Yes, I changed the image to B&W in Photoshop and cover the background area by using a black paintbrush in Photoshop. I also enhanced the hair by painting it in PSIn my camera bag

Just have your camera ready for these moments. I have been photographing Cassa Marie since she was 4 (she is now 21) and so it helps to have a natural relationship with your subject to where they are comfortable with you nearby and have become complacent about a camera being pointed at them. Cassa is also a natural though and never stops to 'pose' which I think ruins the mood. She appears in my pictures as she really is in life which speaks more to the viewer than a subject who is self conscious and looks like they are being photographed. I have been fortunate to have such a natural 'model' living near by and one who loves the whole process!
