Before & After Tuesday #5

Welcome to a happy holidays version of Before & After Tuesday!

We spent 20 minutes the other night setting up for our Christmas picture in front of the tree. We set the camera on a tripod with a 10 second timer and used some off camera lighting. After getting our santa hats on and Aubs in her new holiday dress, we plopped down and started saying 'Cheese'. Aubrey has perfected her 'cheese' and loves to have her photo taken, even if no one is behind the camera! : )

Here is the straight out of camera shot:
I imported the image into Lightroom, lowered the exposure slightly, added some fill light, and boosted the contrast. After that I tossed the picture into Photoshop and touched up our skin slightly, then adjusted the saturation and color to warm it up slightly.

The final result is going to be our Christmas card for this year:
