When painting my own son I have gone for the straight-on face, so I'm as guilty as my clients.

But the more examples of paintings like this, the more I think people will take the chance themselves. Many times when I talk with prospective clients, I describe the work as "custom fine art that your kids are in", which seems to help them think of the potential a portrait can be.
