I wish I had such a clear place to swim near my house. All I have are muddy lakes and shallow creeks.

[Rogue Siren]

I'm so jealous of everyone's gorgeous photoshoots! x3

I finally had my "professional" shoot....We went to Dismals Canyon. But my dumbass left my tail in my closet *facepalm*. We had fun anyway, and it turned out to be too cold for me to really get in the water. xD We still had a few turn out decent. :)

I can't handle all the pretty in here. :jawdrop:

[Mermaid Morgann]

I filmed a little video introducing Mermaid Diona as a member of Siren Tide for Transformation Tuesday, as well as took a couple of shots from the video. Not entirely a photo shoot, more like a video shoot, but it turned out really well and I'm even proud of the screen grab pics. c:

These all look amazing. I really want to comment specifically to each person, but there is too many now so everyone looks amazing and did great!
here is a preview of a shoot I did at H2o and the aquadec club that just opened for the Tucson model magazine release party.

Thank you!!!

Wow, Sirena, beautiful shots and splendid location! Is the water always that clear?

It is clear pretty much all of the time! (Except for storms, etc) It is a beautiful spot and I hope all of you can try it out someday

Since the children at the pool have asked for it, I've started up a YouTube channel just for my mermaiding videos. I figure it's a good idea to keep them separate from my personal stuff.

Amazing photo's Crystal Shimmer

[maressa]

These were all done by a photographer/graphic designer friend of mine. The pics themselves were actually taken in a hotel room, and she photomanipulated them afterwards. This is waaaay back in the thread, but small world! I've done a shoot with Megan too! Nice lady! :D

[Merenneito Nerissa]

I just don't know how to get the photos smaller and get them to fit here... So I just post links to my photo, which was taken about a week on the shore of my home river here in Lapland, there were like -10 celsius and it was a lil bit cold but hey, I'm an arctic mermaid :D And then there's a video from few days ago in the other link of me on the other shore of river, with a lovely husky dog <3 :) Warmer day, it was like +1 celsius so I was able to be there over half an hour, very nice photo shoot!

So this is the photo from colder day

And here's the video of me and the lovely husky/malamuut called Aiko goofing around in the end of the photo shoot <3

https://www.facebook.com/video.php?v=307736419419150&set=vb.295526760640116&type=2&theater

Oh and yes, it is snow, and yes, the river is almost frozen already :D

[Samantha Siren]

Wow, Nerissa you look beyond stunning. I have been to Lapland and loved it but alas I never to got see the northern lights. I'd love to go back!

[Merenneito Nerissa]

Thank you! Well, those northern lights have been edited in to that photo, but they are from photos taken a day before our photo shoot :) But we have had amazing ones in past few weeks because there has been these huge eruptions in the sun, they were very visible and beautiful even in the city area, but of course they are most beautiful when you go in the middle of no where ( which is like 10 kilometers from the town... :DDD ) and you don't have all the city lights disturbing the sky view

[Samantha Siren]

I was in a small town called Hetta when I came to Finland which would have been perfect to see the lights if they were showing. I dd see a lot of reindeer though :)

[Mermaid Galene]

Breathtaking photo, Nerissa! Very artistic editing - love it. Wow, you are one hardy mermaid. I live in frigid Wisconsin, but I wouldn't have the stamina to roll around in the snow in my tail!

And I love your dog. :-D

[Mermaid Lilium]

Beautiful shoots Nerissa! And oh my gosh how I love malamutes <3 I did a shoot with four very lively ones last year for my degree project lol. They're so big and SO FLUFFY <3 and they're such huge characters aren't they? lol

and they must make strong and hardy mermaids in the artic :P kudos for handling the cold so well! You looked beautiful! xx

[teeth4u]

These are awesome!

