Turn this photo into a delicate, hand-painted watercolor illustration with a soft, dreamy, minimalist aesthetic. Use a warm ivory/cream textured paper background, muted pastel colors, soft organic brushstrokes, subtle shadows, and slightly imperfect watercolor edges. Keep the people, facial features, hairstyles, clothing, accessories, poses, and interaction recognizable and faithful to the original photo, but gently stylized like a beautiful children’s storybook illustration. Simplify the background into soft watercolor shapes and details. Use a vertical 2:3 composition, with the subjects relatively small and positioned in the lower third, leaving lots of clean negative space above. Avoid photorealism, anime, thick outlines, saturated colors, 3D, or exaggerated cartoon proportions
