Those are fantastic shots! I know she’s “over the moon” happy with them. Very pretty girl!Me and my niece did a quick little shoot in the backyard on Christmas. She wanted something for Insta lol.

Here is another one of her. She moved slightly, but I think it’s still pretty good. 12 Pro night mode
12 Pro night mode. A lot of lens flare, but decent...
Just some from the camera roll over the past month and a half.
A single street lamp lightens up the surrounding trees on an icy night. Night shot, handheld (no tripod).

Yesterday when I took a similar photo I got that damn green spot. Do you know how to avoid that? The problem is when I imported it into Retouch and Snapseed, it altered the photo before I even had a chance to do anything. The photo looked better with the green spot than the Retouch version without.
I think you’re describing lens flare. If there is any bright lights in the frame, it will usually show up. I posted a pic a few posts above and it has a lot of lens flare. There isn’t much you can do about it, unfortunately....
You can sometimes change the angle of the shot to avoid it by taking the internal reflection in the lens elements that's causing the flare out of frame. If not, the healing brush in Photos (Mac) does a reasonable job of taking them out, or you can use the healing tool or clone stamp tool in Lightroom / your editing app of choice.
I didn't use Photos on my Mac, but I did try Snapseed and Retouch. The weird thing is, as soon as I imported the photo into either of them, it was altered. It was a night shot of the moon, and the stock photo looked pretty damn impressive. The only issue I had was the lens flare. I imported it into Snapseed/Retouch, and in both apps, the moon suddenly rather than being circular, it was almost... like a bright cross? And the bright area around the moon had a red band (kind of) around it. The apps very obviously did something to it on import. I must have imported it 10 times into each, and every single time it did the same thing. The weird thing is, the both of them! I don't know if I'm doing something wrong on import, but I feel like there's not much to mess up. So at the end of it, I had the stock photo with a lovely moon + lens flare, and the edited photo with a crappy looking moon but no more green spot. I also have Lightroom but you need a subscription to use the healing tool in it. Do you recommend another option besides the above to edit the photos? I really want something that doesn't mess with the photo.
Edit:
I just imported it again into Retouch, and this time the moon isn't as badly changed, but it is significantly dimmer in the one that was imported into Retouch. This time I didn't even edit out the spot. Literally imported it, and then exported it. Nothing else. I have it set to max quality and HEIC in Retouch.
