Congresswoman Norton, on the left, wears a blue and brown pattered jacket over a brown shirt. On the proper left side of the jacket, Norton has the Member pin for the 118th Congress. Norton also wears gold colored earrings and glasses. Martin-Smith, on the right, wears a black shirt underneath a red blazer. She wears a treble clef necklace. Both look directly into the camera and the background is slightly blurred.
