The young girls depicted are as young as toddlers and usually go up to their teen years in these photographs. Typically they are standing next to a chair or desk with an arm on or hand on it. Some are posed with props such as a hat, book, or paddle in their hands. For the young girls who are seated, they are usually younger in age and the chair that they sit on emphasizes their young age as the chair is larger than them. Some are looking directly into the camera and others are looking off to the side. The vignettes feature the heads of the girls essentially floating as their surroundings are not visible. They are either front facing or in profile. The upper torso is usually seen in these photos with some showing the lap of the subjects as well.
