Welcome to my blog! My name is Susannah of Susannah Gill Photography and I create underwater family photography in El Dorado Hills, Ca and surrounding areas. I have a 7-year-old boy and a black lab puppy that both love swimming and I was once upon a time a pretty serious swimmer myself. I did decide though to hang up my goggles after high school and not swim in college. Instead, I grabbed the camera and headed to art school in NYC for photography. So glad I did! YEARS later I can now merge my passion for swimming with photography to capture the thrill of childhood in pools, lakes and oceans!

Underwater family photography- celebrating the joy of childhood in the water!
Nothing quite says summer like fun in the sun at the pool while playing around on bright colorful rafts! There is something about swimming that makes children feel so free and happy. This is why I decided to add underwater family photography to my list of services.Recently I had the privilege of photographing this brother and sister duo having a blast in the pool! These images were taken at my pool which I am happy to provide for your family photography session if you do not have your own pool.
But wait, have you gotten this far already and thought- well my kids don’t swim that well yet? That’s fine too, it’s possible to capture this same kind of joy in photography sessions without water! Imagine a fun family photography session at your home-hellooooo kitchen dance parties! Click here to check it out!Back to the back, this little mermaid requested that I capture her epic underwater swimming! Swimming with a smile- how adorable is that?!
As beautiful as the blue water is with the rainbow colored rafts and swimsuits- there is something about underwater photography being in black and white that makes it’s so mesmerizing. The photograph becomes less about the colors and more about the shapes and body language.
The more rafts the better! I love the pops of color they provide and also how kids show many emotions while playing with them-from pure fun to daydreaming to using them as a fort!
It was time for their fur baby to jump on in! He wasn’t so sure at first but he did enjoy his little lap around the pool!
Look how sweet the pups paws are doing the doggy paddle!
Thanks kiddos for coming and playing in the pool with me, I had a blast! It was so much fun to photograph this slice of summertime fun for you and your parents!