[Azurin Luna]

Woo, more nice pictures! :D
And one omnom merman ;)

[Merenneito Nerissa]

Thank you so much of your feedback! <3 I'll send a pic also when I get the photos from the husky sessions :D The best photo of those is going on the finnish diving magazine, Sukeltaja (diver). And they are going to make a double page story of me :) ( cause well I also dive a lot, and yes, in Lapland and yes, water is cold :D Summertime between +6-20 celsius and wintertime it's usually always about +4 in the bottom, but might be +5-6 near the surface just under the ice)

[Merenneito Nerissa]

Oh and Aiko is soooo huge character, that's why I like him so much! My lil fluffy puppy! Well, it's actually not mine, it's my friends who is also seen in the video and she has three other dogs too cause she is a pro dog trainer, but Aiko is my favorite <3 It's already like 3 years old but with me it is always like a puppy and it loves to mess around with me :D

[Samantha Siren]

You should send your pics to the guys in Nightwish! You could be on a T-shirt for Turn loose the Mermaids!

Arion, I have a lot of feelings about your back.

Those are seriously stunning photos though.

[Yulia]

Is it taken underwater?

[Sherielle]

Your pics are amazing, Arion!

[Mermaid Kelda]

Arion, you look fantastic! That's got to be one of my favourite photos yet (from anyone!) You're blended so well into the background and it doesn't look silly like a lot of photomanips do (and the background itself is lovely!). Gorgeous!

[Sea Pearl]

Fifi, I'm so jealous for you to got to meet them, I love those guys a lot! You three look awesome together! Precious lil mermaid with her two lovely big sisters, so sweet! <3 And I adore all of your tails's, so so so magical! <3

[Merenneito Nerissa]

Mermaid sirenia, your tail!!! <3 That's so beautiful, my favorite color too!!! And I absolutely love finfolk's tails, my next one, my dream tail might be the one from them... :) But hey girl that tail totally changes you in to a real thing, it's obvious that you've been mermaid from inside like for ever, but now everyone else can see it too ;) Amazing pics!

Jadestone, very good and beautiful pic, very professional. You look so graceful in that! <3

[Moongazer]

Sirena, holy! Posing on those branches must have been a pain, but the shots are beautiful!

Wow. Jadestone that picture is stunning~

How cold was the water? lol

[Mermaid Galene]

Such drop dead gorgeous photos!

[Mermaid Lilium]

Beautiful photos guys <3

[Jadestone]

Man Sirenia, great job looking graceful with those logs, some of those poses must have been a pain to hold.

And thanks guys! Moongazer, the water wasn't too bad (once I got past the initial shock) since there wasn't any wind that day--but no sun either to warm things up x_x I was in the water for about an hour total, and shivering pretty badly by the end (air was about 55ºF, water definitely a bit colder). But once I got back to the train station I got myself a hot chocolate & warmed right up by the time I got home :) Just in time for a nice hot shower 8)

[Vrindavana Starfish]

Really beautiful photos!

[PearlieMae]

So many beautiful mers! :mermaid kiss:

[Fifi Tigg]

Had a great day out in the water!
Emily had her friend join her for a swim in tails, of course :D

Aww, those are beautiful photos, Fifi! :swoon:That location just looks so inviting!

[Mermaid Riia]

Aaaaa I love the little merlings <3
You need to do mom-daughter mermaid duo shoot! YES! Please :D Fifi!

I spy so many finfolk tails and they all look amazing. Makes me kind of shamed to post pics of my not so brand spanking new tail. Smells like tail envy here, sorry :) But here's my Ursula *leaves the photos and runs* gahh!

[Merley]

Not a photo shoot, but the first picture of my Merbella's. Sadly, I tore a fin :[ I think it happened putting it on or taking it off.259543

[AniaR]

Eep it can be tricky when you have so many fins. Easy fix usually though. I opted to not have pelvic fins on my new tail because rolling the tail down stressed me out lol

I had a photoshoot done this morning! I won't be able to post pictures til Wednesday due to my friend/photographer forgetting her laptop at home so she can't edit them. Though I went through her camera and they look great!

