Not too much that I can do about the light background, except wait for another day.
What did you end up setting your lighting on to get the right light?
I wound up using the spot meter on my camera. Then in Elements, I opened it up a bit.
I was shooting RAW, so I had some room to open it up a bit.
Shooting raw?? What is that? Do you use PC or MAC with raw?

The simplest explanation is, RAW is the unprocessed digital image file created by the camera. It contains all the data gathered by the digital image sensor and other data added by the cameras micro processor.

Raw lets you change any setting quality at any time you want. Non-destructive.
That said, you need a program to do it. Any DSLR or mirrorless will come with a program. Or Photoshop element ($60) along with Lightroom ($150) are the most common programs.
There are many conversations here about the programs, I don't want to start a war on the merits of each, but they are both good.
