How to Achieve a Clean, Bright Edit

iheartfaces posted this tutorial on how to edit for a clean, bright photo. Sisters Stephanie and Tammy are the photographers behind Luminosity Photography and Design who wrote this great article. They give the settings used on their sample image then describe step by step how they edited it in both Lightroom and Photoshop. They crop, adjust the White Balance, set exposure, contrast and vibrance. then they use the luminance tab to even out the skin tones in Lightroom. Then bring the image into Photoshop for cloning or patching out blemishes. they show how to bring out the eyes, then make the image pop using a curves adjustment layer. 
As a bonus, they also give steps used to create a beautiful black and white edit. 
This tutorial is amazing!
