceeds with bottoms, "Jeans okay?"

"Yeah," Tatum answers and Sadie nods. Louie gets their sizes and once again gives them their pieces of clothing.

"Alright, last but not least, the actual underwear," Louie says, turning to both of them, "I always let the client pick what they want to wear. You know your sizes and your style, so I will let you look through this table. Once you've picked something you like, you can go ahead and get changed. You also don't have to confine yourself to one set if you want to do multiple colors."

Louie leads both of the girls over to the selection and lets them loose. Sadie looks a little nervous about this part still.

"Hey," Tatum gets her attention, "Why don't you pick something for me and I'll pick something for you? If you don't like it you can switch."

Sadie gives a light smile at the idea, "Okay."

The two girls begin looking and it's a little easier since they aren't thinking about what they are going to wear. Once Tatum picks a set, she waits for Sadie to finish.

"Okay, show me," Sadie says, holding the underwear for Tatum behind her back. Tatum pulls out a matching black set with the iconic Calvin Klein white waistband on the sports bra and underwear.
