Watch and You'll See, Someday I'll Be, Part of that World

As many of you now know, my daughter, Lydia, has a recent obsession with The Little Mermaid.  She has now permanently taken the name Ariel (all of her crafts from camp have come home with that name written on the back) and wears her costume with the mermaid fin and purple "boobies" (AKA, bikini top) each and every day.

You have to admit, it's pretty awesome to see your kid running with their vivid imagination.  I try not to discourage it.  But, sometimes, a mermaid costume that is 14 inches too long is inappropriate for grocery shopping.  Or maybe I just need to get one of my own and try it out.  I shouldn't knock it until I try it.

Anyway, I decided to do a little photo shoot with "Ariel".  She was on cloud 9 because I told her if she worked with me, then I would put her in the ocean.  That was pretty much the most magical thing she had ever heard and the poses were coming so fast I couldn't keep up!

I hope you enjoy these shots.  And if you would like to see your kid's latest obsession come to life, drop me a note at photography@auntspray.com.
