    Thank you all. :)
    I was following her out onto the balcony for a smoke, and when she turned around I had my camera ready. SNAP! She wasn't angry, but surprised. She looked at me immediately afterwards with a slightly embarrassed & confused look on her face of the, "WHY would you want to shoot that??" variety.
