This Dad Became A Mermaid For His Daughter’s 8th Birthday And We Can’t Get Enough
Prepare yourselves, because this is just about the sweetest story you will hear all week.

This dad was the ultimate ‘BEST DAD EVER,’ when he said YES to his daughter’s request for him to be a part of her 8th birthday pictures.

The thing is, they weren’t JUST birthday pictures. They were special pretty, pink mermaid pictures, complete with tails, shell bras, and water!!

SQUEE!! This dad is the most precious daddy on the planet. He joined right in the fun, and made the day as sweet and special as ever!

Desirae Deal, in Lamar, Arkansas, is the AWESOME photographer who made this priceless photo shoot happen.

I began my journey with photography after my first son died at 3 months old. I was sadly left with very little images of him. As a result I became obsessed with photographing my 3 children. I studied graphic design at Arkansas Tech University and used that knowledge to further my editing skills.

I specialize in creative children portraits and fine art photography. My style is fun and vibrant, but the real magic is in the memories. I strive to capture more than just an image. My goal is to provide an experience and memory that will last your family a lifetime.

I think she indeed captured the memories and the experience of a lifetime for these two!

Awesome work, Desirae. Thanks for sharing this story, through photos, with all of us.

Isn’t this the cutest thing ever?!
