One source of information I have from the Nutting Studio indicates that this picture was made in California. The exact town or house is not recorded. This photograph is one of several in a series made on this stairway with this model. In other photos she is accompanied by a young girl or holding an infant.

Other photographs in this series that I have been able to confirm are:
"Shy Before Guest" studio #2291
"Toward Slumberland" studio #2292
"To Slumberland" studio #2292 (Same picture as "Toward Slumberland").
"After The Party" studio #2295
"The Charm Of Other Years" studio #2295 (Same picture as "After The Party").
"To Meet Papa" studio #2296
"What Shall I Answer" studio #2472
"To Meet The Rector" studio #2499
"Mother" studio #2513

Wallace Nutting also made two photographs in one of the bed chambers of this house. They are:
"Nap Time Stories" studio #2511
"A Patchwork Siesta" studio #2293
