I think you should do a nice prtrait of her as well.
The XG-1 is a nice reliable camera. It won't do anything without a battery, that's why they were originally sold with a small spare battery holder that attached to the neckstrap. Once the battery works, it is a real gem of a camera. I keep a 45mm lens on mine which makes it an easy fit into a briefcase. I use it for documenting work sites and projects when I travel.
