Before and After

I have been thinking about this and I thought I should start a before and after segment. The camera does a good job of capturing the image but there is still a need to edit photos to make them really pop. I spend many hours editing pictures after a photo shoot. I think this is a neat way to let you take a peak of the magic that happens behind the scene.
Here is a before and after photo I took of my niece last week.
On the 'after' photo below:-
I adjusted the levels.
Corrected here eyes.
Added soft light.
Adjusted the contrast and curve levels.
Finally I also added a vignette using lens distortion.
