H2WU Underwater Story-
UW Mermaid Series- Mermaid in the Open Sea.

During our recent adventure in Big Island, Hawaii, we successfully conducted undersea photoshoots. A big thanks to our dear friend Swan @focushawaiimodelsandtalent for assisting us in recruiting talented models from her agency for the photo sessions. Our amazing mermaid, Raechel, displayed her extraordinary skills and artistry, helping us create stunning underwater images.

I’m still in shock…
SireNea and I got the cover 😳
Thank you @retrolovelymagazine 🙏🏻🧜🏻‍♀️💖🖤 The Kreepy & The Kooky duo has emerged💀🤪
I can finally share adventure and I couldn’t be more proud.
My very first underwater shoot thanks to my dear friend @croatiansiren SireNea who asked me if I wanted to come with to amazing photographer @h2wupix and 2-handed 😮makeup artist @marylvelbeck
What an experience! I fell in love and can’t wait to create more underwater magic. I’ve finally learned how to properly breathe and stay underwater now, so I can’t wait to test it out next time. Plus with my new tail we can create even more magic ✨
