Thank you guys so much for commenting. It's always great to get feedback.

Can't think of any tips per sa. But, here's sorta my process.

I first throw the images in Ps for skin cleanup and distraction removal (if needed). I also run a very light portraiture mask while I'm there, before importing tiff into Lr. From there I have a personal custom Lightroom preset that I'm constantly tweaking. It's mostly tone curves, exposure, contrast, tiny bit of sharpening, and a touch of vignette to bring out the details on the edges. Everything I do in post is in very small increments to try and preserve the natural feel to the photo. That's all I can think of.

All I know is I spend way too much time in post. But, I have a lot of fun with it. So, it's no biggie to me.

I'm not much help, I know. Sorry. :/

I love the softness of these pics, it really makes a good picture great!
