Our Mermaid Shoot (on the whim ) behind the scenes.

Elena " Mum ? Can you make me some mermaid hair? "

Mum " Sure, can we take some photos?

Elena " OK "

Well that was all that was needed to get our mermaid shoot on the way.

We headed over to Pinterest to my Mermaid Board for some Inspiration. Mind you, This was at 6:30pm & the sun was down.

I usually prefer the natural light from a window. But on this occasions I wanted to try my cheap soft box light & see what results we got.

So, did her hair, just simple big curls. Added some starfish hair clips & pearl bobby pins. Whilst watching TV & eating chicken nuggets of course. We can't work on an empty stomach.

Clipped on my White Backdrop, added my light & a wooden box. I guided her posing via my Pinterest board. Do this, try that method.

My little aspiring YouTuber of a son says, mum I'll be the behind the scenes guy. He's a darling.

Stay tuned for the Photos & we shall see what we come up with.
