When an Underwater Photoshoot in a Cenote Becomes a Healing Ritual

There's a special kind of joy that comes from working with repeat clients – especially those who form a beautiful community like this group of women from the Mermaid Medicine Retreat. Every year, these ladies travel to the Riviera Maya for a transformative journey of emotional healing. They participate in a variety of activities that include, you guessed it, an unforgettable underwater photoshoot in a beautiful cenote!

Each photoshoot brings new faces and unique stories to capture. But this session was particularly heartwarming. It was inspiring to witness the incredible sisterhood these women cultivate. They supported and encouraged each other when going underwater – which is something that can be challenging for some. It was a beautiful reminder of the power of community and the strength we find in uplifting one another.
