Underwater Portraits

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)
• Expecting parents who’d rather be weightless than propped against a tree in a field
• 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)

That’s Marie’s session, and it’s the clearest example I have of what fabric does once it’s under the surface. Nothing about that shape is possible on land.

Maternity underwater

#

Water is the one place a pregnant body gets to be weightless, and that’s most of why these work. No holding still while your back gives out, no propping yourself against a tree. She floats, the fabric does its own thing, and the session is easier on you than an hour on land.

The tradeoff is breath. You get about one good frame per breath down there, and pregnancy cuts that shorter. So we plan fewer setups, rest between each one, and you set the pace the whole way.

That one’s from a workshop hosted by Beth Graeme, the same pool as Marie’s session.
