JULIA | AGE: 6
We went to hang out with Julia on an evening just like any other and when she greeted us she was her smiley and excited self, the Julia we know. Then when it was time to photograph her we (her and I) went into her families' gorgeous music room and once the door was shut, she sat at her piano with such poise and grace. She took a breath and once she started playing, a fairytale energy took over the room as she speedily (and oh so very well) played such happy songs.
Her focus was intense, and her little fingers moved across the keys almost professionally. Every few notes she had a soft smile of pure joy. Then when she was done she would turn to me with excitement, her whole face lit up in giggles and laughs like if nothing had even happened and I felt SO privileged to have been able to be in the room with such an amazingly talented, intelligent, and creative little girl.

“Julia Rose has a passion for music. She has been playing piano for 1 year and practices everyday with her Daddy. She reads music and can play by ear. When she’s not on the piano, she frequently moves her fingers simulating playing her favorite songs or she hums/sings the song. She has progressed tremendously over the last year of piano and is now starting to learn classical pieces. Her current favorite song is called Roman Holiday.”
