Further Nitpicks
Beth,
A. Make sure you keep the central focus on the extraordinary eyes and the strong arch of her eyebrows, everthing else should be secondary.
B. Make sure that the drape in the back is absolutely flat. You need a simple color plane, not additional folds to distract from the figure.
C. I always try to buy fabric in 3yd lenghts and 60" wide if possible. The wider width is great for 2 figures or lounging ones. They usually are upholstery lenghts, more expensive but I buy them in the basic background colors. I also use the most appropriate color for the picture, so I have had to compromise a bit sometimes. I use a background stand I got from a photo shop to hang the fabrics from. It holds backdrops up to 6', is portable and adjustable.
D. Now you won't have the time OR the money to feed your family. Relax, take your time, savor the experience.
Sincerely,
