The discussion goes in here Helping hands

 

My Steps:

Color correction (red color cast)

Blurred background (busy background)

Straighten image (leaning lines)

Glamor edit (marks and spots removed, nails fixed, eyes, lips...)

Soften, Sharpen, Framing

Cyan pop up.

 

I will post the big file for you Carrie.

She's so beautiful. Thank you for letting us play with such adorable image.

 

You did actually ask help with RAW workflow. Check out Russel Brown's RAW tutorials. Here's one of them, av.adobe.com/russellbrown/ACRWorkflow_SM.mov , but check out his site www.russellbrown.com/tips_tech.html.
