"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…!

Beautiful portrait Birgitta, she is beautiful…
H M Bascom
She is so beautiful Birgitta! Amazing photograph. Love that soft focus.
Anne van Alkemade
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.
vonnie1989

Everybody, I can’t thank you enough for taking the time to comment

Thanks again!

Don Cox
your daughter is beautiful, enjoy your time with her…
elisab
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
nice shot there B !!! I have seen her work ( from SOA) and the apple didn’t fall far from the tree…with looks or talent.
paulevelin
you are a very talented imagemaker
always high quality
love to see good work done with talent and dedication
and yours is among the best
Birgitta
Thanks you all!! We’ll eventually have shots posted of us together,
but I’m trying to work it all in between the neverending cleaning and
list of things that have to get done! Thanks for taking the time. ;)
Suni Pruett
She’s beautiful!!! Love the lighting!!!
Jeremy Harrington

Krisso
Great portrait! I don’t know her but I get the feeling you’ve captured her exactly how she is. Beautiful shot!
Scott Ruhs
Well, you may be biased, Birgitta, but it doesn’t mean you’re not right! She is a very beautiful young woman. This is a wonderful portrait. Well done on producing such beauty.
niklens
beautiful…........!!!!!!
BYRON
geez Birgitta, so you adopted an 18year old
?
You don’t look old enough to have an 18y/o!!!
Must be the Italian thing…
Vasile Stan
Wow stunningly beautiful daughter you have. You sure she’s not 100% Italian? She looks to me. Lei parla italiano allora?
H M Bascom
Just had to come back . . . Your daughter is so beautiful. When did out little baby girls become such beautiful women? It’s wonderful, but also kind of sad.
Marc Evans IPA

Marianna Patra...
Hi Brigitta, after all this long month, I am back to my favorite site, and the first work I see – is this portrait. I can not add much to all the great and true words above, I just want to say that you are a very lucky Mom and a very lucky artist. The portrait is a real ART! Beauty!!!
coffeebean
Absolute pure beauty, both in your daughter and in the capturing of her so tastefully. Stunning wow.
Lisa G. Putman
18 year old? No way! I remember seeing some pics of a little one with you, your not old enough to have an 18 year old, what did you have her when you were 10? She is as gorgeous as her mother. Beautiful portrait and I love the lighting and tones. Gorgeous!
Dave Warren
Stunning!! well done
Basia McAuley
Ohh, I don’t know why I missed this! I haven’t read the other comments either so I’ll probably repeat my self but here it goes!..
She’s very beautiful to start with (no, you are not being biased!) and this portrait is a total keep sake! You’ve done a wonderful job, I love the soft tones, her pose and the light. Be very proud of her and your work!!
Deborah Parkin
Don’t know how i missed this – sorry Birgitta :)
A beautiful portrait and a beautiful girl (woman) – striking features which are emphasised by the wonderful lighting – she has the most amazing eyes.
Steven Sandner
Lovely shot, this is a brilliant portrait! great details and perfected skin tones!
Leah Highland
I’m speechless!
niklens

Your eighteen year-old daughter? That makes her just ten years younger than my estimate on you.

Daniela M. Cas...
She is a beauty!!! Sooo beautiful!
Michael Oubridge
She is gorgeous indeed Birgitta, it is no wonder you are so proud of her!
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
Hi Birgitta – so glad you dropped by! I’m looking forward to your new work too as I’ve missed seeing you around. This is stunning btw!
witchy
beautiful dramatic portrait…and a stunning young woman you have!!
Kenny Gulley Jr.

Damien Venditti
really gorgeous
GlennB
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.
chemis
a fantastic portrait!
great softness, love the brown tones.
the expression of her eyes is wonderful
syd baker
Absolutely gorgeous, and she’s thinking, dreaming, I wish she were thinking of me…
Anthony Hedger
Oh I am in love WOW! And I agree with you; she’s one of the most beautiful
women I’ve ever seen in my life. Now moving on before a cold shower, LOL this is a beautiful portrait Birgitta well done
Dave & Trena P...
