The background is not very attractive of course, Joséphine was trying to help me cooking, but she had such a lovely look I had to "click" that moment...

Could somebody take her out of my kitchen and set her against a nicer background? :o)))

Photoshop manipulation: clipped Josephine from original image and added as another layer to new photo with toys. Desaturated both new layers and gave each a sepia tone. Gave Josephine a soft drop shadow to help her blend into new photo. Added border. Unfortunately, I made my new image a little small so the new image is a little bit rough. Josephine has a such classic beauty I thought she would look perfect in the sepia tone. Hope you like it... :)

Is this something that you were looking for?
I even used one of your own photos for the background.

I did so many things to the photo, but here is the simplified version:

Selected Joséphine using the pen tool in photoshop. Added a 2 pixel feather on the selection, and pasted her into your background photo. Then for a soft colour, I applied a "2 O'clock Spotlight" on her, to blend in with the time that the background shot was taken.

I really hope you like it, and it was what you were looking for. :) ENJOY

Just for fun, not really serious, a quick workshop. Cloned her with the lasso tool, and as you wished, gave her a nicer background. I think she posting you a letter.
