Filming a commercial video of Mermaid Classes for Girls as a brand videographer
There are some projects that remind me why I fell in love with storytelling through video—and filming Geneviève Rouleau’s mermaid classes was exactly that. Blending whimsy, water, and wonder, this shoot brought fantasy to life in the most magical way.
Geneviève Rouleau, a passionate entrepreneur from Quebec, Canada, has built a business rooted in childhood dreams. Her Mermaid Classes offer young girls the opportunity to transform into shimmering sea princesses—learning to swim in a real mermaid tail, playing in the water, and living out their underwater fairytale. It’s the perfect experience for birthdays or any little one looking for something unforgettable. You can learn more about her classes on her official mermaid page.
“Watch in awe as your child’s legs transform into a shimmering mermaid tail!”

Filming at Casa Carrizo, Mexico
For this shoot, we swapped the chilly waters of Canada for the sun-soaked warmth of Mexico, filming on location at Casa Carrizo, a dreamy, tropical home that made the perfect backdrop. (If you’re curious about the house, check out the Airbnb photos I took here!)
We filmed two little girls during their mermaid experience—complete with colorful tails, joyful splashes, and wide-eyed wonder. The 50-minute session was filled with laughter, graceful underwater twirls, and a sense of pure delight. Geneviève guided them every step of the way with patience and care, helping them build confidence in the water while creating beautiful, lasting memories.
The class includes:
- Choice of tail color
- A small photoshoot
- Floatation devices for non-swimmers
- A tiny keepsake to take home
- And most of all—a whole lot of fun!

Capturing Imagination Through the Lens as a Brand Videographer
This project reminded me how powerful visual storytelling can be—especially when the subject is as joyful and genuine as this one. Whether I’m shooting fashion campaigns, underwater adventures, or meaningful brand moments, my goal is always the same: to make people feel something.
Huge thanks to Geneviève for trusting me with this story, and to the two amazing little mermaids for bringing all the magic to life.
If you’re a brand looking to create a video that captures the heart of your story, I’d love to hear from you.
