The water clarity in San Diego is always difficult to predict that’s why I usually photograph all of my underwater portraits in swimming pools. But on this rare occasion, Kaitlyn and I headed out to La Jolla Shores for an impromptu session to show off her gorgeous mermaid tail. Although the hazy water makes things...
Christina contacted me for an underwater portrait session and her only request was to make beautiful art together. I happen to have a few maternity dresses that Christina used for the photoshoot, in addition to bringing her own bathing suits. We tried a variety of outfits and even invited her friend to join us for...
Debra contacted me because her 3 year old is a fish. She wanted to capture some underwater portraits of him because its somewhat a tradition in her home. Braedon’s older sisters had underwater portraits taken when they were learning to swim too. Although we were hoping to get underwater photos of him without the googles,...
An underwater photo session is a unique way to celebrate your inner mermaid. It’s an ethereal experience, and we’ll capture you in a weightless environment where the laws of gravity don’t apply. (And hey, if you have a mermaid tail and want to wear it, we’re open to that.) Can you swim? Before we go...
Underwater portraits are my jam. But, underwater portraits with creative people make me burst at the seams! This was the 2nd time I had the opportunity to photograph Katie, a professional violinist, underwater. Each time gets better and better. This time we photographed at rental home in La Jolla, complete with an infinity pool. Does...
The Shah family has this amazing 2 year old who happens to be a darn good swimmer for his age. Unfortunately, his mom doesn’t know how to swim but they still wanted her included in some of the photos. This would normally present us with problems but instead we did a mini photoshoot with her...
Oh those professional synchronized swimmers…they make underwater portraits look so darn easy. You may not look exactly like Tyler and Ali but if you book an underwater portrait session, I promise you, you will get the hang of it after a few minutes. Most people have never been photographed underwater, I mean this type of...
Synchronized swimmers and my photography just go together like chocolate and peanut butter (Reese’s are my favorite!). I took some photos of Tyler and Ali. The talent just oozes out of every pore.
Imagine my excitement when Katie wrote to me, interested in getting some underwater portraits taken with her violin! Katie is a professional violinist and wanted some promotional images for her portfolio. I am always extremely interested in working with creative people who think outside the box. The results were stunning. Don’t worry though! She had...
Wylander is a surfer and Maria fancies herself a mermaid so these two were perfect for an underwater portrait session. You may remember them from their La Jolla engagement session HERE but they also wanted to get some underwater engagement photos as well. These are the perfect images to show off your personalities! Wylander and Maria...
Chris and Amy actually swim for a living. It’s VERY rare to find a couple more comfortable in the water than these two. They could even hold their breath longer than me! Amy is a marine mammal trainer at SeaWorld and Chris is a professional diver. Those career choices combined with their intense love of the...
These are some of the sweetest, most polite children I have EVER met. You would think they were raised in England with the manners of these kids. They give me hope.
