Lovely family and some head shots

My friend is a doctor who is being honored w/an award..she needed a headshot (how'd I do?) and then her family jumped in... fun shoot :)

These are great Kristine. The only nit is I would have liked to see a little more room on the left of the first shot, so she's leaning into the frame and not out of it.

The first family picture (#3) is georgeous! You did a great job posing this beautiful family with nice diagonals.

You did a good job iwth the posing, etc. but the black background makes the lady look bald. Maybe more hairlight in the future OR a different color background??? I love the pic of the couple...looks so genuine and unposed!!

Thanks everyone. Steve, I can re-crop the headshot...thanks for the advice. Nvrl8, you're right! I do need a hairlight. I will see what I can do to add more definition. And this couple is so sweet... I have some others of the two of them that are so cute. Thanks again.

Maybe my machine is not showing properly but I think a lil tweaking would help blend the background a bit more:

Thanks Valerism... what did you do to the photos? Is it just noise reduction? Thanks

A little noise ninja, a little levels... didn't have to do much the noise ninja really helped a lot. I do my ritualistic adjustments like I am sure eveyone else does just to make the picture look the way I like them to look and I just hope other's like the same "look" I do :) The major change really occured by the noise ninja and the levels though :)

Thanks again. :)
