Jules was such a sweet person and wonderful photographer! She was so mermazing with our 4 year and made sure she had such a fun experience. My kiddo is not a morning person and Jules still was able to capture some great photos and wonderful memories :) She even added some extra for us that included a couple family photos (even though we didn’t have fins) to share in the memories. I would recommend this experience to families, couples, bachelorette/wedding parties-tons of fun and unique photos! Thanks Jules for such a fintastic experience in Maui :) We appreciate you!

Mermaid Memories Santa Cruz exceeded all our expectations. Jules, the photographer, was professional, fun, and engaging. What set this experience apart was the attention to detail—Jules brought mermaid tails, jewelry, jewels, and headbands, the complete package! My daughter was squealing with joy & and singing to the ocean throughout her photo shoot. The resulting pictures aren’t just snapshots; they are beloved keepsakes that capture her inner joy. This experience is a fantastic event, especially for those visiting Santa Cruz. Cannot recommend enough!

I booked this as a fun way to remember our vacation, and my daughter and I had so much fun. It was our favorite part of the whole trip. The pictures were beautiful and Julie was so much fun to work with. She was very communicative before the experience.

Best mermaid experience ever! Jules helped our 6 yo celebrate her mermaid under the sea birthday at MOD and she was one of the major highlights! Jules is so patient, warm, and welcoming to all the kiddos and they loved chatting with her, taking photos, hearing stories ... Jules truly made the event MAGICAL and so special. Thank you, Jules! We had the fun opportunity to see Jules again in Capitola and my entire family smiled from ear to ear. Jules is so AWESOME!

My friend booked us this experience for when I was visiting her last month and to be honest I was a little apprehensive about the whole thing. But I didn’t need to be because it is hands down one of the best things I have ever done. Jules is incredible at making you feel at ease and making sure you have a fab time. I laughed and smiled continuously and it was such an amazing bonding experience with my friend. Even without the photos I was left with memories that will last a lifetime. When the photos arrived and we needed to choose which ones to keep, I struggled. Out of the 200 plus photos I picked 61 that I loved. I have never felt so beautiful and Jules had captured the joy of the whole experience. I never realised how much I wanted to be a mermaid up until that point! I’m back in the cold and rain of the UK now, but the next time I’m back in Santa Cruz I know I will be shimmying on that mermaid tail again 🥰🥰 Thank you mermaid memories. Jules you are the best xxx

Did the photoshoot for a bridal shower activity. Julie took us to a beautiful and secluded beach up highway one. We had the whole beach to ourselves. We all had an amazing time. Julie was communicative, kind, and inclusive. Thank you Julie!

Mermaid birthday bash Mermaid Jules was amazing. She kept the kids smiling and excited the whole time. She played games, taught the kids to swim like a mermaid. I totally would recommend her as well as book her again.

I purchased a gift certificate for my 8 year old niece to be a mermaid for a day. Julie helped her try on her tail and pick a few accessories for the Photoshoot. I think she loved the hair pieces and jewelry the best! Julie made her feel comfortable and told her how to pose her tail & my niece adored it! I recommend bringing a few towels to sit on when trying the tail on and dry off if you get wet! Julie also sells sweatshirts with her mermaid logo and my niece wanted one to wear to school to show all her friends! The fabric was really soft and warm. I recommend getting this as a fun gift certificate for your loved ones this holiday season!
