Birthday Parties- photo spotlight (ideas for you)

[AniaR]

Ive been archiving some of my gigs to try and help people come up with some ideas and inspiration, and also just sharing some of what I do as a professional mermaid. Here are some photo examples of me at parties!

I always make sure to try and get a few big group photos
