Considering, that it is ME and MY baby in the picture, I didn't have much control over what was being seen from behind the camera.
I had painted a portrait similar for my mother of my sister in law and her daughter several years ago. While I was visiting last weekend, Liza and I were outside that morning and they took several pictures of us playing. While doing so, my mother commented how much she would like a portrait of us like the other one. So my SIL pulled out her Nikon and shot away. She in general takes excellent pictures so I was HOPING.
Funny to me how people always say how hard babies are to paint, I find it the other way around, and I have NEVER painted myself so that makes me nervous
Anyway, they live in another state and I don't really know anyone that can even figure out where the button on the camera is much less be helpful in setting us up, so maybe this wasn't meant to be.
