I love all these pictures. I wish i could participate... this broken ankle really takes the fun out of mermaiding. I'll be doing some swimming as soon as i can for rehabilitation for my ankle.

Jadestone ...how did you FIGURE IT OUT???? been trying a long time and still can't get it so jelly of all of you that can do it. I am hoping that this spring to get a LOT of pictures of myself and the whole mermaid lagoon i have here in my state I have some awesome ideas ....unfortunately i can't take the picture as I am in it

To tell you the truth, I didn't even think I was getting any bubble rings while I was there!! It was only when I watched the videos later that I was like "OH MY GOD IT *WAS* WORKING!" I thought I'd gotten some, but my friend with the camera said she didn't think I'd quite gotten them at the time (though I did!). Honestly, I think what it came down to was just being able to let my air out in one bubble. Any time any other bubbles slipped out they just got in the way of each other. swimming on my back and just letting one out seemed to do the trick, it sort of went ring-shaped on its own.

I feel ya about the having ideas for pictures, but the difficulties of being in FRONT of the camera... I'm a photographer by nature, not a model, and it's very hard for me to visualize myself rather than see a scene and adjust it. I spent a lot of time looking at photos of other mermaids and memorizing their positions to help myself with that. Next time I'm gonna show them to whoever's photographing me as well, so they get an idea of the kinds of shots I want as well. I think that's probably the best way to do it with a photographer inexperienced in taking pictures of mers

And another photo... I look so disgruntled!! I wasn't really, I was just talking to my photographer friend and just look grumpy by chance

ooooooooooooooo I have a shitload of cream stretch velvet..... I ended up with like 12meters of it cause the girl kept finding little holes in the fabric as she was trying to measure it. might make a really pretty tail

If the velvet is two way stretch, make the stretch go side to side and make an eight inch panel down the length in the back with the stretch going top to bottom. Does that make sense?

Did a photoshoot with one of my sisters and her friend the other night, it was tons of fun Basically we used anything and everything we could find in the basement for costumes and props. I think I had as much fun editing these as I did doing the shoot!

My sister did my makeup, and her friend took the photos. Sorry some are so grainy, the basement lighting wasn't very good.

Hi folks! This was a photoshoot I did back in fall with Morticia Mermaid to model her creations - Almost everything I'm wearing is by her, as well as the makeup! <3 This was the first time I felt like a "real mermaid", LOL!

ETA: WOW those pictures loaded huge... :/ Sorry...

I did an "Urban Fantasy" series for my photography class last semester, so of course one of my sets of photos was mermaid in a pool (as well as dryad in a library, etc). Here's some of them:

Here is a little merling I photographed the other day such a little cutie

She's soooo cute!! She is going to treasure the pictures you took of her! Someday, I bet she will show her own children that picture and tell them all about how she was a mermaid!

i wish i had pictures of myself in a tail when I was little!!
