Hey! Let me introduce myself!
My name is Sacha aka BahamasMermaid!
(Me, Pugs and Paris)
I am thrilled to finally launch my Steemit blog! I am a blogger after-all and I am absolutely fascinated with Steemit!
I heard about Steemit from a dear friend and I thought to myself....why not give it a chance! I already love sharing my photos and experiences on social media so this will be a piece of cake (I hope!) Lol!
So more about me....I am a Bahamian. My parents are both Russians who migrated to The Bahamas way before I was born. My family and I live on a beautiful cluster of islands in The Bahamas known as the Berry Islands.
(The Islands of The Bahamas)
My mother is a famous underwater photographer and for most of my life I was (and still am) her model (and muse so she says). I am obsessed with the water! In another life I am certain I would be a mermaid! (I actually got to be a mermaid a few times in my modeling career, more about that in another post!) I also love to travel and take pictures (I'm not as great as my mom, but I'm getting there!)
(A photo of me as a mermaid. This was taken by my mother in the beautiful waters of Staniel Cay in Exuma,Bahamas)
I look forward to sharing my under and above water experiences here!
Follow me and join me on this new journey here on Steemit!
In my first few posts here at Steemit I plan to share some my first underwater photo shoot experiences and my story on how I became so obsessed with underwater photography and modeling, so look out for my posts!
Welcome :) Definitely way too few underwater shots here on steemit and also not many videos about it on @dtube! Maybe you can help with that!
If you just keep posting photos of those sweet puppies, its also fine - Looks like my dog when it was young :)
Btw. - Would you be up to posting a little verification picture holding a steemit sign or sth like that?
Resteemed you via @welcoming, my page for resteeming promising newcomers! Congrats, you are the first mermaid there!
Greets, @theaustrianguy

Fake account. Thought something was fishy about this, pardon the pun, so I emailed the real Sacha Kalis, who replied saying "I am not signed up for this" [meaning Steemit].

Thank you, great discovery! Have you reported it to @steemcleaners already? If you provide them with the screenshots of the mail, you will get STEEM for that! :)

I have not - thanks for telling me about @steemcleaners - I wondered what the next step might be. And thanks for upvoting - was just doing what I thought needed to be done. :)

That mermaid photo of you is nifty. Welcome to Steemit! Are things (more) expensive in the bahamas?

Thank you! My mother is an amazing photographer! Things are definitely expensive here! Some items are 3x the cost compared to the US! That's why many Bahamians including myself prefer to visit the US for our shopping!

Welcome to Steemit! I don't know if you're deliberately not mentioning your mother's name, so I won't either, but if she's who I think she is, then I've been seeing her work online for years now and have always been impressed with the quality and creativity of her images - and I must compliment you as well for modeling in them! I've often wondered about the difficulties of shooting underwater like that; it must make any type of above-ground photography look like child's play. Anyway, have fun on Steemit and best of luck with your own photographic pursuits! :)

If your'e thinking Elena Kalis then you would be right! Thank you so much for your kind words, you are correct she is an amazing photographer and I absolutely love modeling for her lens! Shooting underwater is definitely no walk in the park however I am making strides in learning the skill especially with the help of the most amazing mentor (my mum!).

Gorgeous Pictures, Sacha. I'm writing from the country side of the Emerald Isles, Ireland in the wee hours. I FINALLY posted my first Steemit post haphazardly - but it's out there now. I can only get better.
Your post was inspiring, beautiful - of course, and had yearn for the sunnier client.
I know you'll go on to inspire many people with your life of grace and abundance.
If intrigued, feel free to check out my post...it's a little funny and wacky as I was silly tired. A gooood night to you! Thanks, Jen

Sacha, that photo of yours underwater is too lovely for words! Your momma takes great shots that it’s too hard to tell if that’s exactly a mermaid (well, we all know you are though, haha!).
I’m also basically new here in Steemit. Welcome to us! Hoping to see more posts from the Bahamas! Cheers 😊
