 We went for a walk and when Cartesia saw the gazebo she immediate towards it and sat down. I asked her to pose and got a few quick shots and this was the best one where she was looking at the camera and it was in focus.

Beautiful girl! Like the treatment & soft colors. May have preferred to tight crop from left,right & bottom portion filling the frame with face only.

beguiling eyes for sure. The lighting is a little flat and the criss cross BG a bit distracting. good luck
