Dear Lisa,

Yes, it is worth your time to reshoot! And yes, this happens to me often with 2 year olds. They're two! There are some days that young children just aren't in the mood, and you can't reason with them. (They're two!)

Here's a thought. Let the mother know that you are painting portraits that will be heirlooms. As such, each child will want to have his own painting to take to his home as an adult, and when painted together this just can't happen. You can paint separate portraits that are designed to hang well next to each other, together, yet are still separate. If these kids are fueling each other, you might set up two separate photo sessions, where only one child is present. Be sure you work around their nap,meal etc., schedules.

Good luck,
