Holiday Card Ready!

You’ll have the most unique holiday cards when your photos are with Santa underwater!

Underwater Portrait Sessions are fun and relaxed. If your child has a breath-hold of a minimum of 3 seconds, we pretty much guarantee we will get wonderful photos that you will love!

Parents, you can join in on the fun, too!

REGISTRATION INFO

What to Expect

Sessions last approximately 5–7 minutes. Children submerge and pose with Santa multiple times, and we will take a few shots without Santa as well. Once we are confident we have captured great photos, we will wrap up the session. We understand every child is unique and adapt to those who need a little extra time.

Session Pricing — $85

Your $85 session fee covers your dedicated photo time. We will capture individual photos of each child with Santa, sibling shots, and family photos if you wish to join in.

Your session fee includes:

  • 1 Complimentary High-Resolution Digital Image of your choice.

  • A La Carte Downloads & Prints: Additional digital images are $30 each (or 3 for $75). Physical prints start at $15 for a 4x6. You can purchase additional images, packages, and prints directly through your online gallery.

Make It Festive

Choose from our collection of holiday-themed props or feel free to bring your own. You can also get creative with outfit choices beyond traditional swimwear—matching pajamas, festive swimsuits, and even holiday sweaters look fantastic underwater!

Goggles

Goggles are optional but recommended. While standard photos without goggles are great, clear lenses are often much better than squinting or uncomfortable eyes. We provide an assortment of goggles to borrow, but feel free to bring your child’s preferred pair.

Turnaround Time

Within 3–4 weeks, you will receive an email with a link to your proof gallery along with your coupon code to redeem your free digital image.

Meet the Owner & Photographer

Hello! My name is Sarah and I’m from Austin, Texas. I’ve been working with swim schools around the world since I started my business 15 years ago. I LOVE working with kids and my super power is getting them excited to have their photo taken underwater!

I only visit swim schools once per year so be sure to catch me while I’m in your city. I can’t wait to meet you!

  • “We absolutely love the photos Sarah took of our swim students. 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!”

  • "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!"

  • "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."

  • "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."

  • "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."
