a slightly more polished version with 'advanced editing' is here
I did this shot in kind of a hurry as my models are not so mobile anymore.
I set the shutter speed to max flash sync (1/250) and the ISO to 100.
I then made a guess of the aperture and flash output (to bounce off ceiling) and fired off this shot.
Then took two more, but they was not as good as this one!

So intimate, so wonderful! Frame it and post it on your wall! Do you know them? If they are your parents, you should feel proud of this picture! Lovely!
Great shot, and good use of b&w to highlight the details and textures. Skin tones seem a touch dark though, as though you applied a blue filter or some similar effect. Like it a lot though, 7.
This is a great capture. Love the expressions. I think the faces could have benefited from a little lightening (eg using the "fill light" option in LR or ACR). This technique would have helped you keep from losing the detail in the hair.
