This Photographer Is Changing Maternity Photography With His Underwater Mermaid Moms

ADVERTISEMENT

My name is Adam Opris and I am a professional photographer specializing in wedding and lifestyle by day and underwater photography aficionado by night. I am always trying to push the envelope and create photography art through people and their stories.

I grew up in South Florida with a love for everything outdoors. I’ve practically lived in the ocean my whole life. With that great love for the water, I am bringing mermaids out of moms to be in my maternity photoshoots. By embracing buoyancy and enabling these beautiful women to be free, I am creating stunning pictures to capture pregnancy in all of its glory!

    The high heels underwater just takes away too much from otherwise masterly Pictures! How did the photographer think here?

    When else would a pregnant woman want to wear heels, underwater and weightless, love it!

    They look beautiful, but they also have great bodies, like models. I did not look anything like that at all when I carried my two.

    Freedom from all that damn weight on your hips. Not a fan of pregnancy photos. Some are beautiful. Some are cheesy.
