Cairns · Family Pool Portraits
Real moments. Real laughter. Real life, underwater.
Fun, relaxed family sessions in and around your pool at home. Children can splash and play while the camera captures the moments that actually happen, not the ones everyone is holding still for.
Family pool portraits
The photos that capture
them as they actually are.
Family photos are usually the ones where everyone is standing still, smiling at the camera, and waiting for it to be over. These are not those photos.
I come to your home and photograph your family in the place where you are most yourselves. Your pool. Your kids jumping in, swimming underneath, floating on their backs, laughing. Your family as it actually is, captured in a way that is genuinely beautiful.
The images include both underwater and above-water moments. Both still and full of movement. All of them real.

What happens during your session
01
We plan it together
Before your session, we chat about your family, your children’s ages and swimming confidence, and what kind of images you are hoping for. Nothing is a surprise on the day.
02
I come to you
I come to your home with all my equipment. There is no studio, no unfamiliar environment, no getting the kids somewhere new. Your pool, your backyard, your family at ease.
03
Kids lead the way
I follow the energy of your children rather than trying to direct them into poses they will not hold. The best moments happen when kids are simply playing and I am in the water watching.
04
You choose your favorites
After the shoot, we meet for a relaxed in-person image reveal where you see your images for the first time and choose the ones you love.

Common questions
Everything you need
to know before you book.
- You do not need a large or fancy pool. A standard backyard pool works perfectly.
- Children do not need to be strong swimmers. I work at their level, and I never push anyone further than they are comfortable.
- Toddlers and babies are absolutely welcome. Some of the most beautiful images I have taken are of very young children in the water with a parent.
- You do not need to be in front of the camera yourself. Some parents prefer to be in the images, others prefer to watch their children. Entirely your choice.
- The session covers both underwater and above-water moments. You will receive a mix of both.
- First aid and CPR certified. Your children’s safety is always the first priority.
