All about the Photo Shoot

The Above and Underwater Photo Sessions are held in the warm waters of a private pool in Great Cransley with a professional and experienced underwater photographer using highly specialized equipment (see www.starfishphoto.co.uk).  The underwater studio features a blue backdrop, backlighting and the use of a top of the range SLR camera for the highest quality results.

​

In a 30-minute time slot, a small group of parents and babies will experience being photographed above and below the water. You will have a specially trained Bubble Babies instructor submerging the babies with the latest top spec photographic equipment ensuring that 4 to 6 images are captured per second. This means that a substantial gallery of photos builds up with even one submersion and babies can relax and enjoy rests before choosing to be photographed again.

​

​As well as individual pictures of your child, you may also opt afterwards to have family photos all together: Baby, Siblings, Mum and Dad as well!

Can my friend bring her baby for a photo?

The underwater photo shoots are open to everybody but we do insist that all babies must have experienced a swimming course involving a gradual and progressive programme of underwater work so that they are physically and mentally ready for the event.

Booking

There is a fixed cost of £30 for attending the shoot with £20 extra for siblings.  This is unfortunately strictly non-refundable as our costs for pool hire, the photographer etc remain the same regardless of whether or not you are able to attend on the day or how good the resulting photos turn out to be.  We can, however, offer a free re-shoot at the next underwater photo session.  The booking fee does not cover the cost of photographs.

 

Photograph prices and sizes

You can order professional prints of your photos or digital high resolution jpeg images on a USB. You can use the digital images to print multiple photographs, canvas prints, mugs, jigsaws & more by uploading to an online photo lab. Please click here for up to date prices.

Your above and underwater photos are fantastic souvenirs of your earliest swims together!  As baby grows, you are very welcome to come along to subsequent photo shoots and to keep a fabulous running record of baby’s swimming progress.
