Underwater Portraits

Underwater portraits in a private pool. Rare in North Texas, planned out in advance, safe the whole way through.

My signature session, and one of the few underwater portrait setups in North Texas.

Who it’s for
#

  • Seniors, juniors, and college grads who want photos that don’t look like anyone else’s (pair it with a senior session and the combo is $900)
  • Athletes who want motion and intensity in a way you can’t get on land
  • Brands and creatives building a personal brand (see brand portraits)
  • Couples looking for an editorial set
  • Artists and influencers who want something with actual weight to it
  • Kids and families wanting portraits that feel like pure joy (this is what a pool day with my own kids looks like)

What to expect
#

Planning call We’ll go over your concept, wardrobe, and the look you want before we ever get in the water. Nothing about it gets improvised.

All ages

Underwater sessions

Same pool, same setup, very different sessions. Grads, athletes, and kids.

Reach out

Tell me what you're picturing.

Underwater takes more planning than land sessions. The more you share up front, the better the shoot.

I'll text or email you back within 1-2 days.
Real questions

Things people ask

Do I need to be a strong swimmer?
You should be comfortable in water, but you don’t need to be an Olympic swimmer. We’ll go at your pace.
What should I wear?
Flowing fabrics photograph beautifully underwater. We’ll plan wardrobe together during our consultation.
Where do you shoot?
Sessions take place in a private backyard pool. Either mine or yours if you have one available.
Is it safe?
Safety is my top priority. We’ll do a full briefing before getting in the water, and you’re always in control.
Can I combine this with a senior or brand session?
Yes. A lot of people pair underwater with a land session for variety. The combo is $900, which saves you $100 over booking them separately. We plan both together.
If the subject is under 18, does a parent need to be there?
Yes. For any underwater session with a minor, a parent or guardian needs to stay poolside for the entire session. Water shoots are safety-first and I’m strict about having an adult on deck.

Got something in mind?

I book a limited number of sessions each month, so the calendar fills up. Tell me what you have in mind and we'll find a date that works.
