In a heartwarming display of creativity and cuteness, one-year-old Zaleyna Lavanya Ishra recently had a mermaid-themed photoshoot by the seaside. The delightful snapshots, captured by professional photographer Carrie from Ashcar Photography Fiji, have won the hearts of many with their undeniable charm.
Zaleyna, a lively and spirited little girl, embarked on her seaside adventure wearing a carefully crafted mermaid costume. The idea behind the unique dress-up session sprang from her mother’s childhood love for mermaid cartoons and the desire to make Zaleyna’s first birthday photoshoot truly magical. It took several months of dedication and collaboration with the talented Beena from Silver Age in Lautoka to bring the imaginative ensemble to life.
During the interview, Zaleyna’s mother, Sanjana Prasad, revealed that her little one’s personality shines brightly. At just 10 months old, Zaleyna said her first word, “ma,” melting the hearts of her family. Eager to explore the world around her, Zaleyna is constantly on the move, making her mother chase after her in playful pursuit. Dancing is one of her favorite activities, often sparked by the delightful tunes of Radio Navtarang, a station Sanjana’s father frequently listens to.
Zaleyna’s interactions with her family members are filled with boundless joy and affection. She shares a special bond with her father, becoming full of excitement whenever he is around. Adorable habits and behaviors add an extra layer of affection to Zaleyna’s personality. She has a habit of shaking her head while crawling, earning her the nickname “Cute Puppy Moti La” from her mother.
The mermaid dress-up experience, though initially met with some hesitation, soon became an exciting adventure for Zaleyna. As the photoshoot progressed, she embraced the attention and the unique transformation into a little mermaid. However, there was a lighthearted moment when Zaleyna tried to stand up in the sandy shore but found herself hindered by her mermaid tail, resulting in adorable tears. These candid moments were beautifully captured by Carrie’s expert lens, ensuring lasting memories for the family to cherish.
Sanjana Prasad also shared a humorous story about her youngest daughter. Despite being the smallest, Zaleyna fearlessly takes on her older siblings, often engaging in playful arguments. Such instances highlight her fearless spirit and determination.
The captivating images of Zaleyna’s mermaid-themed photoshoot, showcasing her liveliness and the magic of childhood, have resonated with many. The Prasad family’s heartfelt story, woven with creativity and love, has touched the hearts of people far and wide.
