I've been playing a little more with my new light set and finally convinced my wife to stand in front of the camera for atleast a minute. I was playing with photo shop to try and get that 'glamour' type look. Just after people opinions or ideas on improvements! Thanks!

I like the pose in #1 and the smile in #2.

This isn't a hard/fast rule ... but generally for a more feminine look, you have them tilt their head towards the higher shoulder (as in #1). Whereas leaning towards the lower shoulder (as in #2) gives a little more of a masculine look.

P.S.
Tell her she's got gorgeous eyes!

I agree with dwterry... I also took the liberty of adding some "glam" to your images since you said that was what you were doing. I used Virtual Photographer's Radiant filter and also a tiny bit of DreamSuite's Dreamy Photo filter. I rotated the bottom image about 8 degrees clockwise and added in more background, and used the liquify filter to make her have a tiny bit more of smile...my PS skills aren't that great so it's just an idea. :)

I understand what you're saying there! The one of her smiling was more of a candid shot...she just started laughing and lent forward and that's how it happened!

I like how the skin looks soft. The first pose is better than the second, but add a smile to it and it will be perfect!

I was a bit concerned that the skin tones may be a little 'too' reddish. I have another version here which aren't quite as saturated as these 2.

Thanks for doing those Laurie! I need to learn how to use the liquify tool! I've seen some amazing things done with it!
