Lighting was one hair light, one light at 45 on each side.
The plan was to take a sp of me in a strapless dress, when the cat jumped in my lap, i took the advantage of lettign her stat in the shot.
This is almost straight from the camera with adjustments for highlight and shadow. Cropped to above the dress as my bra showed.
Focus was done by setting a strobe in the seat and then trying to stay in the same plane.

Honestly this was my favorite shot of the whole bunch. I had no idea this was you. You are beautiful and I love that you weren't afraid to show yourself to us all as you did! So many people (including myself) expect to see beauty that comes from a front page magazine, but how many of us out there look like that? Beauty comes from the eye of the beholder and to me you are beautiful!
Very nice light and great job on the focus! I like that you included the cat - makes it very personal in my opinion. Very lovely portrait of both of you!
