Underwater Family Photography: A Unique Sunshine Coast Photoshoot Experience To Bring Loved Ones Together
Let’s go on an underwater adventure to celebrate your family’s beautiful bond
Basking in the sun, dancing in the rain, balmy summer days and crisp winter nights, your family’s bond is like no other. Through the years, your “we’ll get through anything together” mentality holds strong and true.
Because this is family. This is love.
And it’s yours.
Whether it’s an intimate family session with your little ones, a bonding experience with your sister or mother, or a joyous multi-generational shoot to include all the people that make your world go around… your underwater photoshoot experience will be filled with laughter, love, connection and newly-made memories.
Kids
It seemed like just yesterday when they were small enough for you to cradle in your arms, singing hushed lullabies to keep the imaginary monsters away.
Tenderly stroking their baby-soft, wispy hair, wishing you could live in this moment forever, you never want to let them go.
To say they grow up too fast is an understatement and a half.
This was such an amazing family shoot with a difference, a special day we made beautiful memories together. I highly recommend an experience with Liz.

Mother & Daughter
Seeing kids living in the moment, you find yourself thinking about your own mum.
Day in and day out, she’d get up extra early, keeping the house in order. From prepping meals to the endless chores, no matter how busy or tired she was, she was always waiting to give you a big, warm hug after school, keen to hear all about your day.
The years snuck by, from Friday sleepovers to announcing you were moving out, ready to venture into the world as your own person.
But no matter how far you went, she’d keep you in check, lovingly shaping you into the person you are today.
My daughter and I had a wonderful day with Liz in her pool. The final product was better than we had hoped for. It was a unique, lasting experience.

Sisters
As you watch the younger generation embrace life’s adventures, you can’t help but be transported back to the carefree days of your own childhood with your sister.
Fearless yet selfless, she was your best friend and protector. Through first loves, broken hearts and never-ending wardrobe dilemmas, you could always rely on her to get it sorted.
Years around the sun, living your own lives, you’re comforted by the fact that she’s only ever a phone call away and it’ll be just like old times again.
Apart from being a very talented photographer, Liz is patient, creative and really took the time to understand our personalities and reflected that in our photos. I have plenty of photos with my sister as kids, but not many as adults. I feel so lucky to have our portrait on my wall to enjoy for years to come. I look back on this day and smile, we had such fun. Thank you Liz.

Multi-Generation
Dynamics shifting and evolving over the years, this is what makes your family’s story so wonderfully unique.
The embrace of a grandparent, the mischievous smile from a grandchild, the knowing glances exchanged between siblings… these are snapshots of true connection.
Through the highs and lows, celebrations and challenges, your family has stood together, united by love and resilience.
Hold onto these precious moments together, for they are the threads that weave your family’s story.

My daughter, granddaughter and I had the privilege of an underwater photoshoot and it was amazing. Liz is so lovely and patient, it was a wonderful experience, we had so much fun and so many laughs. It was also a great bonding experience. Thank you Liz.

A Creative Journey in Two Chapters
Chapter 1: Your Experience
From an in-depth consult to design your dream photoshoot, to playing mermaids in my private heated pool, your experience will be like no other.
This includes luxurious amenities, a private dressing room, unlimited access to a wardrobe of ladies dresses, waterproof makeup artistry, and everything in between. Fully guided and stress-free, you and your family will feel like royalty from start to finish.
Chapter 2: Your Artwork
You’ll be welcomed back to my studio where we’ll go through your beautiful images and relive the memories together.
Using software to show you how different prints, frames and sizes will look on your home’s walls, we’ll start curating your favourite portraits.
Handmade to order, choose from fine art prints, handmade albums, and premium wall art. The quality is second to none, because that’s exactly what your family deserves.
Your Questions
A) The Photoshoot. The process starts with an unforgettable underwater photoshoot day, a memory-making once-in-a-lifetime adventure for you and those you love. The day is custom designed for you, and the team take care of every last detail. Your photoshoot day is priced at $790.
B) The Images. A true beginning-to-end journey, your experience doesn’t stop on photoshoot day. The next step is choosing which images you’d like to purchase. As a guideline, the average investment in images starts at around $1800, and goes up from there; see my Products & Price Guide to get an overview of image pricing.
Children need to have solid water skills and be under the supervision of a parent.
Toddlers need to have done some infant swim lessons, be comfortable in the water, and be held by a parent at all times.
I coach you with breathing techniques, and work with you at your own pace. The aim is to have you as relaxed as possible, and to have fun along the way—this is how your portraits end up looking so effortless.
What often happens, as you become more comfortable during your photoshoot, is that you’ll be able to stay underwater for longer and longer… you’ll probably surprise yourself!
Liz brings so much healing and joy through her art and creativity. Doing a shoot with her really is spectacular, one of the best things I’ve ever done.
