WHAT TO EXPECT
These sessions are designed to be playful, candid, and full of fun! We provide a safe and encouraging environment where your child is fully supported by an instructor throughout the experience.
Each session is 20 minutes long, giving us plenty of time to capture a variety of candid moments and posed images as they splash and play in the water.
What to Wear
We encourage cute swimwear for these sessions—bright colors are especially fun and look amazing underwater!
Mermaid tails are also a wonderful option for a magical touch. To ensure everyone stays safe and we make the most of our time together getting great photos, please make sure your child has practiced swimming in the tail first to get the hang of it.
SIBLINGS
Sign up multiple kids in one session and we will take photos of them both together and individually.
If you have more than 3 kids, we can fit them all in one session but we recommend booking two back-to-back sessions so that each child has ample, un-rushed time in front of the camera.

Capture a side of their childhood you rarely get to see. This summer, we’re turning underwater play into stunning, professional portraits that belong on your walls, not your phone.FAQs
-
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!)
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!
OUR GIVE–BACK POLICY
3% of your session fee is donated to the Hope Floats Foundation. If your school is a partner of Hope Floats, then the funds will go directly into their bucket. You also have the opportunity to make an additional donation when registering for a session.
Hope Floats partners with high-quality swim schools to provide scholarships for swimming lessons for children living in poverty. Hope Floats raises money by partnering with individuals, businesses, and foundations that want to be a force for good in their communities. Scholarships and tuition assistance is provided to children who might not otherwise be able to afford swim lessons.
