It Has Been Awhile - Day 15

I know it has been awhile.
I'm photo edit-less right now.
It's sad.
VERY sad.
I've been planning a Milk and Cookies 1st Birthday.
With spreadsheets.
Don't laugh.
We tried out these cupcakes.
VERY sweet.
Too much.
Waaay better cold.
Cute, though.
But, cute just isn't enough.
Here is an unedited photo.
Because I'm still edit-less.
Sadly.

Day 15

I'm getting better at Lightroom. Well...at least I think so. I'm liking how I'm editing - and really that's all that matters!

Day 14

Dude. I know it has been awhile. But, I've got a cute one today.

Unedited

Edited lots...here is a list of what I did:
Removed lots of spots on her forehead and nose
Lightened skin using the brush and dodge lighten (forehead)
Changed the saturation to lighten a little more and blend in forehead
Softened skin
Saturation in dress
Clarity in dress
Saturation in grass
Clarity in grass
Clarity in hair and eyelashes
Smoothing of skin with noise reduction
Vignette to darken edges

Holy crap!! I loaded this one up with edits. On the Mac - it looks so cute!! I'm wondering what it looks like on other computers....

Day 13

Almost walking...and watching her brother and sister down below playing in the sand. I edited this one a lot. Charlotte had some scratches on her face, she was red and blotchy and the lighting messed up the colors a bit. The third picture I added my favorite preset in Lightroom called Bleach Bypass. I love the old school, sepia-ish, rockstar-y, film-y look it gives.

Edited - removed scratches, lightened, softened skin, got rid of some red in skin

Edited and added my favorite (for this week) preset - Bleach Bypass.

Day 12

Nothing like a little taste of dirt. Funny thing is...she kept going back for more. Maybe I'm missing out??!!
