Underwater Is For You
Thinking About an Underwater Session?
Your Questions Answered.
So you’ve seen those dreamy, ethereal underwater portraits — like a fairytale come to life — and you're wondering… could I actually do this?
The short answer: Yes, you can.
And below, I’ll walk you through what you need to know — from safety to style to investment — so you feel excited (not overwhelmed!) about diving into this magical experience.
Do I have to be a good swimmer?
Not at all. Many of my clients aren’t strong swimmers, and some don’t swim at all. These sessions are done in safe, shallow water settings like pools or calm natural locations. We’ll go at your pace, and you’ll never be asked to do anything outside your comfort level. I also provide an in-water safety person(s) that watches out for all us in case anything goes awry.
What if I’m nervous about posing or looking awkward?
That’s completely normal — and exactly why I’m here. I guide you through everything from breathing techniques to body positioning. We start above water with gentle coaching so you can feel grounded and ready. Underwater, you’ll be amazed at how flowing fabrics and graceful movement create stunning images — even if it feels playful or strange in the moment.
What do I wear for an underwater session?
You’ll have access to a curated wardrobe of flowing, fantasy-inspired garments designed to move beautifully in water. Or you’re welcome to bring your own pieces that match your personal vision. We’ll chat beforehand to align on your desired aesthetic — whether it’s mermaid goddess, mystical warrior, dreamy siren, or something uniquely you.
What about hair and makeup?
Underwater styling is different, but beautiful in its own way. You can come camera-ready with waterproof products, or we can discuss professional styling options. Many clients embrace the wild, free movement of their hair and the natural shimmer of water for an authentic, mythical look.
I’m self-conscious about my body — what if I don’t like how I look underwater?
You are not alone. Many of my clients share this concern — and end up feeling more confident and radiant than ever. These sessions are designed to celebrate your strength, softness, and story. Through expert posing, lighting, and guidance, I create space for you to feel powerful, held, and magical in your own skin.
How much does it cost?
I offer flexible session packages designed to suit different budgets and dreams. The base session includes pre-shoot planning, wardrobe access, and guided coaching, with customizable add-ons for artwork, extra images, or extended shoot time. This allows you to shape your experience — and your investment — in a way that works for you.
What’s the first step to book?
Start by scheduling a free discovery call. We’ll chat about your vision, answer any questions, and make sure you feel fully supported. From there, we’ll reserve your date with a session retainer and begin the fun part — planning your underwater transformation!
Final Thoughts:
Doing something new — especially something as intimate and imaginative as an underwater session — takes courage. If you’re feeling curious, nervous, excited, or all of the above, that’s a sign you're ready to grow into a version of yourself you haven’t met yet.
Let’s dive in and meet you!
