i agree.. the daughter is super cute..and claire, um, not so much. I also wish she would have been more engaged with the child, and not trying to focus her eyes on the camera. It makes it look weird, and the smile fake.
She looks like a nice mother. Notice the magazine title. I doubt they were going to doll her up, slap a Galliano dress on her and ask her to pose with her kid. It's a good shot for the publication.
