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. However, the focus of the session is on the child.

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

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 until they’re ready to participate.

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 “pass” 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.

You’re welcome to bring a favorite toy or two if it brings your child joy or comfort in the water. (But let’s not get carried away!)
