My little Mermaid



So one afternoon several months ago, Briley asked me if I would let her be a mermaid and live in our pond. Then she asked again…. every day for a week. She has been obsessed with Ariel and mermaids since I can remember and always pretended to be one around the house, in the pool or in the tub. But this was the most persistent she was about actually making it happen. So that night I started thinking about how I could make that come true for her. Not going to lie.. I lived through my kid in this session a bit. (This and the Unicorn session earlier this year.) ;) Honestly.. what little girl didn’t want to be a Mermaid when they were little? True story… our last Disney cruise.. every single night of the cruise at dinner, Briley snuck underneath the table and brushed her hair with her fork.. or “dingle hopper.” Most nights she and one of the other little girls we sat with each night took turns brushing each others hair with forks. ;)

Not only was I incredibly excited about Briley getting to do this.. but I had decided to make a mini session concept out of it. This is right up my alley and I’m always looking for something new. Mermaids were definitely different and this was very much my style. I was looking forward to all the little girls getting to dress up and be mermaids for their sessions.. and I think they all had a pretty fun time. :)

If you missed the sneak peeks for all the other girls, you can check them out HERE!! More from those sessions coming soon!! I’ve also had a ton of inquires about these sessions since posting the sneak peeks. I WILL be doing this again, but since I’m booked through the end of the year, it will have to be next Summer! Maybe we should make this an annual thing. :)

For now, a few of my sweet little mermaid. :)
