How It Works
To create a smoother experience for families and swim schools, Puddle Pics now operates photo shoots from Friday to Sunday only with set session times:
Friday
9:00am–12:00pm and 3:30pm–6:30pm
Saturday & Sunday
8:00am–12:00pm
We’ve also introduced a new online booking system to make the process easier for everyone.
Booking is simple:
✔ Parents book a personalised 10-minute session online
Choose a time that suits your family.
✔ We do all the setup
Puddle Pics creates the email and booking link – all you need to do is send it to your families.
✔ No upfront payment
Families only purchase if they love their photos.
✔ Instant photo viewing
Parents view images immediately after their session with no obligation to buy.
Why the new system works better:
✔ No disruption to lessons
I stay in one designated spot and parents bring children to me. If needed, sessions can run in the main pool rather than the learn-to-swim pool.
✔ Flexible booking options
Families who swim on other days can still book just for photos or arrange a make-up session.
✔ Faster, smoother viewing and sales
Less waiting and a more streamlined experience.
✔ Happier parents and staff
A more organised, efficient and relaxed environment for everyone.
✔ More time with each child
Extra time allows me to build confidence, especially with shy children, resulting in more natural and better-quality images.
✔ More family involvement
Parents can join in the photo session and create special family memories together.
✔ Better overall results
Less rushing means more fun, more connection and more memorable underwater photos.
