I posted this photo on our Kiwi Krossings missionary blog, but thought I'd post it here as well, since I rarely post family photos:
Here we are ready to go to a fancy
dress ball put on by our stake. Missionaries, however, rarely bring
ball gowns on a mission (haha), so the best we could do was for me to
wear a black suit and for Jeff to wear what he wears every day,
(although I thought the kiwi tie was a nice touch). I haven't taken
many photos of us together so I thought I'd take a quick one before our
guests, (fellow missionary couples), came to dinner prior to the
dance.
For those of you interested: I set
my camera on a tripod, (with a diffuser on my flash to soften the
light), and we stood in front of a plain gray wall. I tweaked the
white balance to make the color 'warmer' and then I added a textured
background so it wasn't quite so boring. A few other tweaks and in 2-3
minutes I was done. I kinda like the color wash look.
