A newspaper portrait is sometimes difficult, you don't want to do too much to take away from the realness of the person and you try to show something of the personality and the bigger story you're telling. Heather loves her cows and this is a special cow to her. I wanted some sort of interaction without guiding her too much. I don't want to suggest hugging or kissing the cow if its not something she would do naturally. There were some hugs, but the look on Heather's face in this picture I felt told the story best.
