Mermaids are LIVE for booking! These will book fast! I wish I could accommodate everyone! Let's wrap up summer with some sunset on the beach magic!

It's what got me started, 10 years ago, and I'm bringing them back! What better way to say goodbye to summer, than by a magical transformation on the beach at sunset. Session fee is $199 and includes the full mermaid transformation. Sessions are 15 minutes- with an additional few minutes to change o...
