Maternity Portraits

[shera426]

This is my 3rd session of maternity portraits. I am definately a newby and in need of some help with this picture. The lady brought a sample picture (the larger of the 2 pics) that she wanted to duplicate and I can't figure out in how to do it with photoshop elements 6...?? I don't know how to change the skin tone or give it that "dreamy" look.
Thanks so much everyone...
I will post the other pictures we took later

There is a number of actions available for free by opticVerve labs. I love them and there are many that would give you this look! http://www.optikvervelabs.com/
