I, too, am "vertically challenged" and the first time I photographed a six-foot-three man for a portrait I realized I needed a tall tripod for my camera (I work from photos) and a stepladder for me. I didn't want "nostril" portraits, either!
As for painting from life, yes, definitely, get or build yourself an artist's stand or have your models sit on a shorter chair. Whatever it takes to get yourself and the model to the height you like.
