Meet the owner & Photographer

Hello! My name is Sarah and I’m from Austin, Texas. I’ve been working with swim teams around the country since I started my business 15 years ago. I LOVE working with swimmers to show off their power and athleticism from a totally unique perspective.

I only work with swim teams once per year so be sure to not miss your event. I can’t wait to meet you!

FAQs

  • Goggles are optional and sometimes preferred! While often parents prefer their child to go without, in some cases, it’s better to use them – seeing their eyes through a clear lens is often better than them looking squinty-eyed and uncomfortable. We bring goggles to have on hand but bring your own if you think you might need them. Some kids are quite particular about their eyewear!

  • Yes! Parents are welcome and encouraged to join in too.

  • A minimum breath hold of 3 seconds is enough time for us to get great photos.

  • Sessions are 5-7 minutes long. Some children require a little bit more time than others. Our priority is working with them until we have enough good images to provide a full gallery.

  • Our approach is very calm and gentle an we do everything we can to make sure the child is comfortable and having fun. If for some reason the child is having a difficult time, we may decide it’s best to give them a short break and move on to the next session. We will come back to them when they are ready.

  • Yes! We have a ton of experience photographing babies underwater. If your baby is doing submersions in class and is able to be underwater for 2-3 seconds, we will be able to get photos of them.

    We recommend being prepared to get in the water with your baby if necessary. Sometimes they want to have a parent nearby. We can also do a β€œpass” from instructor to parent which is a helpful method for getting good photos.

  • Yes! In fact, we prefer if you are next to the pool to cheer on your child and provide support as needed.

Underwater photos are special.

"I keep telling myself that doing the under water pictures is one if the best ideas I've ever had! People ask me about them all the time. When he gets old enough, we want to have a pool party and have you take pictures again!"

 
More Kind Words from Parents

"Amazing photo shoot underwater. My nieces and me had so much fun and Sarah was so patient and kind.We got canvas and it is so beautiful and colours are amazing.Everyone who visited us said what an amazing photo. Can't wait to do it again."

"Our session was very easy. We got there, dressed my daughter in her suit, played around in the pool, and had our photo shoot. She was also in a good mood, so session was easy."
