The "I just had a photo shoot!"/sharing photoshoots thread!

Just had my first photo shoot! Ahhh!! So excited! The pictures turned out really well. So happy

[PearlieMae]

Here are a few photos, and a link to a super quick snippet of video, of me in my gold tail today.
As you can see in the clip, this time the roles were reversed. The mermaid was tempted into the water from her sunny perch, by the adorable child. I wish the video could have caught the song she was making up, while hanging onto my shoulders, as I gave her a ride across the pool. I'm still not sure how I didn't just die from cute overload ;-D

About 2 days before attending a local sci-fi fantasy convention, I had the urge to create a new look for this tail, and get photos. So armed with the scraps from the creation of the tail, I whipped up a 1940s style "sunbathing dress", inspired by one I'd seen on Betty Grable.
Lucky for me, the hotel had a really pretty pool and my talented friend and fellow geek, Mary Anne Butler had her camera at the ready.
More photos are on the way, but these are the teasers she sent me this evening.

To add to the awesome setting, another friend of ours was playing a ukulele nearby. It was like a little slice of Hawaii in San Jose

Woohoo! You look amazing! And another one piece mermaid!

gorgeous Freyja!! I love the 20's flapper look with the one-piece

[Mermaid Freyja]

Thanks so much guys! And I wanted to say how all the photos here are fantastic. You are all so gorgeous.

I love how this makes it look like a one piece tail! The top half turned out so well, I'm thinking of making a matching pair of gold booty shorts for underneath, so I can wear it alone as a super glam 1940s bathing suit

Rouge Siren that tail and top you made are amazing! I love the color! At first glance I thought it was a finfolk tail it looks so professional.

I agree with the others I love the top you made Freyja! Your gold tail goes very well with your hair.

[Yulia]

I didn't see it until know, but your Viking necklace is really cool!
Is it your Brisingamén?

[SeaGlass Siren]

oh my god that is the most gorgeous one piece ever.... you look like a pin up mermaid

[Mermaid Isla]

The water was too murky to do any underwater photos, but we got some good out-of-water photos. My first photo shoot- complete!

[Mermaid Harmony]

Freyja I am in love with your hair! The gold is a good color on you. :-) Isla I like that last picture of you underwater, it looks cool.

[Mermaid Isla]

Thanks Mermaid Harmony! Hopefully I can do some more underwater photos later.

Freyja, you look so cool with all your gold, it fits you so well! The top and tail is all connected, right?

[Mermaid Freyja]

Thanks SeaGlass and Harmony! I had just added a toner in a deeper gold shade a few days before. I do like it

Yulia; thanks!
Yes, you could say it's my Brisingamen I hardly ever take it off.
It has two raven heads on each end (Hugin and Munin). They are sort of my 'spirit totem'.

Isla; thanks! It's two separate pieces actually.
Your photos turned out lovely!!

Just had to share. This was taken pre-photoshoot.
This was one of those beautiful moment. I was sunning myself on a quiet, deserted beach and this little girl came out of no where. She came running up to me with her jaw on the ground and then stopped dead in front of me, spun around and bolted back to her parents screaming (in German), and dragging her sister to come and see. Cutest little girls. I bet they never expected to see a mermaid on their Aussie holiday.

[Mermaid Alea]

I bet that is going to be remembered as one of the best trip moments ever by those little girls!
