One more thing:
Bring a Towel & a Parent!- If your child is over age 4, they may get wet if they want to lay in the sand for the waves and have water photographs. If the waves are high, we will NOT lay on the sand near the water as it may be worrying for little mermaids. The Mermaid Tails are actually designed for swimming in the water so if your child is a water baby and wants to be kissed by the Ocean on the sand, that’s perfect if they love the ocean and the waves are peaceful & calm. Please note: Child mermaids under 18 are NOT allowed fully in the water to swim, without a parent (preferably warm in a wet-suit) in the waves with them & separate release form signed. Kids do NOT have to get wet to be a Mermaid, and my littlest Mermaids normally do NOT get a water shot, unless specially requested. Many young mermaids are photographed on the sand & rocks & with the help of Photographic Digital Tools, splashing is added in. When the girls dress as mermaids, but don't swim, but pose on the sand this is a "Mermaid on the Rocks"... Many little mermaids require a strong daddy or strong mommy to lift them, as they cannot walk once the Mermaid Tail is on them, so please keep this in mind when planning your session to bring along an extra helper. Mama's who are posing with their children & also wearing tails, should especially bring along an extra friend.
