Portrait Shot Testing

I purchased an ePhoto background and light kit from Amazon with a 6x9 Black, White, and an extra grey and white muslin backdrop, it came with two stands and umbrellas that work as continuous light using household style bulbs. I have 2 flashes (430ex and Yunguno YN460) so the extra lights are just that as I plan to use my flash setup instead.

My wife got dressed for the day, and my Daughter was going out for a belated valentines day supper so I took the opportunity to take a few photos of them with the new setup.

I'm pleased with the results for the first pass and see a few spots I can do better like placement with the hair light flash but all in all i'm happy with the first attempt.

I tested a quick photoshop skin softening technique as well and I think everyone is pleased with the results.
