Fix-it Friday | Raleigh Newborn Photography

Looks like I'll be making it just under the wire this week, but I really loved this submission taken by contributor Rachel Durik.

Look how sweet this little model is!


For such a lovely portrait, I wanted to keep it simple. And, to tell you the truth. I get tired of playing with actions {{gasp}}!

For this edit I exclusively played with the adjustments tab (you know, the one that looks like a black and white cookie???), moving the sliders and simply tweaking until I was satisfied with the results. I also used the clone stamp just to help smooth and brighten under her eyes without covering her adorable freckles.


A quick black and white conversion as well. 

We're talking 5 minutes tops for all of this goodness, people!


Go. Play. Have fun... :)

Fabulous. Love your work with the color photo. :) Her lipstick was difficult for me to like, and you made it look great!