[Princess Pearl]

I had a photoshoot about a month and a half ago. My friend is a great photographer on land, but we weren't able to get much usable stuff under water. But I was able to cobble some of the video she took (along with some other stuff I did myself) into a new video

[Mermaid Lilium]

oh crystal your jawline and figure shall make me green with envy! lol great photos m'dear and watching the video, I can tell you were a photographer's dream =)

[Mermaid Harmony]

Sirenia you look amazing, and Crystal Shimmer you look like a mergoddess. Love it!

[Mermaid Crystal Shimmer]

oh crystal your jawline and figure shall make me green with envy! lol great photos m'dear and watching the video, I can tell you were a photographer's dream =)

Ah thank you so much! I did use some photoshop to smoothen the lines from tail to belly. (Didn't want to show a tiny 'muffin top')

And thank you all for the lovely comments! I do have some new pictures coming, which will all be posted on my Facebook page.

I love this topic so much! All these gorgeous merfolk! <3

[Mermaid Lorelei]

Raina, this may sound totally random and weird, but you have gorgeous hips.

[AniaR]

oh thank you! I have lost 30lbs since last year and my hips can look wonky at times lol. They're very ah, square if that makes sense? but I am finding more recently as I work hard on working out and toning they are shaping my body nicely. It's weird to have them again haha. They also are a source of so much of my chronic pain >.>

[Lily]

I agree with Lorelei - you look amazing! All that hard work is really paying off (but I'm sorry your hips continue to hurt :( )

Also I cannot get over that blended waist! Raven really outdid herself with this. It looks super thin though - are you worried about tearing it at all? I'd be petrified of damaging something so lovely! :biting nails:

[AniaR]

it's actually so thick it's hard to put on hahaha. Raven assures me if I ever have troubles it's very easy for her to replace it. She made it with that in mind.

[MermaidBrandie]

You look great! And I love the lily pad top. Who made it?

[Aziara]

That second picture has me thinking "Oh no!! A beached mermaid!! Push her back in!!" :lol:
But seriously, those are some gorgeous pictures.

[Mermaid Kelda]

Haha, I did feel beached at that point! I had just gotten out of the waves and OH MAN I was beat. First time swimming in the ocean with my tail, on not the calmest of days. My friends spent a lot of the time being held on to.

I bought the lily pads, stuck them to a bra and added netting/leaves. As chronicled in this thread (http://mernetwork.com/index/showthread.php?4526-Top-for-a-fresh-water-mermaid) :)

I got some shots done at Merfest, by photographer Susan Knight...I composited two shots to make this image...they are low res screenshots, and a down and dirty retouch, but you get the idea.

[Yulia]

How did you make your fluke look so... Fluid?
It's an amazing photograph nonetheless, you look so comfortable.

[Mermaid Galene]

That is SO gorgeous, Pearlie!

[PearlieMae]

Thanks! I really like it. I can't wait to get the high res files!

[AniaR]

I did photos with her too. I wasn't very impressed with my pics. I really wanted full body pics of my tail and tried to communicate that and push for it but most are the same portrait that I didn't really want to do from the beginning.

I got my small res proofs over a week ago and had originally paid for two. I made my selections but haven't heard back yet.

I feel kinda meh about the experience. She was very nice, kind, and professional. But the photos were really unflattering of me and I was hoping for more focus on my new tail. A lot of the proofs I was sent were ones I would of deleted off the camera if we were doing the photos.

But I had really amazing photos the year before for free. You win some, you lose some.

Sean took amazing underwater photos of me on christomer s camera. I was so proud of them but I knew wed probably never see them and I was right. Last year a whole card of peoples underwater photos went 'missing' and people never got them. I expected the same thing to happen this year and since sean was worried about flooding the camera we didn't make copies of the pics. So Chris has em somewhere in digital land with last years missing photos.

Susans photos seem to be hit or miss this year. I'm not sure if it was the pool conditions or the schedule or what. A few people weren't happy with theirs.

