After over a decade of working in all types of pools around the city of Austin and the rest of the world, the dream of building a custom studio pool finally became a reality. Every single aspect of the build was designed with underwater photography in mind and how Sarah could best serve her clients.

behind the lens
My photography obsession began in 2010 when I discovered underwater photography and decided to combine my love of the arts with my love for people and human connection.
A little bit of magic happens in the water, when bodies are weightless, images are mirrored in unpredictable reflections and the elements of water create an always-changing backdrop.
Learning to shoot in this ethereal environment is unlike shooting on land. There are many other variables to consider when shooting underwater! But with many years of experience, I am 100% confident every time I go into a shoot that my subject and I are going to create something wonderful and unique together.
If you aren't sure exactly what your vision for your session is, I'm here to help! It's so important to me to understand your wants and needs and help you bring that vision to life.
If my work resonates with you, then Iβd love to hear from you.

Padi Advanced Open Water
With over 100 logged dives, I am very comfortable operating camera equipment while navigating open water.
For most pool-based shoots, scuba equipment is not necessary. I prefer to hold my breath and have the ability to easily converse with my subjects in between submersions.
