This was a portrait that was commissioned by this girl's parents after she had passed away at at a young age. Needless to say they were devastated, and needless to say, I felt a little more pressure than normal to come up with something that wouldn't disappoint them. Thankfully, they had several reference photos of a high enough quality for me to create a result that pleased them.
