Hate to say it, Mary, but I'd schedule a second photo shoot. I recently had a photo session with a severely disabled young boy and I know what you mean about working with a subject who will not, or cannot co-operate. We held two photo sessions and the second time got some better face shots, one of which I used in the painting I just delivered.

Even without her disabilities, it's often hard for a child as young as this to "perform" at a photo shoot. A perfectly healthy and lovely five year old posed for me last fall (if you can use the word "posed") and none of the face shots were useable, since she couldn't hold still or even stay in one place. We scheduled a second shoot the following week and got exactly what we needed.

One of the other reasons I'd do a second shoot is that her dress in these shots is very distracting, in my view. Something simple and classic would be much better, I think.
