It should be Max's turn (have to be fair!). But he wasn't very cooperative, so more Maddie. :)

Maddie has some challenges ahead of her (with school). I wish I could make the road she has to travel a little smoother, but she is scrappy so she'll do fine.

Although...if you could spare her a positive thought or two, I would appreciate it. :)

Tell Max I miss him... :))) he might accept to give a smile :) Wonderful again ! you are lucky, you have gorgeous models ! jendayee · 2007-12-04: 23:46

Kids are resilient and it looks like she's got some good support to help her along the way. mugsycat · 2007-12-05: 08:28

Great shots of Maddie and I'm sure she will do fine at school. Back in under a week and looking forward to catching up with all your missed postings. ????? · 2007-12-05: 09:04

Thanks everyone :) vollenda · 2007-12-05: 15:26

Maddie seems to the have the personality of someone who will be able to make it through anything and succeed! a true 'fireball' in best sense of the term. i would have loved to have had Maddie in one of my art classes when i was an art teacher! i love #1 and #2 - you take very nice portraits - and she's a cutey! lexlevans · 2007-12-05: 15:51

fantastic potraits!! Beautiful girl! angeldevil1980 · 2007-12-05: 17:51

tell her to hang in there!! i know she'll make it through. :D ????? · 2007-12-06: 20:31

I can so see her spunky spirit, and her humor, and her strength, and her vulnerability. And she has you. She will rock the world!!! No doubt! Jannie · 2007-12-07: 00:27

these are absolutely beautiful. the material is a perfect background for portraits, and the light works regardless of whether it's dim or harsh. *tosses coins in wishing well for maddie chipotle · 2007-12-07: 07:25

I agree with Jannie! Lots and lots of good thoughts for Maddie! Carley · 2007-12-07: 19:21
