Soles of Silk - rehoboth lifeguard

When Melani and I decided to go to the beach for some photos at the end of her debut year, I had the idea to do a set themed to her being a lifeguard. I thought, "We can go to one of the beach towns, pick up a lifeguard swimsuit, and do the set." Well, that didn't exactly happen.
After getting a late start to the day, we made the drive to Rehoboth Beach, Del. We went into dozens of shops looking for a lifeguard swimsuit, but had no luck. Heck, all we were finding was hoodies. It was summer! There was no way we were doing the set with a hoodie.
On our final round looking through the shops, we found kids t-shirts and shorts. Since Melani is so small, she was able to fit into them. It was close enough.
By time we got to shooting this set, the evening sun was setting in. It was less than ideal, but we still made it work.
