Photos and using photos as a reference is new to me. My experience with clients, thus far, has been mixed. Some prefer to make the decisions and others care not. I love when the client says "You're the artist, use your own judgment as to what will look good". If the client prefers to make the choice then I would edit all the photos, crop and such at home. Then when again with the client, I would first suggest the reference photos I like and explain why. At the same time I would bring a few charcoal studies, three at the most, in order to take their mind from the photos and to the art.
