Poolside Dreams: A Playful & Creative Underwater Maternity Shoot

Underwater maternity sessions in a pool are such a beautiful way to capture this special time. The calm, controlled environment means there’s no need to swim past waves or deal with changing tides—just you, your partner, and the camera in a quiet, relaxed setting. It’s the perfect space to feel at ease, move freely, and get creative with flowing fabrics, flowers, or even shells—props that can be tricky to manage in the ocean.

Being in the water while pregnant also brings a sense of lightness and calm, easing pressure on the body and allowing for truly serene, dreamlike photos. It’s more than a photo shoot—it’s an experience that celebrates the beauty and strength of motherhood in the most gentle and artistic way.

My client Mon loves colour—it's a big part of who she is. From the way she dresses to how she expresses herself, her vibrant aesthetic shines through. For her session, she wanted to bring that bold, joyful energy into the water by adding a pop of colour through her outfit and props, making the shoot feel even more personal and true to her style.

A beautiful blend of creativity, colour, and calm—this pool session was a true celebration of Mon’s vibrant spirit and the magic of motherhood.

I hope you enjoyed the read.

With Love,
