Underwater photoshoot experience in Cenotes:
Tulum & Playa del Carmen

Private underwater sessions for individuals and couples, designed for all levels — even if you have no previous experience.

Each photoshoot is fully guided and adapted to your comfort in the water, combining artistic direction, natural light, and carefully selected cenotes to create powerful, high-end images.

What to expect?

We’ll meet at a cenote located between Playa del Carmen and Tulum early in the morning, when the light conditions are at their best.

Before entering the water, I’ll guide you through breathing techniques and simple underwater movements so you feel comfortable and in control. No modeling or diving experience is required.

The session lasts approximately 2  hours. We’ll work with one or two outfits depending on the package, taking short breaks between sets to rest and warm up.

Throughout the session, I guide you step by step to create natural, elegant images — focusing on movement, posture and light.

Why I Choose Cenotes?

Cenotes offer consistently clear visibility, calm water with no current, and natural conditions that make the experience accessible even if it’s your first time.

Unlike the ocean, there are no waves or unpredictability — allowing you to relax, control your movements and focus on creating strong, natural images.

Each cenote has its own unique scenery: light beams cutting through the water, rock formations, mangroves and open jungle surroundings that create a setting impossible to replicate anywhere else.

Because of these conditions, every session feels different while still offering a controlled and comfortable environment.

I had an amazing experience with Emilia during my cenote photoshoot. She is such a talented and creative photographer, and the whole session felt very natural and enjoyable. I especially loved that we did the photoshoot both underwater and above the water, which allowed us to capture the cenote from completely different perspectives. Emilia has a great eye for composition, light, and details, and she made me feel very comfortable throughout the entire session. If you’re looking for a cenote photoshoot or underwater photography experience in the Riviera Maya, I highly recommend Emilia. She is professional, creative, and truly passionate about what she does. I absolutely love the photos she captured for me! 🩵

Emilia was so helpful right from the beginning in helping me decide what colours and outfits would look best in the water. She was so patient during the shoot nothing ever felt rushed and as this was my first time doing something like this I had so much guidance throughout the shoot! The photos came out amazing and I would definitely recommend her to anyone looking for any photos! Thank you so much again for making one of my childhood wishes come true🖤

I met Emilia in Morocco and ended up booking a photoshoot with her on a whim. It turned out to be one of the best decisions of the trip. Not only was the experience fun and effortless, but the photos completely exceeded my expectations. She has an incredible eye for capturing both the beauty of a place and the personality of the person in front of the camera. Now I can't wait to book an underwater cenote session with her in Mexico!

had an amazing experience doing an underwater photoshoot with her. From the very beginning she was incredibly professional, patient, and kind. She carefully explained how I should dive and move underwater to get the best shots, which made me feel very comfortable during the whole session. We spent a wonderful day doing the photoshoot and the atmosphere was relaxed, fun, and very enjoyable. The final results completely exceeded my expectations — the photos turned out absolutely beautiful. I highly recommend her to anyone looking for a special and professional underwater photography experience.

F.A.Q.

Frequently Asked Questions

You don’t need to be a strong swimmer. We stay in calm, shallow areas of the cenote, and I guide you through the entire session.

Yes. Cenotes have calm, still water with no waves or currents, unlike the ocean — which makes them ideal for a first-time underwater experience. With 8 years of experience guiding people through their very first underwater session, I make sure you feel in control the whole time.

Absolutely. Being in the water won’t affect your baby. We’ll make sure you feel comfortable and safe throughout, and take breaks if you feel cold.

Just a few seconds is enough to get a great photo.

I recommend removing them before the session, since it’s common to lose them underwater. If you’d rather keep them in, that’s fine too — just bring a spare pair in case they fall out.

The cenote is located between Playa del Carmen and Tulum, 20 minutes each way.

Sessions start early in the morning, around 8–8:30 am. That’s when the light inside the cenote is at its best, and when there’s practically no one else around.

No, transportation isn’t included. If you have your own car, I’ll send you the exact location to meet at the entrance. If not, local buses from Playa del Carmen and Tulum drop you right at the cenote entrance. If you’re staying in Playa del Carmen, I can also arrange a trusted taxi for an extra fee.

Solo and couple sessions are both available, from 1 to 2 people depending on the package. If you’re a group of 3 or more (like a bachelorette or birthday celebration), reach out and I’ll let you know what’s possible

Yes! I speak English fluently, so you can communicate with me comfortably throughout the entire experience. I’ll guide you through everything, from posing and breathing techniques to the photoshoot itself.

 

I have a selection of fabrics, skirts and dresses available for the session. You’re also welcome to bring your own outfit — I’ll guide you beforehand to make sure it works well with the cenote environment.

That’s completely up to you. We can shoot the whole session underwater, or mix in some photos above the water with your head out. Cenotes have beautiful light and atmosphere both in and out of the water.

Yes. Underwater photos are more complex to edit due to light and color, and it’s something I pay close attention to — I love working with color and lighting to get the final result right.

Of course! You can select more photos for 300 mx pesos each.

Either way works. Some clients prefer to leave the selection to me, and others like to choose themselves. If you’d rather choose, I’ll send you all the unedited, watermarked photos within 2 days of the session so you can pick your favorites.

Usually within 7 to 10 days. You’ll get a private online gallery by email where you can view and download your selected images.

rescheduled.

A 30% deposit is required to secure your date. The remaining balance is paid on the day of the session, after the photoshoot.

Cancellations must be made at least 48 hours in advance to receive a full refund of the deposit.

If cancelled with less than 48 hours’ notice, the deposit is non-refundable but can be applied to a rescheduled session.

 

If there’s heavy rain or unsafe conditions, we’ll reschedule your session — no need to worry about losing your deposit over the weather

It depends a lot on the season. Preferably 1 week before. In case of availability, I take reservations 48 hours in advance to make sure I have everything organized. If you have any question or if you are ready to book a session, contact me through this website or whatsapp. We will find a date that both suit us.
