Interesting concept and a question.
Recently a rash of family pictures and a self portrait have achieved some new recognition and self awareness. Sage advice had suggested the familiar and beloved might not be the best to practice with, as they can be very frustrating for the very reason you are suggesting to fall in love. The intimacy not realized can break a novice, but I belive when the basics are established you must understand, have interaction and portray that uniqueness of the individual.
The very best of my work, whether I actually do know them, are constantly discussed for their personality. That is not achieved by being aloof.
