Hailey

At the GreySave picnic that I had posted some photos about earlier, I had a session to do with Hailey (aka "Bubba"). What a great girl she is. She was so easy to work with. Hilary (her owner), Hailey, and I walked a little ways away from the vendor area and stood under the numerous shade trees in the park. I had only 30 minutes or so to get something decent.

I  liked her appearance here:

...and particularly liked how she looked here:

But sometimes I can't leave well-enough alone, so in Lightroom I made a virtual copy of the original picture's virtual copy and added a faded photo preset:

I think I like how this came out better.

She has the biggest "heart" marking ever:

At the very end of the session she decided she wanted to go rolling in the grass and leaves on the ground. She enjoyed herself so much that she lost her head:

I had fun with her, and I hope to book a longer session with her soon.
