Sometimes a great photo just needs a little magic in post-processing to bring it to life—and this image is the perfect example of that!

This adorable moment between a brother and sister was captured during a summer mini session. I loved everything about it: the lavender blooms, the kids' natural giggles, and their sweet connection. But as you can see in the before image (left), the sky was a bit overexposed and flat, and the lighting didn’t fully reflect how the moment felt in real life.

With a few careful edits, the after image (right) brings everything to life. I softened and warmed the sky with hints of lavender and blush to complement the setting and their outfits. The greenery is more vibrant, the lavender blooms pop, and overall, the scene feels just as dreamy as the moment truly was.

I always strive to keep my edits true to life, enhancing the natural light and colors that are already there. My goal is to make your memories feel exactly how you experienced them—warm, joyful, and full of love.

If you’re ever curious about what kind of editing goes into your session or how images are polished before delivery, I love sharing the behind-the-scenes! These little tweaks are never about changing reality—they’re about honoring it and letting it shine.
