Patricia, I also would go for one or three, mind the finger drawing though, it's sweet in a photo but I am not sure is good body language for a portrait (just my opinion).
I just wanted to add some suggestion for meeting the parents.
If you have time just bring along a sketch of the photo, and show several pics indicating the one you chose as your main source of inspiration.
This is a way to avoid them asking for the photo as a final likeness check, a very humiliating procedure that has happened to me once.
I know better now!
Good luck, I am sure with such a reference and your skills you will produce a very good work.
