Amy,  for the hair colour I went with what I was presented with and tinted.. rather than change it completely.  She is photographed in sunlight and her hair is glistening in the sun  ;D

On some people hair colour can change as the grow up.
My brother and OH were both really blonde as children but changed to dark brown...  Without photos you would never imagine that either were little blondies as kids.

To make her hair darker I would have to change the lighting and over saturate, it wouldn't look natural and if you then placed the before and after side by side it would look really odd!
