You know how people say there’s no right way to be a parent? Well, that wisdom absolutely applies to maternity shoots too because there is no right way to capture the journey you’re on. 

But, that being said, I have a suggestion. Recently, I had the incredible opportunity to train with a highly regarded underwater photographer from Australia, and it completely transformed the way I think about capturing this transformative journey.

As someone who’s always looking for ways to tell your story in the most authentic way possible, I’m thrilled to now offer underwater maternity photography that goes beyond traditional poses and into something that comes a little bit closer to capturing that magic of growing your family.

Kim’s Underwater Maternity Shoot

When Kim first reached out about doing a maternity photoshoot, I immediately got the vibe that we could try something different. Something that captured not just how she looked, but how this whole journey felt. Pregnancy is this wild, beautiful, sometimes surreal experience, and traditional maternity shoots (while lovely, don’t get me wrong) don’t always capture that ethereal quality.

The beauty of underwater maternity photos is how they mirror the actual experience – you’re floating in this in-between space, weightless and powerful all at once, creating life in a way that feels both ancient and completely new.

What I love most about Kim’s underwater maternity photography session is how the images capture the ethereal nature of the pregnancy journey. There’s something about being suspended in water that brings out this goddess-like quality – the way camera catches the light in the water, how hair floats, the gentle curves of your growing belly catching light in ways that feel almost otherworldly.

Throughout Kim’s maternity photoshoot underwater, we captured moments that feel both grounded and dreamlike. The underwater maternity shoot gave us the freedom to play with movement and stillness in ways that traditional sessions simply can’t achieve. One moment Kim was floating peacefully, the next she was submerged with light surrounding her. Each frame shows a new, beautiful part of her story.

Something Unique About Water

There’s no right way to capture your growing family, but I love the idea of doing something different than what everyone else is doing. Unique water maternity photos offer something traditional shoots can’t – they show the fluidity of this transformative time, the way you’re literally creating life while navigating your own changing body and identity.

What makes an underwater maternity photo session special isn’t just the artistic quality (although trust me, these images are stunning). It’s about how the experience itself mirrors pregnancy – you’re learning to move in a new way, trusting your body to do something it’s never done before, and surrendering to a process that’s both beautiful and a little bit scary.

The water holds you the way you’re holding your baby. It supports you, moves with you, and creates this safe space where you can just be – no performance required, no forced smiles, just you in this incredible in-between moment.

What Makes This Different From Traditional Maternity Photography

Don’t get me wrong – I love a good golden hour maternity session with flowing dresses in a meadow. But underwater maternity photography offers something else entirely. The way light moves through water, how your body becomes graceful in ways gravity doesn’t allow, the dreamlike quality that perfectly captures how surreal this whole journey can feel.

While most underwater maternity photoshoots require a rented pool, don’t worry – it’s an easy process and I handle all of the logistics for you. All you need to do is show up, slip into the water, and let me capture the magic. We’ll work together to find outfits that move beautifully underwater, and I’ll guide you through poses that feel natural and comfortable.

The sessions themselves are surprisingly relaxing. There’s something meditative about being in the water, and many of my clients tell me it was one of the most peaceful experiences of their pregnancy.
