Sarah Melinda Rosales Walker and Dinah Genevieve Duchard updated graphic.

Seeing Melinda’s senior portrait convinces Genevieve that Leah (or L.J. as Genevieve calls her) is her biological mother. When Leah sees Genevieve outside her office, she first believes she’s seeing Melinda then realizes it can’t be her mother, who died in 1991.

Dinah Genevieve Duchard, senior portrait, 2013, Seattle, Washington.

To generate these, I used the photo below as a reference and entered one prompt instructing Firefly to create a senior portrait of her from 1965 and a second prompt for a senior portrait of her from 2013 with specifics for the individual character. I then had to use the 1965 portrait as a reference and duplicate it with different eye color because the characters don’t have the same color eyes in the story. There were several variations of photos produced and these were the closest to what I wanted.

Original template used to create Melinda and Genevieve’s photos.

The light blue hoodie from the original has also become Genevieve’s preferred attire prior to the point at which Leah starts influencing Genevieve’s taste in fashion.
