Your Family Experience
After your family photoshoot, we’ll get together for a relaxed viewing appointment where you’ll see your images for the very first time. This is the exciting part. You’ll choose your 15 included digital images and decide if you’d like to add any additional favorites to your collection.
There’s no pressure and no minimum spend beyond what’s already included. You simply choose what you love.
If you’d like to turn your memories into something tangible, you’ll also have the option to purchase beautiful wall art or printed products for your home. Everything is completely optional.
This viewing session gives you the chance to relive the laughter, the splashes, and the joyful in-between moments we captured. Every image you select is professionally edited and delivered in high resolution, ready to be enjoyed for years to come.

Angelina was very professional and patient with our family, which included 2 very young kids. The photos were incredible. We would be happy to use Angelina again for another family photo shoot!

We’ve just had a family viewing of the photos that Angelina recently took of our family in our hotel swimming pool! We loved them!!!! I bought them all!
They are funny & definitely amazing in their clarity! It was a first for us, having underwater photos taken! We found Angelina to be unhurried, easy to chat to, and certainly passionate about her underwater photography! Would definitely recommend her. 5 stars!

Frequently Asked Questions
Do we need a large or fancy pool?
Not at all. As long as your pool is clean and safe, we can create beautiful images. I work with the space you have and make the most of the light and surroundings.
What if my kids don’t sit still?
Perfect. They don’t need to. These sessions are designed to be playful and natural. Splashing, jumping, laughing, and swimming all make for authentic, joyful photos.
Are the underwater photos safe?
Yes. Safety is always the priority. I only photograph children who are confident and comfortable in the water. There is no pressure for underwater shots if anyone feels unsure.
I am also trained in CPR, First Aid & O2.
What should we wear?
This is completely up to you. Swimwear works perfectly, or you’re welcome to wear clothing if you prefer that look. If choosing outfits, opt for lightweight, flowy fabrics that won’t absorb too much water or become heavy in the pool. It’s best to avoid materials like cotton, denim, or wool, as they can weigh you down once wet.
How long does the session last?
Family pool shoots typically run for around 60 minutes. This allows plenty of time for in-water fun, underwater images, and relaxed above-water family portraits.
What’s included in the $600 session fee?
Your session includes the photoshoot at your home pool and 15 professionally edited high-resolution digital images of your choice. Additional images and printed products are available for purchase.
What if the weather isn’t great?
If the weather is unsafe or unsuitable, we will reschedule. I want your session to feel fun and relaxed, not rushed or stressful.
If it’s raining, we can still take some fun photos in the rain. However, if there is lightning, we will get out of the water immediately.
Can grandparents or extended family join?
Absolutely. These sessions are about connection and memories. Just let me know in advance so we can plan accordingly.
Do we have to get underwater?
If you don’t want to fully go underwater, we can take some split images, half in the water, half out of the water. We can also do a mix of images sitting on the edge of the pool. Getting in the water does make the images more fun and impactful, but I will work with whatever suits your family best.
How do we book?
Simply send me an email to check availability. A booking fee of $200 is required to secure your date. This booking fee will be deducted from the $600 session fee.
