Water Bear Photography — Underwater, Maternity, Boudoir & Elopement Photographer in Gainesville, Florida

Water Bear Photography, owned and operated by Kimber Greenwood, is a Gainesville, Florida-based portrait studio specializing in underwater photography, maternity portraits, boudoir sessions, and Florida elopements. Every session is more than a photoshoot — it is a curated, full-service creative experience designed to make you feel comfortable, beautiful, and proud of the images that hang on your walls for decades.

Underwater Portrait Photography

Water Bear Photography is the only dedicated underwater portrait studio in North Central Florida. Sessions take place in crystal-clear freshwater springs, heated pools, and custom-built sets, with full safety support, posing direction, and styling included. Underwater portraits are available for maternity, boudoir, fine art, branding, and editorial clients.

Maternity Photography in Gainesville, Florida

Capture the magic of pregnancy with a maternity session at the Gainesville studio, on location in Florida, or underwater. Maternity gowns, posing guidance, and full client styling are included so every expecting mother feels confident in front of the camera.

Boudoir & Underwater Boudoir

Boudoir sessions are designed to be safe, empowering, and creatively bold — in an indoor studio or completely underwater. Each client receives professional hair and makeup, posing direction, and a private viewing of their images.

Florida Elopement Photography

From the white sand beaches of the Gulf to the freshwater springs of Suwannee County, Water Bear Photography documents intimate Florida elopements with adventurous couples who want to skip the traditional wedding and celebrate their love their own way.

Underwater Creatives Academy

Kimber Greenwood also runs the Underwater Creatives Academy, the world's leading school for professional underwater portrait photographers, offering online courses, in-person workshops, a Members' Forum, and lifetime membership for working pros.
