Since taking the portraiture class, it seemed the perfect time to practice with some familiar faces. These will be Christmas gifts for my family.

This seven year old is dear to me, and I wanted to make her as beautiful as she is in reality. (inside and out) It was painted from a photo. I could not imagine her sitting still long enough for me to do a sitting.

This is her four year old sister on a Christmas morning when she was actually getting tired of opening gifts. I think it can be a little overwhelming.
