Before/After Blog Hop

I have wanted to participate in Monica's Before/After Blog Hop , showing off our edited photos for some time and finally sat down to play with this photo and see what I could do.

These are dear family friends and we were celebrating Aspens Birthday. Of course David looks cute, but he isn't part of the birthday kiss that I wanted to capture.

                    Straight Out Of Camera (SOOC)

                    Edited

I used my PSE to crop and rotate a little. Then I used a new favorite action - Coffee Shop Denim. I wanted to keep the blue in her shirt. 
To join this fun blog hop, here are the rules:
"The rules: Show your SOOC shot and then your edited one. Be sure to link back to Pixel Perfect. Share with us what editing program you used and link up below! (when sharing with us what program please don't just say photoshop. Clarify whether you are talking about photoshop elements of photoshop cs4, thanks) I used cs4 with a little texture."
