underwater mini photography sessions

These relaxed and fun sessions capture special moments beneath the surface. Suitable for all ages this offering includes a professional mini underwaterphotography session at Christmas Island Recreation Centre. Whether you're looking to capture the movement of an individual swim portrait, playful bombies, or the magic of a child’s first breath hold, these sessions are designed to create unique, and timeless imagery.

With a relaxed and fun approach in these 20 minute block pool mini underwater photography sessions, Sarah creates an environment where you can feel at ease, allowing for natural, expressive, and beautifully artistic underwater portraits. 

  • Session Details

    ~ Each mini session is a 20-minute pre-booked block, allowing time to capture a stunning variety of shots

    ~ Bookings are essential to secure your session

    ~ Suitable for 1–6 people

    ~ Photos can be taken in the shallow or deep end (depending on swimming ability)

    ~ Children under 11 require supervision

    ~ Non-swimming babies & toddlers must be held by a parent and Sarah will gently guide underwater movements

    ~ Every session is designed to be fun, relaxed, and adaptable to all comfort levels, ensuring a seamless experience and beautiful images.

  • What to Expect

    Underwater mini sessions are dynamic, guided, and designed to bring out the best in every shot. While the sessions are relaxed and fun, Sarah provides direction to capture the best out of the images.

    Expect a combination of:
    ~ Candid and organic moments – effortless expressions, smiles, and connection
    ~ Guided posing and movement tips – ensuring graceful, natural, and vibrant images
    ~ Adaptability – whether it’s a playful, artistic, or intimate approach, each session is customised to suit

    Even if moving underwater feels unfamiliar, I promise you look more graceful than you sometimes feel

  • HAND EDITED WITH LOVE

    Editing underwater images is as much an art as it is a skill, and every photo is hand-edited with care to bring out its full potential.

    Water plays with light in fascinating ways, creating dreamy reflections, shifting colours, and organic movement. Sarah takes the time to refine each image, balancing natural skin tones, enhancing depth and contrast, and removing small distractions—like floating bubbles, rogue pool toys, or reflections that take away from the beauty of the moment.

    The result? Authentic, vibrant, and beautifully polished underwater portraits that inspire smiles.

  • The best underwater portraits come from simple, elegant, and flowing outfits.
    Here are some suggestions:
    ~ Swimwear – your usual swimwear is perfect for fun, natural images.
    ~ Flowy dresses or skirts – for a more artistic, ethereal look, lightweight fabrics that move beautifully in the water create stunning effects.
    ~ Freediving or Swim Equipment – masks, long fins and swim caps can be incorporated for a sleek, underwater aesthetic.
    X No goggles please – while practical, goggles tend to distract from facial expressions in photos.
