Thanks Jeri! I love editing as much as taking the photos. I think I finally found my "style" so to speak. Seem to keep using the same workflow and loving the look. :)

Gorgeous! I love how pink her lips look in the color edit. You achieved that drama that I wanted in your black and whites. Great job!

I love them all, but that second edit is so pretty and I had not noticed all the color in the background! Seems like in your edit there are 50 different colors of green that all blend nicely together.
