What a Sweetheart
Posted by Judy (Brooksville, Florida, United States) on 23 April 2009 in People & Portrait and Portfolio.
Bridget might not love this photo, but it is so natural - no makeup, no special hair treatment - her inner beauty shines through. Three weeks from today we fly to Washington, D. C. for her graduation from Georgetown University!
Thank you so much for visiting my blog; your comments are greatly appreciated. I apologize for not getting to all of your posts. I will visit as time permits.

@tyan: Do ANY of us really like our photographs? <grin>
You are so correct on the "true blue survivor, telling of God's goodness and mercy!"
Thank you so much, Tyan.
Scott Schilling from San Martin, United States
Judy, absolutely beautiful! Congratulations to her and best wishes to you and your family! What did she major in at Georgetown?

@Scott Schilling: Thank you, Scott. Bridget took a Nursing/Pre-Med course that Georgetown offers in their School of Nursing & Health Studies dept., allowing you to go in either direction.
@Eleftheria: Thank you, Eleftheria ... you would love her if you knew her!

Inner beauty indeed!

@MontereyJohn: Thanks, John ... it's funny, I see what you're referring to, but if you knew Bridget you'd see only hers. :D
john4jack from Corvallis, Oregon, United States
Great portrait of a lovely young woman. Big day coming up.
23 Apr 2009 12:46pm
@john4jack: Thanks, Jack ... and it was really a zoomed 'snapshot' that she sensed at the last moment.
Yes, a very big day is coming up.
Bookfool from Mississippi, United States
She doesn't like it? I think Bridget looks beautiful! What an exciting trip that will be.
23 Apr 2009 2:02pm
@Bookfool: Oh, I don't know if she would or wouldn't like it; she's too busy at school for me to have run it by her before posting it. ... We're so excited to be going to her graduation!
Laurie from New Jersey, United States
This is a wonderful natural portrait. I think she looks just beautiful in this portrait.
23 Apr 2009 2:57pm
@Laurie: Thank you, Laurie ... she's one beautiful, talented, and blessed New Jersey gal!
Carol from United States
Natural beauty like that doesn't need makeup. Yes, she is a sweetheart.
Hope God blesses me with enough years to see my granddaughter graduate from college.

@Carol: Oh, Carol ... I pray you have the chance to see Sophia in her graduations!

She is lovely, radiant. How proud of her, and blessed you all must feel.

@Viewfinder: Every grandparent is proud of their grandchild's accomplishments.
In Bridget's case we feel especially blessed that she's jumped some difficult hurdles already!
Lorraine from Gatineau, Canada
Yes, indeed radiant. She is a True Natural Beauty :) who wears her heart on her sleeve and has a genuine smile, and I love her freckles lol

Srujan Chennupati from Hyderabad, United States
That smile reminds me of Julia Roberts. She's very beautiful and its a great portrait shot, Judy.

@Srujan Chennupati: Thank you ... you are not the first to suggest a comparison.
Barbara from Florida, United States
This may not be Bridget's favorite photo but when she is older she will see what we all see, a very naturally beautiful young woman who shines inside and out. I agree, radiant. I can sense how proud you and Mike must be of her accomplishments. A remarkable and eventful day in her life is about to take place. I look forward to the images of that day.
23 Apr 2009 6:43pm
@Barbara: I hope you're right, Barb, but at this point, she's simply too busy to even view what I'm posting.
Her graduation weekend is so fully of college student activities, we just hope we get a few 'peeks' at her at times. <grin>
If the weather is good, graduation will be on the lawn before the beautiful Healy Hall.
JJ from Jersey City, United States
Such a beautiful portrait of her, she has a smile that radiates, she may not like it now but I am sure a few years down the line she will look back and appreciate as we all do
24 Apr 2009 1:32am
@JJ: I think she might refer to this a a 'smirk' because her smile is even better. :D
EYES WIDE SHUT from The library of my soul, United Kingdom
Yes, that's a fine portrait, Judy. It will be a proud day
24 Apr 2009 3:30am
@EYES WIDE SHUT: I don't know about "portrait" - it was a good candid 'snap' though. :D
Magda from Vancouver, Canada
Natural Beauty! Her smile is amazing... it brightens up any room, I bet! What a wonderful day to celebrate! She should be so proud of herself! Congratulations Bridget! Way to go! :)
24 Apr 2009 8:00am
@Magda: Thank you, Magda ... I'm thinking of her today as she visits the USUHS for a second look at their medical school.
Japanalia from Yokohama, Japan
You know, by now,that she is my ALL TIME FAVOURITE as a woman! If I were a man I'd follow her to the end of the Earth!

@Japanalia: Oh, what a sweet friend; I'll have to tell her she has an 'Auntie Gabriela in Yokohama' rooting for her!
