Let's Make Something Extraordinary

There's no other portraiture experience quite like this one. Underwater, gravity releases its hold, fabric billows and flows, light bends in ways it simply can't on land — and something unexpected happens to the people in front of the camera. They let go. And that's when the magic happens.

Every session includes a posing coach and safety swimmer in the water with you throughout — so you can focus on the experience while we handle the rest. No prior modeling experience required. No swimming prowess necessary. Just a willingness to try something you've never done before.

Sessions are available for individuals, couples, and families. Contact us to talk through which package is the right fit.

Your Images

Your un-retouched images will be ready to preview in a private online gallery within two weeks of your session. We'll schedule a call or Zoom to go through them together and identify your favorites — there's no pressure, and no guesswork. Once you've made your selections, retouched files will be delivered to your gallery within 14 days, as high-resolution JPEGs ready for printing in any size.

Retouching / editing:

A lot goes into preparing an image for printing or publishing. Color correction, contrast, clarity and saturation adjustments, skin smoothing, bubble, haze and particle removal, waterline cleanup, background repairs, and much more. We spend up to an hour per image getting every image perfect, so you can be proud to hang it in your home.

  • Individual image: $95

  • Package of 5 images: $425 ($85/image)

  • Package of 10 images: $750 ($75/image)

  • Package of 15 images: $975 ( $65/image)

Prints

We're happy to help you turn your images into something you can actually hang on the wall. Through our trusted print vendors, we can source canvas, acrylic, metal, wood, and fine art paper prints in virtually any size — framed or unframed. When the time comes, we'll guide you through the options. Or, if you prefer, take your retouched high-res files to the printer of your choice.

(Un-retouched images are not released.)

  • A 50% non-refundable deposit is due at booking; the remainder is due by the shoot date.
