At Sammi's Sweet Sixteen, we shot her formal photos at the Segundo Barrio to use the graffitti'd walls as a colorful background. When I saw Sam show a more serious face, I decided to get this photo of her exiting her limo.

"Haze" added to the photo to make it look more "dreamy", color was de-saturated to make a lighter image, then added a slight blue tint to bring up the pink in her skin and dress. Several background objects were deleted in post (a window crack, a purse, and the bouquet on the floor) to delete distractions.
