An argument for the angelic: when a child is gone, either grown or deceased, the petulant, angry, defiant, petty, cranky dissipates into the air. Only the sweetness remains. I think many people commission portraits based on knowing that they want to preserve these, rather than other moments. Thankfully, lots of people look at these as heirlooms, and take it with the same gravity (or more) as a professional photograph.

Other people want their child entered into a tradition of poses, and that includes the starched clothes and predictable poses.

Given the chance to own a hundred portraits, I think people might want to capture every waking moment and shade.

Best
