This photo is from Easter 2008, but we've been talking about needing to take her senior portraits for the past few months. Finally got some dates set up and hopefully we'll get to go out for our first round of photos this weekend!

-recovery

Opened in Photoshop CS3 to finish the editing:
-cropped to bring the focus of the photo on the little boy
-white/gray/black point color correct
-brightened eyes
-softened skin slightly
-small color pop on background & then blurred
-dodge/burn different areas of the photo
-did a little editing to give the whole photo a slightly different look than normal
-sharpened
