River, Kyler, and Kayden were at their local park having a nice, relaxing picnic together.
River had never been on a picnic before and she was honestly loving how it was going.

River sat on the blanket while Kyler was eating his life away with the food that they had brought.

"Hey slow down there tiger. Don't want ya to get sick now" River spoke up then lightly chuckled at the teen boy.

"Oh my bad" Kyler apologized.

"It's totally fine Ky, just don't want you to get sick that's all"

River then looked to her left and saw Kayden out with his vintage camera, pointing it towards her.
She giggled, covering her face.

"Oh no, I'm not photogenic at all Kay! Put it away" River said in a playful tone.
In all honesty, River never really had her picture taken and she just thought that she wasn't pretty enough to be in pictures.

River was always self conscious about herself. Almost everything that a person has, she is self conscious about it.
She doesn't like her nose, or her ears. She thinks her lips are way too small.
River has thick thighs and hips, so she always assumed she was fat.
The one thing she hates the most about herself is her stomach, she wishes it was flatter because then she'd be more appealing.

"I think this photo says differently" Kayden said handing the camera to River so she could see the pictures.

He was taking photos of her when she wasn't paying attention and they were absolutely stunning.
The way River's smile lit up the photo or how the sun peaked into the photo to cast a beautiful light upon River, bringing out her gorgeous hazel eyes.

"These are.... beautiful Kayden" River paused then spoke up again.

"Well they do have one beautiful model in them so of course they're beautiful" Kayden said looking deeply into River's hazel eyes.

"I'm going to print them out for you to keep, so whenever you feel like you're not pretty, you can just look at those and realize just how beautiful you truly are" Kayden said smiling at River.

"Thanks Kay"
