I second Linda's suggestion. I'd be wary about how you approach the photo shoot and the actual posing. There are people out there who might conceivably expect an intimate encounter as a side benefit to the production of the portrait, especially with this theme, and in today's litigious society you should tread carefully. Having worked as a psychologist in public schools until I retired a few years ago, I had to learn to keep barriers up and to call for backups when a situation looked as though it had the potential to blow up. It's very sad when one can no longer put a reassuring hand on a child's shoulder, but we were constantly being advised not to do so. Similarly, male psychologists or social workers avoided transporting female students without a third person along.
That said, it sounds like an interesting commission and I'll be interested in hearing how it goes. Do keep us posted!
