PHOTO DAYS
An All-Inclusive Experience
Hosting an Underwater Photography Day at your facility is beneficial to your business and easy and when we bring our studio to you.
No cost to the swim school
We provide promotional materials including signs and social media graphics.
Affordable pricing for parents - $129/session
We use a large aqua-colored backdrop and state-of-the-art lighting and equipment to achieve high-quality images.
We require a 10x10 space to work in. Your regular classes can resume in the remainder of the pool.
Our shoots typically run for approximately 2-3 hours, depending on the amount of signups.
We ask that you provide an instructor to assist to help provide an experience that is most similar to classes.
Turn-around is 2-3 weeks and customers can order prints and products from their own private gallery. Products are shipped to their door.
*Travel fees may apply to locations outside of the USA. Available for travel world-wide.
FREE MARKETING CONTENT
LET’S COLLAB
We give you full commercial rights to use the images we produce as long as parents sign a photo release (historically, about 90% of parents do).
HEAPS OF CONTENT!
A typical swim school shoot produces hundreds of photos that you’ll have to use for all of your promotional needs - emails, posters, handouts, advertising and more!
$$$$
This value is worth thousands of dollars in comparison to hiring a commercial photographer to produce similar imagery.
Ali Sisca, Swimfinity Swimming Academy
“We absolutely love the photos Sarah took of our swim students. Both the underwater and above water photos came out beautifully. Sarah has a very calm and easy going demeanor and she was able to keep the mood of our event light and fun. She is extremely responsive and easy to work with. We can't wait to have Sarah come and do another photo shoot at our facility next year!”
Together, we can make a difference.
Together, we can make a difference.
When we host a Photo Day at a Swim School, a portion of the funds raised from sessions are donated to Hope Floats, whose mission is to provide scholarships and tuition assistance for children who might not otherwise be able to afford swim lessons.
If your school is a Hope Floats partner, the funds will go directly into your scholarship bucket.

kind words from parents"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!"
"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."
"I love the underwater photos of my sons! Thanks for being patient. 'J' has autism and the day was a bit of sensory overload for him, but you captured sheer joy on his face... I cannot believe you were able to get these photos."
"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."

“We had a great experience working with Sarah and her team. The shoot was professional and stress-free and the families that participated had so many great things to say about the photos of their swimmers.
