Frequently asked questions
I'm hesitant or worried about booking. I'm not sure I could ever do this. What should I do?
It is completely normal to feel a mix of excitement and nerves! Most of our clients are not professional models and have never done anything like this before. We specialize in making the impossible feel accessible. If you are feeling unsure, please reach out to us for a chat. We are happy to walk you through the process step-by-step, discuss your specific concerns, and help you decide if this adventure is right for you — no pressure attached.
What is your approach to safety?
Safety is our absolute top priority. We are not thrill-seekers or risk-takers, and we never push clients beyond their limits. Whether it is a pool shoot or an open water session, we take extensive measures to mitigate risk through detailed planning and preparation. You are always surrounded by a highly experienced and qualified team whose primary job is to keep you safe.
Which areas do you serve?
Our studio is based in Fullerton (Orange County), centrally located to serve clients locally from Los Angeles, Laguna Beach, Catalina, San Diego, Riverside, and Santa Barbara. While we love our local clients, we are also available for projects globally!
Do you retouch the photos?
Yes. We believe every image is a piece of art. All delivered images go through a professional editing process which includes color grading, backscatter removal (cleaning up floating particles in the water), and skin retouching. We ensure you look your absolute best while maintaining a natural, authentic look.
What is the turnaround time for my images?
We know you are excited to see your photos! Typically, you will receive your proofing gallery within 1 week of the shoot. Once you make your final selections, the finished, high-end retouched images are usually delivered within 2–3 weeks.
