The water is warmest in September.
Water is slow to warm and slow to cool. It takes the whole summer in, holds it, and gives it back right as everyone stops paying attention.
Children work the same way. The one who clung to the pool steps in May is doing handstands underwater by September. A whole summer of swimming lives in their body by then, and you can see it underwater. The ease. The confidence. The moment they stop performing and simply are.
This is why I have always loved shooting the end of the season. And this September is the end of more than the season. It is the final month of DIVE IN.
I want to spend it photographing children at their bravest, in the warmest water of the year.
Five sessions remain, on late August September weekends, including Labor Day Monday. Which of these dates work best for you?
