The preparation

When will you come to our swimming pool?

If your swimming school still has no contact with us, just suggest the idea to your fellow swimmers and the teacher and contact us. We will then find a suitable solution. If your recommendation is successful you get your own photos for free!

No. We take pictures without obligation to buy. After the shoot you can see your pictures online in a protected album and then choose which ones you want to buy.

That depends on the size of the group, the time available and the cooperation of the children. Generally we take at least 10 pictures per child, up to a maximum of 100. We photograph on the surface and if the child wants to dive also under water.

All pictures are first professionally edited. After that is done, the pictures are uploaded in the shop. Anyone who has left his email address during the shoot will receive an email with an access code. It usually takes about two weeks to prepare the pictures.

We take your privacy very seriously. That's why only you get an access code for the album and no one else. If you still want your photos removed, simply login to your account and see your account info, there you can delete all your data, according to GDPR regulations. Of course you can still buy your pictures. We gladly send you the photos in an email.

This varies from child to child. Very small babies have the respiratory reflex, as soon as it is submerged, the larynx closes to protect itself from the ingestion of water. This respiratory protective reflex is often seen in babies up to about 8 to 10 months old. It is important when diving your baby to keep watching how your child behaves. If your child is very restless and clings a lot to you, then you may want to consider to refrain from diving.
The advantage of participating in a baby swimming course is that the child gets used to water and diving. The photo shootings usually take place at the end of the course, so that the children and the parents gain experience in diving.
Important for baby diving is a quiet atmosphere. Each dive should be done carefully, slowly and quietly.
In my experience, the ideal diving age is 5 months. Then the children often still have the respiratory protection reflex, are fit enough to dive (have a good body tension) and have not yet developed strong fear of strange situations and people.
Nevertheless, we photograph children in many different age groups every day. We look at the child at the moment and advise you accordingly.

The photo shoot

We always try to take many different pictures: from the child with mom or dad, playing with the ball, swimming through the tunnel, on a mat, etc. Of course, we also do some portraits only of your child. But the parents are often in the picture, since you have your baby in your arms.

We integrate the photo shoot in the normal class. Already with the welcome song we start photographing. It ensures a relaxed process and authentic pictures. If someone does not want to take part in the photo shoot, that's perfectly fine, the class takes place as usual, simply you won't be photographed.

We always start with a short video at the beginning. There, the parents introduce the child. Afterwards the parents register on the iPad with the name of the child, email and mobile phone, so we can send you a personalized customer access.
