Ready to dive in?

Send me your photos today and let’s make them as unforgettable as the moment itself.

Get Your Dream Edits

Need your photos to go from “meh” to mer-mazing?

You know that feeling. You finally get your photos back from a shoot, or you scroll through the shots you took on your epic adventure.

At first glance, they’re fine. But then you notice:

The colors feel flat and lifeless.
The lighting doesn’t capture how magical it really looked.
There’s a weird object in the background stealing the spotlight.
And no matter how many filters you try, nothing makes them look like you.

Let Me Edit Your Photos

Imagine This Instead…

Your photos edited Professionally

Balanced colors, straightened lines, distractions gone.

More time for YOU

Travel, adventure, connect, live… without spending endless nights hunched over Lightroom.

Images that truly reflect your vibe

Dreamy, bold, moody, vibrant… whatever YOU want.

Confidence in your visuals

Knowing your feed, blog, or business gallery stands out for all the right reasons.

Why me?

Why am I the Mermaid for the Job?

I’m Alexandra – travel photographer, adventure blogger, and editing nerd behind The Bucket List Mermaid.

From dreamy landscapes to dark castles to professional photoshoots, I’ve edited it all.

I know how much your photos mean to you – they’re not just pixels, they’re memories. That’s why I treat every single shot like it’s my own.

Let me help you adventure more and edit less!

LET’S KEEP IT HONEST…

Is This Right For You?

This is Perfect for you if…

Just had a photo shoot and want your photos to match your style
Run a blog, business, or brand and don’t have time to edit
Want professional-quality edits without the steep learning curve

Sounds Great! Let’s Get Started!

You Might want to find something else if…

You don’t want to share your vision. I edit best when we collaborate.
You expect heavy Photoshop magic. I specialize in Lightroom, not major manipulations.
You expect perfection overnight. I work quickly, but quality takes time. If you need 100 photos in 24 hours, I’m probably not your match.

Still Have Doubts? Let’s Clear Them Up

I get it – trusting someone else with your photos can feel scary.
They’re your memories, your brand, your story. So let’s talk through the most common worries (and why you don’t have to stress).

That’s a fair concern. Editing is personal. That’s why I work with you – not just for you. I’ll send preview edits so you can share feedback before I finalize everything. My goal is for you to say, “Yes! That’s exactly what I wanted.”

Great question — and you’re not alone! I edit phone photos and JPEGs all the time. While RAW files give me the most editing flexibility (think: a fully stocked toolbox), JPEGs and phone shots are more like a travel-sized kit.

I can absolutely polish, enhance, and transform them beautifully — there are just a few natural limits on how much detail and depth I can recover.

But don’t worry — if JPEGs or phone photos are what you have, I’ll still make sure they shine. Just please adjust your expectations accordingly 😉

Nope! This isn’t a cookie-cutter operation. I look at each photo individually – its lighting, composition, subject, and emotion – and edit with intention. If you want all the photos to look the same, I might create a preset for your other photos and then edit from there.

Because I care about your vision as much as you do. I’m not here to crank out edits in bulk. I’m here to create photos that feel like you. My entire approach is collaborative, transparent, and focused on results that make you proud to share your images.

Absolutely. Instead of spending hours tweaking sliders in Lightroom (and still not loving the results), you’ll hand me your photos and get polished, ready-to-use images – giving you more time to adventure, create content, or simply live your life.

Absolutely! The photos still belong to you and can be used for whatever you wish.

All photos are private and never shared to any external parties.

I prefer high-res JPEGs or RAW files (like .CR2, .NEF, or .ARW), but if you only have JPEGs, that’s totally fine — just send me the highest resolution you’ve got!

Not automatically – but if you’d like a custom preset based on your edits, I offer that as an add-on! Just ask and I’ll create a reusable preset tailored to your brand or style.

Why Not Just Copy and Paste a Random Instagram Filter?

Let’s be honest – you could just paste on a free filter. But these are lifeless, non-coherent, ignore specific problems, and aren’t unique to you.

Imagine what’s possible when you say yes to pro editing:

Free up HOURS of time

More time for you to live, create, connect, and explore – while I handle the edits.

Keep It Unique

Show off your personality and style with cohesive, striking photos that feel different from the masses.

More professional

Level up your brand, blog, or business with content that actually reflects the quality of what you do.

Bring Your Photos Back to LIfe

Fall back in love with your photos, even the ones you thought weren’t “good enough.”

Stay in your zone of genius

Do what’s important – creating content, growing your business, or adventuring the world.

Custom Solutions for Your Pictures

No more “one-shoe-fits-all” filters that make some photos look bad while others look amazing.
