THanks Alicia, I agree. A mood reflected in a portrait means everything to me too. Isn't it funny how different we all are and our ideas such as the mother of your client sees her child differently of course than we do. Now will you keep those photos? And can you use them at all in the future for simply painting of a little girl in a setting of your choice or is that illegal or unethetical as an artist???
I cannot wait to see your "tecnical" photo clues. The dress has a wonderful color qualities to it in the photo. Love that lighting.
