Girl with the golden earing?

This photo reminds a lot of Vermeer's Girl with the Pearl Earing. I was lucky to see this painting  this winter at the Frick Collection and was astonished. This photo was taken about 6 years ago at a day care center run by Catholic Charities, my client at the time. There's an uncanny resemblance.although the girl in the photo is much younger than the young woman in the painting. Very odd, but I like this photo very much.
