Earlier this summer, one of my favorite clients brought a mermaid costume<\/a> to the session.<\/p>\n

I was skeptical at first – because you guys know I’m not a “proppy” kind of photographer.<\/p>\n

But this was not any mermaid costume – this was very tasteful and beautiful.<\/p>\n

After sharing her portraits on facebook<\/a> – I was flooded with interest in more mermaid sessions.<\/p>\n

I was fortunate enough that she let me keep them for a year. \u00a0Them – yes – more than 1 – there are 2!<\/p>\n

While shell hunting with my family one day, I found the perfect location for these mermaid sessions.<\/p>\n

I put out a casting call for 2 little girls when I knew the tide would be low.<\/p>\n

The moms were not only willing, they pulled their girls from school to make the shoot!<\/p>\n

And how about this – the youngest – it was her 5th birthday! \u00a0How cool is that?!<\/p>\n

Anyway – it was absolutely FUN! \u00a0Not the most ideal conditions. \u00a0The sun was brighter than I wanted it to be,<\/p>\n

the wind was blowing waaaay harder than I wanted it to be, and the seas were rougher than I wanted, too.<\/p>\n

But I can’t always get what I want.<\/p>\n

I did however, have two VERY cooperative girls that made my day with their giggles.<\/p>\n

Within 5 minutes they acted as if they’d known each other forever.<\/p>\n

I can’t wait to do some mermaid sessions in the spring.<\/p>\n

Contact me<\/a> if you are interested in your own mermaid session.<\/p>\n
