TRINITY, Fla. (FOX 13) - A U.S. Marine went to great lengths to make his friends laugh: he decided to do a mermaid photo shoot!
Jacqueline Elliot is a photographer with Magical Memories Photography in Trinity, Florida.
She usually does mermaid photo sessions for little kids, until the father of one of her daughter's classmates approached her about doing a photo session -- for himself.
"He’s a Marine, dad, and brother and wanted to send it to his buddies and family to make them laugh, overseas and here at home," Elliot told FOX 13.
He posed for a series of photos at the beach, all while wearing an intricate, turquoise mermaid tail.
Elliot said they planned to talk to his friends about possibly doing a calendar at some point in the future to raise money for a good cause.
In the meantime, the photos surely brought smiles to the faces of his family and buddies abroad!
