The Mermaid Collection: Wrightsville Beach

   Check out "The Mermaid Collection" by 6:12 Photography by Eric McKinney. 
   The beautiful and unique mermaid tails (and our merman's tail) were provided by Eric Ducharme, designer and owner of The Mertailor in Crystal River, Florida. The Mertailor provides both custom and pre-made mermaid and merman tails for clientele all over the world. Each tail is one-of-a-kind, made from the highest quality materials to create an appearance that will make anyone do a double take and question the existence of these mythical creatures. 

Model: Eryn C.

   As the owner of The Mertailor, Eric Ducharme has been creating mermaid tails since he was just a kid. What began as mermaid tails made from garbage bags, masking tape and the sheets off his own bed eventually turned into tails sewn by hand with a needle and thread. He was only 14 when he began filling orders for his tail designs. Today, Eric is creating his tails out of silicone, urethanes and latex rubbers, and his clientele includes Lady Gaga, Target, Saturday Night Live, Walt Disney studios, and Pirates of the Caribbean. 
   It was a true honor to collaborate with Eric for an opportunity to shoot with some of his incredible Mertailor designs. No matter where my shoots took place with these tails, we were constantly surrounded by crowds wanting to watch the shoot and inquire about how my "mermaids" were possible. You can ask any of the models (or the helping hands at each shoot), being a mermaid isn't an easy task.

Exclusive 6:12 Model, Will Sims: The Beach Collection

In August, I had the opportunity to take a trip to the beach with Exclusive 6:12 Model, Will Sims for several days of photo shoots.  Every day, Will was on the beach or in downtown Wilmington giving me 110% during each shoot! I've always been impressed with Will's natural talent in front of the camera, but it was during our time spent shooting in Wilmington that I really saw Will take it to a completely new level. Take a look at Will's best portraits from the beach...