But I'm glad Pearlie found one she likes and it is so awesome to showcase her stunning tail. I saw it in person. Photos rarely do it justice!!!

I kinda feel the same, I have maybe two half-decent photos, one has the fluke half out the water and the other is a portrait-reflection shot that doesn't even show my tail and I really wanted photos to profile my tail as it was my very first tail swim.

I just feel a bit bleh about the experience too. But I also can't really complain cause I was entirely late for my shoot due to taking too long heat-setting my tail before I got a lift to the pool with the others, and Susan managed to fit me in, when she didn't have to.

I'm also a perfectionist graduate photographer so my standards are going to be higher xD

anyways didn't want to start any drama or derail, just thought I would share that I feel the same. Replied with my image choice the other day and not heard back yet either.

My take on the splash tail!
I am pretty happy with it :)

It looks great! Is it a personal tail or for a client? Wonderful work!

[AniaR]

This may be the cutest picture I have ever seen!! Congrats!

Wow I was behind on this thread. Everyone looks so beautiful. I love these group shots some people are able to do.

LOL..I just had to giggle at this, b/c I feel the same way. Being a photographer, I know exactly how I want my photos to look. This is why I usually have my hubby try just so that I can edit and have freedom to do whatever to the photos. I am lucky to have some great photographer friends who do a great job. But its like with anything, when you do it well and know how you like it, that sets the standard very high and if you feel like it didn't come out as good as if you could have done it, then that leads to disappointment. Seriously wish I could clone myself sometimes... LOL

we need a support group for bellydance/photographer/mermaids or something ;)

Here are a few photos from our super fun, swan-themed library program last week. They are just captures from a video, but they turned out pretty well. (Good enough for our website, anyway)!

[Xianne Lime]

This is sooo hot Caroline!

[Mermaid Galene]

Thanks, friends!

[Lucinda]

I love the way your top turned out, Galene.

[Mermaid Galene]

Thanks, Lucinda! I actually bought the top on Etsy and added the feathers. If I'd had time, I would've made one myself, and it would have been a lot sturdier. Apparently the maker of this top used hot melt glue to add all the little flowers and embellishments. :doh: So of course, the minute I put the thing on to go to the gig, it started shedding flowers and baubles. I quickly reattached them with Marine Goop, and we went on our way. It's amazing I didn't pass out from the glue fumes wafting up from my chest!

[Lucinda]

Glue? Seriously, whoever came up with that idea clearly hadn't thought things through. Did they start to come off in the water or on land?

[Mermaid Galene]

Oh, I would never attempt to wear that bra in water! The glitter shedding alone would pollute the water forever. This was just a library gig - no swimming.

ah, very sensible!
I wish more mers would consider the water quality when bringing in their gear for a swim lol.

Ok, so this is from back in October, so not that recent, but I realized I had never shared the pics here.
My awesomely talented friend Brianna of Brianna Olsen Photography was gracious enough to do my photoshoot and I love how the pics came out!(These smaller versions don't quite do the quality justice, though!)

I had so much fun being in my tail for the very first time and getting to make magic for a bunch of little kids. I never wanted it to end!

[Mermaid Galene]

Lovely, Opal! You look so beautiful and happy and natural in your tail.

[mermaidopal]

Thank you OceanWhisper and Galene! I certainly was having a lot of fun, I had some great encounters with little kids that thought I was real and I loved it! Can't wait to get back out in my tail especially now that I have some new accessories. Need to get myself a mertender, I live 10 minutes from the beach but I don't get to go in my tail too much since I need someone else there! And OceanWhisper, this is one of my favorite colors!

What is it with cats and mermaid stuff? My kitty keeps trying to rub herself on my scale sheet. Do they think mermaid = fish? Because I don't want to be eaten!

[Coradion]

We had another shoot today with more of our ever expanding pod. I have really weird pecs. I do not understand them.
