Farrah this is great, thank you so much for sharing! I do have a question on post editing, I love that your pictures are clear, bright and simple. Not a lot of heavy editing which to me I think makes a picture look weighed down (like wearing too much makeup) and fake. What software do you use, if you don't mind me asking. I have CS4, Lightroom2 and PSE6 that I use but I can never seem to get my images to look "fresh". With eyes, I've selected them and sharpened to try and brighten them and use the clone tool to blend blemishes, but sometimes it looks too processed.
Thanks!
Kristina
