Do You Hear the Birds Sing?
“Is Indi your nickname?”
“Yes.”
“Can we call you by that?”
“You surely can.”
A week before the photoshoot, Indi showed us a few pictures of the dresses she liked, asking us to pick one for her. She explained the style of each one, and told us which she had worn, which hadn’t.
A gentle spark was there in her eyes.
Perhaps, beneath her calm look, there is a little girl who has a wardrobe of all kinds of beautiful dresses - a girl wishing to show the best version of her in front of the camera.
This is great respect she paid to herself, and us.
Indi didn’t talk too much, but her music did. Once she started to play, the whole world seemed to become quiet all of a sudden.
“Do you hear the birds sing?”
“Yeah - they are singing along to her violin.”
Dear Indi, you don’t need wide smiles to make you look better, because you’re beautiful enough just the way you are.
If that little girl is indeed there deep in your heart, don’t let her go.
