Thanks everyone. I know I'm really really lucky with my T and I must sound like a spoilt brat to some
I think that's the best idea, Echoes and stopdog- to explain that I'd like to take a photo of her during the session because that's the context which I'm familiar and comfortable with. I will keep in mind what you say, Readytostop, about it being hard to recreate because it is more than a static 'look'.
I have serious facial recognition problems, which cause me quite a lot of difficulties in my work and social life. I can't hold visual representations of people in mind or conjure up how they look. I often don't feel confident picking out good friends or even family members out of context. I think I do rely heavily on external features and context to identify people- maybe this is part of why it threw me to have a picture of T looking so 'different'.
