Photographing kids comes with a unique set of challenges. The best portrait of a kid might be a quirky shot of a kid with a funny expression—not usually what you’re looking for in adult portraiture. When it comes to retouching, you’re more likely to be cleaning up a runny nose than softening wrinkles. In this course, photographer Erika Thornes shows how to review a kid photo shoot to find the best shot of the bunch. Then, she dives into Lightroom and Photoshop and details a variety of retouching challenges and solutions—including cleaning up that messy nose.

Topics include:

* Selecting and editing the hero shot
* Making a clean edit in Lightroom
* Adjusting exposure and white balance
* Cropping images
* Working with layers and masks
* Using Photoshop to remove stray hairs, brighten eyes, and remove scabs
* Swapping faces in Photoshop
