These are little freckle faced, fair skinned girls. The ONLY processing I did was attempt to correct some white balance issues (that has been a challenge for me) and to lighten some shadows. That's all I did. These pictures are not overprocessed.
I'm sorry, I really don't mean to offend, I'm saying that I think your camera's saturation settings for jpeg (I'm making the assumption you are shooting in jpeg) are set higher than I'd prefer. From JUST looking at the pictures, without any exif info, I'd say it looks like Canon Vivid settings, which in my very personal taste, are too strong. I see from your sig it's actually Nikon, so what do I know!

*Edit, to emphasize* What I again want to reiterate though is that it's constant for all pictures. If she doesn't like them, she shouldn't like any. Being selective means her opinion is motivated by something other than the color of the lips.
