Down Under with Natalie | Naples Underwater Maternity Photography

I LOVE Natalie! We spent weeks trying to find the perfect day to shoot since we had a few close calls on baby Gianna coming sooner than anticipated – it was so worth it (baby girl came 6 days later!). I always have a great time doing underwater work, and this was the first time we got to use our new underwater housing by Ewa-Marine. We did the shoot at her home and it was such a great time and workout! I hope you all enjoy the images because I absolutely loved it! (We just HAD to do the red because her maiden last name was Redd and it was one of my favorite fabric colors.)

Anya’s Dream | Naples Underwater Photography

It’s amazing what a little early birthday present can unleash! My love, Kerry, gave me my birthday present a little early this year – an underwater camera. It didn’t take long for this girl to get into the pool. Underwater is so different than “land photography”. From posing underwater, to expressions without breathing, to zero verbal communication underwater – the challenges are difficult, but so exhilarating.

I love being able to unleash both mine and my subject’s creativity (and staying cool during the weirdly warm Florida winter). Here’s a session I did with my muse Anya.

I hope you enjoyed the session! Let me know what you think about it below in the comments!

Naples Underwater Photography Session | Heather + Stephanie

Last month, I had my first taste of shooting underwater, it was with a few friends who came from out of town and out of state and we never really left the pool or beach. The first few frames I ever shot were with a iPhone5 in a LifeProof case. When I saw the photos in post, I just had to keep doing it! I did a ton of research (naturally!), but I was not ready to pay upwards of 2k for a housing I was afraid would sit on the shelf, so I looked into an underwater point and shoot camera. Now, a lot of people bash point and shoots because they aren’t “real cameras”, but the best camera is always the one you have with you (not my quote – I think Chase Jarvis said this). I felt limited when I would go out with friends and didn’t want to lug around a huge DSLR, so it just felt right that I should buy a point and shoot that fit in my dress pocket. I did A LOT of research, watched a ton of YouTube videos on the different types of underwater or “rugged” or “Anna Proof” cameras and found the one to be most beneficial to myself was the Nikon AW110. There are some limitations, but with limitations, my experience in photography really comes into play. Below, you will find a mixture of iPhonegraphy images underwater with another fellow photographer, Stephanie Lynn, and underwater images I shot recently with the lovely Heather.

Enjoy!

Can you tell the difference between the two cameras? Let me know what you think by commenting below!
