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!
They helped me learn how to breathe out all my air ahead of submerging so I wouldn't blow out bubbles while the pics were being shot. 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...
So glad to hear it went well! Sounds fun! How did you get a photo shoot with them in the first place?
