About me

Hi, I'm Zoe

I am a mother to two beautiful girls, aged three years and five months, and am the wife to a wonderful husband who is not only my greatest supporter, but also the love of my life. From day one he has always been behind the scenes supporting my crazy dreams, knowing it will turn into something beautiful.

I started my photography journey 3 years ago, when my first daughter was born, I photographed anything I could at the time, but now I specialise in womanhood and motherhood.

FAQ

Do I have to have an underwater housing for my camera?

No you don't! You can use a gopro of your own if you have one. If you also do not own a gopro, I will have a gopro and a spare camera that you can borrow and share amongst the other attendees.

Do I have to know how to swim for the underwater photos?

Yes. I have to look out for all the atendees, models and myself. You must be able to swim to participate, you must absolutely know how to swim for the ocean session.

What skill level is this for?

This is perfect for both entry level photographers just starting out and established photographers wanting to broaden or see a different approach to underwater photography.

Do you offer payment plans?

Yes I do. There is a 25% non refundable deposit to secure your spot, the reaminder is due by the 21st of Febuary 2025. Please contact me for further details.

What will I need to bring?

You will need
- A tooth brush & tooth paste
- Shampoo & conditioner
- Goggles
- Your camera
- Device to edit on
You may also need but not completely necessary
- A wetsuit
- A weight belt
- Flippers

Will allergies and food preferences be catered to?

Yes. I will be providing filling and healthy meals, and taking food requests. If there is any foods that may cause anaphylaxis to simply be around, please let me know.

Do I have to participate in all of the photoshoot sessions?

No you don't! There will be 4 total underwater sessions (1 in the ocean, 3 in the pool), so you will not be missing out on anything if you decide to sit out. If you do decide to sit some pool sessions out, you can still be involved by watching and taking notes on the sideline.
There will also be three groups (2 groups of two and 1 group of three) to ensure it doesn't get overcrowded while taking the photos.

What if it rains or the ocean conditions are no good?
