Underwater Portrait Photography:
Immersive Portraits, Unforgettable Experiences
Water is a sacred element that connects us to our essence and returns us to our source. Like women, water shape-shifts, flowing and contouring around the obstacles that come its way. While water cannot control the forces that alter it, it moves gracefully and powerfully, forever in motion constantly redefining itself and everything in its path.
Each underwater session becomes a unique experience, as no two moments are ever the same. You converge with the water and light to create a one-of-a-kind fine art portrait. Your body and spirit become the focal point, whether you choose to explore a boudoir style or embrace the beauty of fabrics and textures. I am honored to help bring this enchanting piece to life, creating a stunning portrait of you.
Natural Spring Underwater Portraits
Welcome to a truly unique portrait experience in Tampa. Nestled in a serene, hidden oasis along the Hillsborough River in Tampa, I curate one-of-a-kind portrait sessions in my private natural spring. With the spring's water consistently flowing at a refreshing 72 degrees, the spring creates an ethereal, dreamlike atmosphere perfect for capturing breathtaking underwater portraits.
The spring is perfect for you if you like a natural backdrop where you become the highlight of a beautiful, unique backdrop. My private studio is the perfect place to get ready before the session, enjoy an indoor or outdoor shower after the shoot. My underwater portraits sessions end with a lot of laughter and excitement, and I look forward to experiencing the joy of something so unique with you!
“I am so thrilled with the portraits you took. I felt so free and at ease underwater with you. Thank you for taking the time to go over everything so I would look and feel my best underwater. I absolutely love my portrait, it was the best gift I could have given myself. ”
Underwater Portraits in a Pool
Underwater portraits in a pool are an ideal choice for those seeking a bright, clean backdrop that adds an element of elegance and serenity to their photos. The controlled environment of a pool ensures clear visibility, making it easier to capture stunning, detailed shots with minimal distractions. This setting is especially popular for maternity portraits, where flowing gowns and rich colors or textures can be beautifully showcased against the smooth, calming water.
“Wowza, Jen!!!! Fantastic pictures. These are just outstanding!!!!! You have an absolute gift to be able to turn a soggy session in chilly water into magic! ”
