Taking the Plunge...

into underwater photography that is.  And I must say...I ABSOLUTELY LOVE IT!  A few months ago, Gia of Gia Wood Photography contacted me about shooting her wedding and trash the dress.  We met and when she told me she was purchasing underwater equipment, I was SO excited!  So, we talked for a few months about the details.  She tried out all the equipment and sent me some of the results...they were beautiful.  So, after her wedding, I suited up in scuba gear for the first time and sat at the bottom of a pool with a camera.  I was a bit nervous at first having never been scuba diving before.  But, before long, it was second nature.  I couldn't get enough of it.  We weren't able to photograph everything she wanted due to scheduling conflicts, so we scheduled a second day of shooting...YAY!!!  This past Sunday I arrived for more shooting.  The pool was outdoors and it has been cold and rainy in Dallas, but I knew the pool would be heated, so I wasn't worried.  Much to everyone's surprise, the heating element in the pool was broken!!!!!!!  Gia was kind enough to get a wet suit for me, but everyone else had to model in the super cold water.  They were troopers! 

I loved the whole experience so much that I am now offering underwater photography to my list of services.  So, if you want to dive in with me, give me a call!

This is something I've become very interested in since Anthro did a catalogue of underwater photography!. Your images are so beautiful.
So, since you are now offering it does that mean you bought your own gear too! If so, I want to talk to you about all of that :) I want to know what you have to house your camera and all that good stuff. I didn't even think about having scuba gear. That is high tech stuff right there. I can see your face smiling so big with excitement about all of this. Yay Shan!

Thanks everyone!

Cristy, I am making the investment into all the pieces slowly. As of now, I am renting it from a friend until I can get all the pieces put together. Email or call me, and I will give you the low down!
