Description

This is one of my favorite models, Melinda. We had a fun little photo shoot yesterday out around our neighborhood. I worked with the curves and hue/saturation on this one to get a high key effect, with pastel tones and high saturation on the blues. Shot in manual mode, F4.5, and shutter @ 1/320.
