Tammy and I wanted to do something really special for her maternity session, so we decided to take it underwater. We’ve never attempted underwater photography before.
We rented a pool, bought an underwater housing for our Canon 5d Mark II, set up lights, a backdrop in the water, and thought it would be a relatively easy but very unique shoot. Boy were we wrong.
We have a whole new respect for underwater photography. From a) not being able to see anything to b) not being sure if the housing will keep the 8 or so thousand dollars of equipment dry to c) trying to hold our breath long enough, lock in focus, get the lights set up properly, and last but not least, getting a woman who’s pregnant to sink:) All of that being said, we are totally happy with the way our first ever underwater shoot went. We learned a lot, and are really excited about the results. Not quite as excited as were are to meet baby Cohen late February/early March!
Enjoy the pics!

Great stuff! Love underwater photography
Absolutely amazing.
Great first attempt! Beautiful and unique photos! I love that you went outside the box and your comfort zone (I’d be uncomfortable putting $8k of camera underwater!). Great job!
So, So Beautiful Tammy & Brent, Love it!
Absolutely stunning Brent … wonderful work
