How do the kids react?

The children's immediate reactions to the portraits tend to vary by age and gender. Young children are most noticeably thrilled to receive them. They hold their portraits proudly and show them to everyone around.

Teenagers usually prefer to receive their portraits privately in a place where their peers are not crowded around to see. While their immediate reactions are not as easy to assess as the younger children's, they often display the portraits in their lockers or even prop them on their pillows.

In general, kids of all ages react most strongly to high quality portraits that are true to their likeness.
