1. We are instinctively connected with nature and water on a physical, cognitive, and emotional level.
If you didn't know.. we are actually created in water. We grow in amniotic fluid from the very first day. Therefore is innate to us to go back to were we came from and reconnect with the natural world.

2. Underwater maternity photos make you look amazing
as the body float and all those insecurities we have when we put on weight disappear underwater, your skin looks better, the water textures on the body create magical effect that looks really arty and earthy, all your body parts are suspended in the water, the fact there's no gravity helps to the little imperfections to disappear underwater and this will make you love the final result even more.

3. Double flotation therapy session for mom & bub
Being in the water promotes
a double floating sensation
for the baby,
who's already floating inside mom's belly.
This creates heightened sensitivity and connection with the baby,
you may have heard the term “mirroring” used in this regard.
4. Creating conscious connections with your baby
It signals that we are connected to that person in some way.
our baby posture and trying to do the same and feel the same way they do inside our belly, is a non-verbal way to show empathy.

5. Self Care
Having photos of this moment when you feel really connected to your body and the life you are creating is such a beautiful act of self care, and also an amazing future present to have for yourself and also for your future baby, who will grow and with the years will be treasuring these memories.

6. Stress relief
The woman body goes through changes during the whole pregnancy and by the last weeks it's normal to feel heavy,
Being in the water helps the belly to float, releasing all the weight off your back, legs and feet.
Releasing stress and anxiety, reducing swelling, aches and pains. This can hep you to relax and sleep better.

7. It's a very special moment to embrace your body.
Being pregnant is such an important stage of a woman's life and having beautiful photos of this magical moment will always take you back to this time to cherish your amazing body creating a person that will teach you what love is to a level you can't even imagine.
8.Gravity free posture
Water holds your body which is full of oxygen and floats effortless, this helps you to create naturally postures you won't be able to do on land as the gravity pulls you down.
All the movements in the water are gentle, slow and graceful which will allow the result of the images to be stunning.

9. It's Art
Your photos instantly become a piece of art that you can showcase in the biggest wall of your home. Underwater portraits are special, rare and unique.
The water element makes the whole piece of art, the surface reflections, the colour, the depth, the texture the water and the bubbles creates a magic composition around your body.

10. Breathing techniques
I will coach you through some free-diving and breathing tips for you to be able to relax holding your breath and staying underwater without fear or anxiety, after the first 10 min you will feel really comfortable and enjoy the calmness below the surface. Controlling your breath is something very important that will help you also throughout the birth, learning to breath using your body wisely can reduce the pain between contractions and enhances awareness on your respiratory organs.
An interesting fact is that holding your breath while pushing during birth will also provide more oxygen to the baby and your uterus.

As an Extra reason this is simply Empowering and fun
An underwater photoshoot is something you will always remember for good.
Even if it can feel hard, or awkward to start with, all the questions and fears like of how to do it, hold your breath, how to pose, how my face will look... with my help and good energy it always ends up being such a fun experience, we laugh together, explore postures, try different things and work collaboratively to create a beautiful portrait that is timeless.

You'll never know if you never try.
An experience like this can turn out to be one of the most beautiful and rewarding things you've ever done for yourself.
