I love a good black and white conversion. There’s just something about the monochrome effect that can give a photo extra drama and a sense of timelessness. To get this look, I used Adobe Lightroom and adjusted the exposure a bit before using the “Creative - B&W High Contrast preset”. I increased the blacks for more texture, hit the vignette a bit more and then added another preset called “General - Punch” for more definition. That’s it!

I love Sophie’s chubby little hands. Sometimes I call them little “big” hands because they look like they belong to a much older child!
