Example 1
Example 2

I don't know who the photographer is, I was just looking up ideas for photos with a friend of mine when she comes down to visit and I ran across this image and liked the effect that was given to it.

Any idea on how this is achieved? Is it in camera? Photoshop? Both?

It's an after effect.
Play with the exposure and brightness simultaneously.

It's both in camera and photoshop

In camera its obvious that both were strongly backlit and then there was a relflector or flash used as fill for the front.
The post processing would either to use a premade filter in color efex pro or lightroom. Or mess around with it yourself in photoshop, adjust exposure, brightness and saturation until you got the effect you are after.

That's what I am looking for. I knew there had to be a way to get most of that in camera.

I will look into other ways to get that effect when I get the photos onto my computer and into my photoshop elements.

Thanks, guys! :D

The second example reminds me of a vintage filter look

Similar to the "Polo Ralph Lauren" preset for Lightroom

google: "fashion cross processing tutorial" will give you a good start. It's basically this:

tint image yellowish (though your linked images don't look too tinted, but a little)
reduce saturation
reduce contrast

It's more complicated than that, but that's the jist

As some have already mentioned, it is basically cross-processing and that is nothing but shifting the color channels in curves in photoshop then play with the saturation and contrast, but if you want a quick result, NIK has this stuff pretty much built in. Under cross processing, select the L07, then apply a tiny bit of the Ink filter. Play with their amounts and it should give you a similar result.
