Commissioned Portrait - Little Girl with Pearls

Preliminary scketch

'Little Girl with Pearls' is the older sister of 'Little Boy with Bow Tie'. She is five years old and a true blessing to her parents. "Her beautiful, eccentric, independent soul is a true light in my life" says her mother.

Amongst the several shots I was given, I chose this one because it felt like something had caught her attention, right before the click of the camera. Like her brother, she has blonde hair and crystal blue eyes. Three and five years old - heart melting.
