Dive into Something Beautiful: What to Expect from an Underwater Photography Session
Underwater photography is one of the most breathtaking and transformative ways to capture femininity, strength, and serenity — whether you're celebrating pregnancy or simply want to honour yourself in a unique and powerful way. It might sound a little intimidating at first (I hear that a lot), but don’t worry — it’s far from scary. In fact, most clients leave the pool feeling calm, empowered, and more connected to their bodies than ever before.

Here’s what you can expect when you book an underwater session — and why it just might be one of the most special photo experiences you’ll ever have.
A Calm, Safe, Private Space
I shoot in a private, heated pool so no cold shivers, no public setting — just a peaceful environment where you can relax, breathe, and move at your own pace. There’s no need to hold your breath or be an Olympic swimmer. All you need are basic swimming skills and a willingness to let go and enjoy the moment.
Many of my clients are surprised by how soothing the experience is. The water supports you gently, creating a sense of lightness and freedom that’s hard to find on land. For pregnant women especially, this buoyancy can be such a relief — a rare chance to float effortlessly and connect with baby in a way that feels sacred and still.
Empowering and Beautiful
Whether you're growing new life or simply celebrating yourself, an underwater session is deeply empowering. The water removes all sense of gravity and pressure — your body moves with fluidity and grace, and everything softens. No harsh lines, no posing stress. Just you, weightless and radiant, surrounded by liquid light.
I will guide you every step of the way, offering gentle direction to help you feel confident and beautiful. You don’t have to be a model. You don’t even have to be that comfortable in front of the camera. Once you’re in the water, magic happens.
The Imagery: Ethereal & Timeless
Underwater portraits are unlike anything else. The textures of fabric floating in the current, the play of light across skin, the calm strength in your expression — it all comes together to create dreamy, otherworldly images that feel like fine art.
Maternity portraits take on a goddess-like quality — powerful, nurturing, timeless. Non-pregnant portraits often explore themes of rebirth, femininity, healing, or simply beauty for beauty’s sake. Every image is a celebration of you — just as you are, suspended in time and water.
A Note on Nerves
It’s totally normal to feel a little nervous before your session — most people do! But that nervous energy? We’ll turn it into excitement. You’ll be amazed by how quickly you relax once you’re in the water, and how freeing it feels to move without self-consciousness.
Many clients say the experience is as healing as it is fun — a chance to reconnect with their body, release tension, and see themselves with fresh, gentle eyes.
