What to bring to the shoot

• A swim nappy and a neoprene over nappy to prevent leaks are essential for your baby's comfort and hygiene during the shoot.
• Fancy dress outfits or props for your baby to wear are encouraged, and the Turtle Tots team also provides some if you don't have your own. Be creative and have fun with it!
• If you have an older child and want to capture a photo of them with your baby underwater, let the Turtle Tots team know beforehand so they can accommodate your request.
• It is recommended that your baby has had some professional swimming lessons beforehand so they are familiar with the pool environment and know what to expect. This will help put them at ease during the shoot.
• Bring multiple sets of clothes for your baby, as well as towels and other necessary items to keep them warm and comfortable before and after the shoot.
• If you have a specific theme or background in mind for the photos, feel free to bring your own props or backdrops to achieve the desired look. The Turtle Tots team is usually open to accommodating special requests.
• If you plan to purchase photos after the shoot, consider bringing a memory stick or hard drive to store the digital copies. Alternatively, you can provide your email address to receive the photos electronically.
• If you have other children who will not be participating in the shoot, it is a good idea to bring something to keep them entertained, such as colouring books or toys, as the shoot will be focused on the baby in the water.
• Don't forget to bring your own swimming gear if you plan to join your baby in the pool for the shoot. It is a great opportunity for some fun family photos!
