Soft Pastel Baby Photo Retouching

I have a series of baby portraits that need a gentle, polished touch. Every image should keep its natural charm while benefiting from professional-grade retouching. My priorities are clear: soften and even out the skin tone without losing texture, brighten the eyes and smile so they draw immediate attention, and make sure the outfits and little props look crisp and well-coordinated.

A soft pastel color palette is essential. Think muted, airy tones that evoke warmth and sweetness rather than bold saturation. If you work in Adobe Photoshop or Lightroom, that’s perfect—feel free to use frequency separation, dodge & burn, or any other non-destructive techniques you trust for baby photography.

Deliverables
• High-resolution, print-ready JPEGs (300 dpi) with consistent pastel grading
• Layered PSD or TIFF files so I can tweak minor details later if needed
• A brief note on any specific presets or actions you applied for color harmony

Please keep the natural skin texture intact, avoid plastic skin effects, and maintain realistic proportions. Turnaround within a week would be ideal, but let me know if you need a bit more time. I’m happy to answer any questions before you dive in.
