"Halo.."

Birgitta

"Halo.."

This is my oldest daughter, Heidi Lael. (19 yrs.)
And she’s half Italian..(can you tell?! heh..)
I get her for the next week before she has to head back
to where she lives so I’m taking advantage of our time
together! We had a little photoshoot the other night. ;)
I may be biased by thinking she’s one of the most beautiful
women I’ve ever seen in my life…!

    Beauty if partly skin deep, but I reckon bearing has a lot to do with it and that’s a learned thing! As a consequence, she’s not just beautiful, she is a knock out. You must be really proud. Beautiful photo altogether.

    Gorgoeus daughter, with a great portrait. You must have had her when you were two. You look like twins.

  • Douzy

    Ok so first I must recover from the fact that you have an 18 year-orld daughter… When you said you daughter was coming over I thought you meant a toddler whose father would be dropping off after primary school lol !... After that, I must recover from her beauty and the one of your photo, with this amazing light and tone.

  • jgolder

    geez Birgitta, so you adopted an 18year old? You don’t look old enough to have an 18y/o!!!

    Must be the Italian thing…

  • billyboy

    billyboy

    Birgitta! Glad you dropping in… you were so missed!! Best of all, your return brought me back to your pf for another look. Yes, you’ve got the right to be biased. But she looks like a young Sophia Loren (what IS it with Italian women that makes them instant icons?), so I don’t think it’s only you who thinks she’s awesome. I really like your high contrast with natural light approach to her portrait. This picture could break almost as many hearts as its subject! Nice work!!

  • Helene Kippert

    Beautifully taken. As per your intro – you like atmosphere. This shot has it in droves – could be a still from a movie. You must be proud of your beautiful daughter. My son is 15 and I can barely get him to look at the lens – what can you do eh.

  • Birgitta replied

    Well Glen, my policy is, if they’re 10 & under-bribe them with chocolate.
    15, you’re crossing over into blackmail territory. Strike a bargain first,
    if they don’t go for it-blackmail ‘em! ha.
