This gal was absolutely perfect. 

I wanted to post a before & after set. The first one is literally out of the camera, obviously a little dark and you can see her flaky baby skin and baseboards.
I lightened her up, took out the flaws/baseboard via clone stamp, darkened the blanket, added a nice gaussian blur, but took it off of the hat. I cropped in and altered the levels for extra contrast.
A pretty basic edit, nothing too fancy or altering, but definitely better. Now, this still takes quite a bit of time…
Editing is the MAJORITY of the work a photographer does – if they are a fine art photographer.
Isn’t it amazing what you can do to make a photo look so much prettier!? Love this sweet babe.
