An Exhilarating 60-Minute Adventure Photoshoot

Your underwater photography session experience can vary greatly depending on your swimming capabilities and what package you select! 

Being a good swimmer is a must if you’re looking to get those deep ocean underwater photography images! Strong, confident swimmers can anticipate spending about 20 minutes at a time swimming in and treading water that’s 8-10 feet deep. Taking breaks to stay refreshed and not get pulled too far out is crucial during our underwater photoshoot. The sea is a powerful force and can take you further out without any warning. While we're out there, I'll assist in guiding you through poses to ensure that we snag those breathtaking, jaw-dropping shots. And the icing on the cake? You might come face to face with marine life!

Not the best swimmer? That’s perfectly fine! A shallow-water underwater photoshoot is another option if you feel more comfortable along the shore. What’s great about this is that you only have to go out as far and as deep as you’d like! These portraits may not capture the immense depth of the ocean images that you'd get by going further out, but they're still incredibly stunning! I also capture drone footage when shooting a session like this.
