Yo, guys. My mom was just arbitrarily taking photos of me at the beach, and one came out fairly good. Put it through an Instagram filter for kicks (I usually don't, but I'm writing right now, which means I spend more time on everything else as a form of procrastination) and ended up liking this one.

I think thats a wonderful photo. Looks very vintage.

Thank you
I love the vintage look of it and how you're not looking at the camera. Like a sailor took it when you weren't looking and has kept it for years. 💖🐳Quote:

Thanks!
Just a few I got at the Ny Faerie Festival. The last one was my actual fairy outfit that the wings go with. The ladies at their mermaid cove were nice enough to let me take some photos I between their shifts

Wow!beautiful! Your photos are what i told my photographer i wanted with mine, that whimsical fairy tale glow

Your tail looks really good with those fairy wings. :)
almost all of my photos are done by the husband on his cell phone, then I send my favorites to my phone where I do very basic editing. I purposely go for that over bright look by upping the color, brightness, and black point a bit. One of these days I'm going to have an actual photoshoot done with real editing hahaQuote:

How does one get a photoshoot with project mermaids? I follow them on Instagram and love their photos. :)Quote:

They asked my bra size, showed me the tops that I should choose from and I picked two, then settled on the one we all agreed looked the best. Then the hardest part- putting on the tail! I have never worn a tail EVER, so, it was so new and amazing to have it all happen together!Quote:

You have to empty your lungs basically before going under- which is kind of counter intuitive, but makes sense for pics. They did not contact me until a week before the shoot, so don't get too nervous. When they sent me the address, I GoogleEarthed it so I would know what the pool and the house looked like from the front. It helped me a lot. It was a lovely small pool, but 9' at the deep end. At the 3/4 mark, I was diving doing twirls and just letting loose. They said those turned out well. I should have shots w/notes in 2-3 weeks to choose from. They had a great way of being very calming and supportive. I let them know I was nervous from the start! I hope they turned out better than I am imagining they did.
I am not sure how to load pics onto here- so, if you want to see the whole shoot from my husband's point of view (above water) I put it on my Facebook page ( Julianne Bredestege) or www.facebook.com/julianne.bredestege
Ok, I need to figure out how to get them from my phone to the pages for you! I haven't uploaded them yet I guess- give me a few minutes...
Simply gorgeous!

Additional prints are $75.00. I thought (for myself, who is wanting to invest in a tail, but not sure about the investment) it was a good first try. Now, I kind of know better what level of Mermaiding I am will to jump in at...lol. I am planning to invest in the Mahina monofin (love the look and the way it is built looks good) and make fabric covers at first. IF I want to jump up to the next level, I would use the same fin, just make a neoprene cover, with caulking covering for scales, but make it so I can interchange it any time I want. Seems to be the most reasonable to me. So, the shoot really helped me make some other decisions about how much MORE $$ I am willing to spend on tails, etc.
gorgeous!!!!Quote:
