Hello from Christopher

[Christopher Chandler]

Hello everyone,

I am following up on my love of everything ocean and beach. I have been swimming since I was three and I love the water. It has always been a place of peace and calm during a stressful life. I started introducing my little girl to the water when she was four and she loves it. This year for her birthday I asked her what she wanted and she told me she wished she could be a mermaid. So I ordered her a tail from the Mertailor for her birthday coming up in July. I am looking forward to being able to swim together with our tails in the pool and ocean once she gets to be a better swimmer. I am a retired professional photographer and love to take pictures of her. If anyone is nearby to Raleigh, NC I am happy to get my equipment out and take pictures for the pure enjoyment of it. I look forward to making new friends.

Hello and welcome, both of you!
I think the above is ample proof you are the best mer-father in the world. :D

That's so cool shimmygoddess, I didn't know you were a pro photographer. What type of photography do you do? I do a bit of freelance modeling and I am always on the look out for photographers to work with.
