In the Thick of Mermaid Season πŸ§œβ€β™€οΈπŸšπŸ  {2021}

With my mermaid top crafting moving along, I have been having plenty of mermaid photoshoots. It’s kind of my new favorite thing to do.

So many shoots have been on Staten Island because 4 of my mermaids live there… and it’s convenient for me.

The moon showed up. I’ve decided I need to only shoot in the Golden or Blue hour. The harsh daytime sun has been making it difficult for mermaids to open their eyes!

I originally bought this wig with mermaid intentions. But I more love shooting natural mermaids, though I like wearing the wigs myself on occasion. Like this day when I wore it for my last remote class, an impromptu wacky hat day.

The latest top. It is not yet spoken for….

But I couldn’t help trying it on myself! Each new top becomes my favorite.

This one was my favorite too… then it found its mermaid.

This mermaid has modeled three of my tops so far.

Spliced two shots for this here. That there is the almost full Strawberry Moon.

And next to abandoned boats

Ok, now this is Long Island. My OG mermaid.

My freckly self. The sun has made its mark on me…

Why do teachers make the best mermaids? I’ve been trying to figure it out.

I really am just getting started here! Full costumes are my next endeavor. Stay tuned!
