Edit Me Challenge




It has been so, so, so long since I participated in one of these challenges! Last night when I was catching up on some blog reading (wowza was I behind...way, way behind. sorry friends!) I saw the preview post on my friend Branson's blog and I decided to try my hand at the image. Let me tell you this image was so inspirational...and I had so much fun with it! (Thanks for supplying the image & judging this week Andi!!)


My steps:
1) Sharpened the image
2) Curves layer to brighten the shadows up a bit
3) Got rid of what looked like bruises on the leg
4) Adjustment layer to pop the color on the dress & cute shoes
5) Added a little haze to give it a vintage look
6) Finally I added a texture layer and masked off the little sweetie so it wasn't on her. 

Isn't this just the sweetest photo?!? AHHH I LOVE it!


Make sure to head over to the Edit Me Challenge website to check out the other great edits and possibly do one yourself!!

    wow, wow! LOVE this edit and how you captured exactly the feel I was going for when I shot it. You're right, lots of bruises on this little girl's legs--she's a wild one! Thanks for joining in the fun!
