color adjustments

I'm going to try something new this post....a behind the scenes editing before and after!  Something great to keep in mind if you have a cute prop or clothing that doesn't exactly match the look and feel you are going for, there is a way to tweak the color in photoshop to make it look more consistent. 

In one of the examples below, for a 1st birthday shoot Hadley's mommy and daddy brought an adorable red wagon.  To help match the cute light pink bow and bloomers I adjusted the wagon to match the color scheme....you don't realize what a difference it makes until you do a side by side set up.  

Another example is from yesterday right before picture day.....the yellow boots were not part of the plan, but with the rain pouring down we had no choice.  For fun, we turned them pink to match the dress and love the final output!  

Some colors are too light or too dark to adjust and not look funny, but it's great for bright accents.  Looking forward to the upcoming photoshoots I have this weekend and keep this in mind as you are planning out your color scheme!
