Extra Details:

This photographer loves to use Eye Doctor and Dentist Photoshop Actions, along with Magic Skin Photoshop Actions on most of her senior sessions.  In this case, she lowered the opacity on both action sets in order to make it look natural on the subject.

Used MCP Fusion Photoshop Actions to up the color intensity and give this a fun look.

Manual Edits included adding a layer of levels to brighten her face and a layer of curves to boost contrast.

The snow overlay is the final thing added to really make this feel like a winter senior session in her home state of Michigan.
