A new member of the family--(soon)

We had an exciting weekend here and I wanted to share the news. Daughter No. 3 got engaged last night. We love the young man and are excited he will be joining our family on November 19. Here are a couple of shapshots of the happy event last night.



My daughter the "ham"--she is even getting her more serious fiance into the act.

Just snapshots--but I think that recording family memories are the best thing a camera can be used for!!!

I am still struggling with the color profile thing. I just can't seem to get my two monitors configured the same even with an Eye-one, so still not sure which one has more accurage color.

How do the skin tones here look to you--please be honest, I am trying my hardest to figure this out. Heather has an olive complexion and Beau is more fair--but both are tan.

 

Thank you Leigh. We just love the young man. His family has a dairy farm--and this boy knows how to work!!! It is a happy time for us.

 

Hi Frank. You are always so kind in your comments. I'm sure there will be lots more documentary on the whole wedding process here before the event is over. Hope you all don't get tired of it.

 

Hi Scott--where do you live in Utah? My daughter in these pictures has been a BYU student for the past two years, although she will be transferring to BYU Idaho in January. I have another daughter who lives in Lehi, and a sister in Salt Lake City.

By the way, this is a very nice young man. His family owns a dairy farm here in southeastern Idaho. He knows how to work hard. We feel so lucky to be getting him in our family. His family is fantastic to my daughter, so everyone is happy.

 

Thanks Nick. My daughter is always making me chuckle. She loves to laugh and is quite a comic.

 

Re: The skintones look great, but

We'll have to work on keeping the eyes wide open. I think he sort of has a natural squint anyway. He is a very good looking guy. 6'7" tall. I hope I can show that in the pictures. It will be a challenge photographing them together. He is 15" taller than my daughter.

 

Hi VinceBeus. It will be fun taking their pictures during the engagement. They want me to make a photo video to show at their reception. I think it will be a fun project!!! Thanks for your comments.

 

Gordon.
Thanks for letting me know how the skin tones look to you. I have two monitors, one on a laptop and the other an LCD. I calibrated them, but just can't get them both to look the same. My laptop, that I use all the time, has quite a bit of red in the skin tones. Just wondering if they look ok to others. I hope you can give me advice on shooting engaged and newly married couples. I know you have done some of it. I will hire a wedidng photographer, but still want to do some of my own.

He is 15" taller than her. I need advice on shooting couples that are so different in height.
