Mermaids & A Cosplay Contest, Oh My!

So last weekend, a couple friends were participating in a mermaid shoot at the beach, and at the last minute, I was invited~  It was definitely fun, the beach has BEAUTIFUL tide pools, and it was practically empty!!

I love the way this one came out~  The giant wave came up, and she just stood there, holding her expression the whole time, HAHAHA!!!

And a behind the scenes of the top photo~  Photog, Lightstand Guy, and Cosplay Checker/Adjuster Girl~

In the little tide pools, There was this big sea slug!!  SOOOO AWESOME!!!

The following day, we went to a cosplay contest at a local anime-themed shop~  Above is my good friend's too awesome cosplay of Perona from One Piece~~  And the rest...  Well, I think they speak for themselves~  Enjoy!

AX Live Gathering 2012

Anime Expo held an event this past weekend in a nearby park.  It was a lot of fun!  Though, I think the dogs stole the show, HAHAHAH!!!  Particularly, the infamous Junkers~  The above photo is my favorite shot from the shoot.  I chased these two as they were running, and held the camera low and fired away.  Got lucky, and got this shot, plus the one below, too~~

See??  They really did steal the show, HAHA!!!  So adorable~  But not to worry, I included some cosplay photos below~
