I took this photo of Esme on the Jetty in Oak Bluffs into the sun and I knew that it was going to turn out dark, but she was just so cute. I figured I’d just delete it later.

Turns out, my phone has lots of interesting ways to manipulate photos. I scrolled through many of the standard options and found this one. It was really the only one that could lighten up her face and (kind of) fix my subpar photography.

I don’t usually have the time or interest in playing around with photo features but I really like how this one turned out.
