Description
This is my 300th upload! I felt it very appropriate to add this shot to my gallery. This is my oldest daughter who deserves praise for more than just her looks. She has been very supportive in my photo work and we chat daily even though she is across the country in another state. I miss her presence, humor and optimism. She is a genuine joy; beautiful inside and out. (My younger daughter agrees. Today in school she will dress up as someone she emulates and she picked her older sister!)
To get this photo I simply asked her to turn away from the computer to pose over the edge of the chair. I took this while home for Christmas. Isn't she a sparkler? I am very proud of her and of this photo, which is right out of the camera. The only touch up was to crop and add a frame.
Thanks for the visit and any comments.

a beautiful picture, jodie, and it affirms what I know & thought...the picture itself is beautiful, but as beautiful is the spirit of the soul before you (and the soul who's doing the capturing)...Painting rarely captures this, it's all of a photographic moment: a swivel, a glance-up and you capture her radiance wholly. Because you allowed her space, she looks utterly natural, smiling with light and a gentle askance as if she wants to give you all she has. And in full-size, there's this wonderful red-glow falling on her hair & face (on the viewer's right), harmonized by the chair and background (those earthen-reds you seem to find as if they called out to you); and the delight is, you didn't use too much of them, just enough to suggest something blessed visiting your daughter and illuminating her presence. A picture of a daughter and a silent bond between two people—revealed in one's desire to shine deeply, and in the other's to offer her the space in which to do it, untouched by anything but love. A beautiful tribute, to her and to both of you; and what better soul to celebrate an art that, for you, is all about love and connection...
