HI Patty,
I think that is the right decision.
If you plan on an outdoor setting for the painting, just get a sheet or fabric backdrop that is a mid- value desaturated green against which to photograph everyone. That will allow you to drop ion foliage, etc, without any difficulty.
Be sure to use a tripod, and do not change its height or its position relative to the light source, then you can marry up parts of different photos seamlessly. Good luck!

Thanks for the good idea Chris. Unfortunately I do not have the indoor equipment for my photo shoot today, but I do have my new Nikkor55-200mm lens for photographing twins, both boys and 5 years old. If I don't get anything I will reschedule as I have with the other family for indoor photography. Will I always feel so inept with a camera???????

Not too long ago that's how you felt about painting in oil, right? Malcolm Gladwell says to achieve mastery you need 10,000 hours of practice. Eventually it will become second nature.

I told you the longer lens would pay dividends. Didn't quite expect it to happen so soon. ;-)
