Lovely photo

Hi Kim,

I think this is a lovely photo, their personalities really shine. I like the way the light falls on their faces too!

I think you should omit that vertical post behind them, you probably already know that.

She's 84? Wow, she looks fantastic. She looks great just as she is, but I know how sensitive people are about their weight. It's a tough call, you change them too much and they don't look like themselves, don't you think? I've read some about this on the forum and I find it interesting. But, you do have to please the client. The only place I think might present a challenge is your mother-in-laws right cheek/jowl (as we view her). Maybe you could darken that to make that part less prominent, I don't know, it'll be interesting to see how you handle that, I know you'll come up with a great solution. Do you see where I mean? She may feel like that chin/jowl makes her look fat.

Again, great photo and this is a lovely photo. Get to work!

Joan

P.S. I didn't even notice his leg was thin at all. He just looks like a tall slender man.
