Hi David,
Your wife reminds me so much of Alphonse Mucha's Art Nouveau models that I just had to post one of his works.
I would encourage you to really paint something wonderful with her - lots of fabric and an imaginative setting and pose. (Personally, I'm dying to put somebody in a 'Mucha' pose.) Take lots of time setting it up and working out photography problems. It will make you more experienced (and opinionated) when you have clients lining up at your door. You'll have more fun with the painting if you take it a little bit out of the ordinary, and you certainly have the technical skill to carry off anything you can dream up.
I'll admit the crown is a little much. I guess that's all part of being Mucha.
