Lisa,
I agree with Michelle on this one. Since you did get some nice shots of them individually, I would explain to the mother that she would end up with a portrait less than perfect if you tried to merge the pictures, and that you think two individual ones would be much better. She was there, she saw what you went through. Explain that you either need to do two separate portraits based on what you have or have another shoot to try to capture a great reference of the two of them together then leave it up to her.
Good luck, I pretty much only paint children so I definitely know what you are dealing with.
