Color seems washed out

[Deinna]

I had a tough session yesterday this little guy was really fussy and sick. So it's not the best shot. But I'm having issues with the coloring of this photo. The backdrop I used was a blue and in this image SOOC it looks washed out. I use two soft boxes as lighting. I'm not an expert in Photoshop, I try to get the best shot possible so I have minimal editing. How can I fix this in post editing or improve my lighting so it's not washing my images out?

Hi Deinna, do you have another photo that shows what the backdrop should look like?

[Deinna]

These were taken with my phone, I hope They can give you an idea of the color.

You're worrying about nothing, I promise.  It's just how the lighting is.  In the two "sample" photos, your lighting is way too dark.

I've adjusted one of them so that the rug is the same as your photo.  See how the background becomes light?

Thank you for the help. I felt like I was using to much light and wanted to make sure that wasn't the case.

Not at all.  The lighting is lovely.
