Description
This is my third child, Megan, and she is 13 today! (Don't even ask how old that makes me! lol) Here she is gazing up at the stained glass inside the Abbey at Collegeville, MN.
I think she looks so pensive and angelic. For now that is the honest truth about her. I hold my breath - as I've been through this before with my older two... haha! (Actually, if she follows in their footsteps she will turn out terrific, just like my older two. I count my blessings.)
Thanks for the look and any bday wishes you'd like to send Megan.
Jodie

Marvelous and fantastic image...bravissima!V:DDD.Hugsxx Whylma
Happy Birthday Megan and wonderful profile.
inspirational portrait! wonderful!
happy birthday, and this is a wonderfuly warm image
They're growing, and you've used to it, well this beauty did very wel until now, you've done probably a great job, educating and photographicly speaking! RS
As they grow, so do we. That's a lesson I had trouble with because I thought I knew exactly how to raise my kids and then they refused to follow my carefully marked out plan! I learned that each child must be approached differently and THEY had to learn that nowhere was it written that life was fair. LOL Sweet shot of this lovely lady or yours. My best to you both. (my baby is 31! Guess how old that makes ME feel???)
happy birthday
Wonderful portrait. Happy Birthday and many more! 13 is a special number - for me it is lucky - I was born on the 13th! Cheers, Clive
Happy birthday to Megan! You made a wonderful portrait of her, and I agree of the angelic look. Just wait!! lol. I am kidding, maybe you are lucky.
Happy Birthday Megan on your 13th! Great way to catch the light on her face for the portrait. May she shine like your work!
Wonderful shot of her. Happy Birthday Megan! :-)
Great in full size by zoom in, Jodie : colors, light and neat image Bravo Where was Megan ? In a comics color room of her famous uncle ? lol :) HAPPY BIRTHDAY Megan ! from Saint Laurent du Var on the French Riviera
Happy Birthday sweetie Quite the lovely young lady Great portrait... Hugs to you both Hugs Susan~
Now I'm really confused. Weren't you the one that wanted to kid-proof her home? Now this paean about your children and how you are blessed! Did I miss something along the way? Anyway, excellent POV and lighting effects in this masterful capture of your lovely, just-turned-13 daughter, Megan, looking upward and outward, wondering what her future holds in the weeks, months, years and decades ahead. The Happiest of Birthdays, young lady!!!
Happy birthday, Megan! And many more! Your picture, Jodie, is beautiful, and must be seen full-size. Not only for the composition & detail, but because the lighting is so much more vivid that way. You caught a wonderful red glow on her face & hair, and it makes her glow as much as the windows themselves. The simplicity of the stained glass—and how you caught it in a proximity that makes it so bold—is beautiful. It makes it seem so simple; and it's a bold backdrop to Megan. A simple & bold portrait, with real inner light, and with that glow you've captured in a number of your pictures which suggests light within as much as light without. If all this bores Megan and even you (!), let's just say I love the picture, it's very loving—as all the portraits of your children are—and I wish Megan a wonderful birthday and many many more! It's a beautiful shot...
Happy Birthday Megan. All the best going your way.... Aloha
Happy Birthday, Megan! My 16 year old's name is Megan. Love that name..... Aw. Beautiful job, Jodie. I just know you are going to cherish this one, for many years to come. Print it and get it up on the wall. Its that special... My very best to both of you on this very special day. -M :^)
