How to take a whited out picture?

I'd like to take a picture where there isn't a lot of detail, and the rest is bright and sunny like. I don't know if this picture is taken with a professional camera or a phone type camera, but I'd like it to be like this. &w=600&h=399&ei=MtWJUN_1EIm9iwL494GYBw&zoom=1&iact=hc&vpx=189&vpy=80&dur=138&hovh=183&hovw=275&tx=165&ty=148&sig=117660629811444337545&page=4&tbnh=141&tbnw=212&start=92&ndsp=34&ved=1t:429, r:79, s:20, i:368

I have a D3000 Nikon.

Your link is far too long, so part of it is missing.

If you are asking about shooting "high key" photography, you need to set up the shot so that most of it is light hues and make sure that you meter the subject correctly so that it does not underexpose your shot

The technique is the same, no matter what dSLR brand or model you use

I'd say you should just change the exposure time on your camera or edit the exposure/brightness once you've taken your picture. It would obviously help to have lots of lights around the subject of your photo, but if you already have the picture you want then that's what I would do.

Over exposed and blown out and then turned to black and white.
Example (done real quick from a RAW file of a portrait I had handy).

You can do it in camera as well… I just over exposed the shot in post processing by 2 stops but I could have done it in camera just as easily.

EDIT:
Here is a much shorter link to the OP's example:

Overexpose.

In the picture in your link, the girls face is away from the source of light so it remains well defined. The body however is shined with strong light. Aside from lighting position and strength, it wouldn't be surprising if barn doors were used to block light from falling on the face.
