One of the amazing benefits of swimming with Water Babies, is being able to book to attend a Underwater Baby photoshoot. The photo shoot is something we done with my son, who is now 3.
One of the amazing benefits of swimming with Water Babies, is being able to book to attend a Underwater Baby photoshoot. The photo shoot is something we done with my son, who is now 3. His photo is still on our wall for all to see, it is a real talking point for people who visit our house. I was super keen to have another photo shoot done with Baby Emma.
Last Saturday I made the exciting trip to take her, the hard part was choosing an outfit for her to wear. All babies have to wear a ‘Happy Nappy’, which means they have a disposable nappy on underneath, and the Happy Nappy sits on top, keeping everything contained, should their be movement from inside. I was keen to not just use the Happy Nappy, mainly as Emma and Mark look very similar as babies. I wanted to be able to tell which was which in 20 years time. So I bought baby Emma a new outfit for her shoot….
This is a Happy Nappy with extra material to create a costume look. I love the look of it, and we had plenty of comments about it at the shoot.
The shoot runs like a lesson, we do the usual songs and activities, but this time the underwater swims are done in front of a camera. It’s always a nervous moment not knowing what is going on under the water, babies seem to do what they like when underwater, some turn, some twist and some dive.
I didn’t have much time to wait, as soon as I was dressed I was allowed to see them on the computer screens. I was in complete awe at my 5 month old baby girl swimming underwater. Each shot was lovely, and I was pleased to see she had turned different ways on them all. The hard part was choosing which photos to pick as ours.
I gave myself a budget for the pictures, and decided my maximum would be 3 pictures (RRP £299), so I decided one from each underwater shot would be perfect. The staff who were present were not sales staff, and it was nice not having an pressure from them to upgrade what I wanted. It was so relaxed.
I am ecstatic with my selection, all of them so so special to me. I am so excited to share them with you all.
This is Baby Emma swimming underwater….
I like the bottom one best!! I wish so much that we’d done it when our boys were still babies.
I LOVE the bottom one, she looks like she diving, and you can see her foot! 😀
Edit me :)) And my reply – I wanted to say how impressed I was that you thought to buy a different swim suit. That’s such a good idea and will be circulating it far and wide!! xx
I actually bought two outfits, the light pink ruffles too…which I shall showcase in next weeks post 🙂
oh Wow, they are AMAZING photos. 🙂
Thank you, I am in total love with them!
They are gorgeous! How lovely that you have Markys too 🙂
