Underwater photography is a unique way to capture your child's natural beauty and free spirit.  Swimming gives freedom like no other activity and provides children with the opportunity to discover a whole new underwater world.


Owner and photographer Dee Thorogood is passionate about the naturalness and beauty of water.  After years of competitive swimming and water-sports Dee gained a swimming scholarship to the University of Louisiana in the USA and graduated with a B.Sc in Exercise science. Dee is also a qualified emergency first responder and became part of Sussex medical services as a trainee. Following this achievement Dee travelled the world teaching scuba diving and perfecting the art of capturing amazing underwater photographs.


Blessed with two beautiful children of her own, Dee has wasted no time in introducing them to the joy and fun that being in the water brings and are both now water babies just like mummy!


Shoots are carried out in a relaxed, warm environment with the focus being on fun and last for approximately 30 minutes. To make the most of the session a maximum of 4-5 children is recommended.


  We all know that children aren't always willing to perform and in this environment they call the shots - if they have had enough then we call it a day. Our aim is to provide you with some stunning photographs to treasure, so if you end up with a child that wont conform on the day or you are not happy with your photographs we will offer you one completely free re-sit*.


Following the photo shoot you will be able to view your pictures online in our Client Area or we can arrange a viewing. You will then have the opportunity to purchase your favourite ones.


What better opportunity to turn a family swim in to a memory captured forever!
