Mary,

Take your photo and measure the head vertically. Call this measurement 7" (or whatever you feel comfortable with). Now, extrapolate that measurement over the entire vertical of the photo and you will have the size of your canvas.

If I've got the math right this calculates to roughly a 38" canvas. And it looks like you could easily add some room top and bottom.
