This Isn’t a Traditional Underwater Shoot

Unlike a standard portrait session, Coming Up For Air begins with a conversation. Together we'll explore what this chapter represents, develop a creative concept, and create imagery that reflects more than just how you looked at a point in time.

Whether you're celebrating a milestone, moving through a period of change, honouring a personal achievement, overcoming a challenge, or stepping into a new beginning, these sessions are designed to create meaningful artwork connected to that experience. Before entering the water, we'll take a moment to acknowledge the intention behind the session. Nothing complicated or ceremonial—simply a chance to pause, reflect, and create a deeper connection to the images we're about to make.

Photographed in the ocean or a pool, the experience combines creative direction, underwater photography, and personal storytelling to produce imagery that feels powerful, authentic, and unique to you.

This session is ideal for people who:

Are marking a significant life transition or milestone

Want to celebrate personal growth, resilience, or achievement

Have experienced a major change and want to honour that chapter

Want artwork with personal meaning beyond a traditional portrait session

Are looking for a unique and memorable creative experience

Images can be captured partially in the water or fully underwater depending on conditions, comfort level, and experience.

At 36 weeks pregnant, in the ocean, on the land, feeling the fresh air…you made me feel comfortable and at ease, both in and out of the water. Memories through your photography that I will cherish forever, I can’t wait to share these with my little one. Thank you!"
