Shallow Water Photoshoots
Aug 8th & 9th 2026
Join us as we bring back these iconic shoots!
A staple in the IL Merpod's offering for several years running, these shallow water shoots are private, heated, and have so many beautiful ways to be arranged for your vision.
We are pleased to offer two days for slots this year, so no matter what your schedule looks like, this shoot is for you!
