Some old photos that got a touch up

A few months back I posted two photos of my younger cousin Erika on my facebook page but wasn't quite sure how I liked them. 

I wanted to capture Erika not everything else in the photo as well. The photos ended up coming out way too bright and there was too much background color so Erika wasn't the main focus in the photos anymore.

While playing around with the photos in photoshop, I discovered what I should have done those many months ago, made the photos sepia. By removing the bright colors and simply using the sepia tones, you are now able to focus on Erika and not the area surrounding her.
