i finally found someone to do a portrait of the girls (after my fiasco with a portrait class a few years back, i decided to let a pro do it) all i can say is what an experience this was. i cant recommend the artist i found, emily balivet, enough. she was so sweet and helpful, she sent me works in progress and i saw the painting go from a black and white sketch to the very end. fun fun fun!
the photo picking process was soooo hard. either one girl was fussy or the light wasnt right or just something didnt work. in the end, i decided on this one because it truly represents the girls right now. one looking off giggling and one focused with a smile (missing teeth and all)
here is the finished piece, ready for framing. what a wonderful experience!
OMG, it's awesome!! i would totally love to have one made of katie. gonna have to do some research of my own now. where will you put the portrait?
