Below you will find the details for current policies during the Covid-19 epidemic
Personal Protective Equipment
The use of PPE such as masks will be used while working with clients. Masks will be required (and provided, if needed) by clients at any time that there is not a 6 foot distance.
Children, parent and family newborns sessions are not currently offered due to the inability to remain hands off, keep everyone masked and maintain safe distance while posing and photographing parents, sibling and family images. Currently, baby only sessions are able to take place in-studio.
If you opt to remove your mask for eating,drinking, etc, please be mindful if you feel the urge to cough or sneeze and use the provided tissues and immediately place in the trash can and sanitize or wash hands.
Temperature checks
Non-contact temperature checks will be conducted for clients, including each family member present, prior to each session/prior to entering my home/studio. Anyone with a fever exceeding 100.4 degrees will result in the session being cancelled or rescheduled. For this reason, I suggest checking your temperature prior to leaving for the session. I will also be held to this policy and will do regular temperature checks.
Sanitation
Sanitation measures have always been in place due to the nature of business. I have added some additional policies.
Social distancing / No touch posing
Social distancing and no-touch posing methods will be used whenever possible. In addition, I will also avoid hand shaking. Due to the size of the studio, there will be a limit of 2 adults max in the studio along with baby and photographer.
Scheduling/Rescheduling/Refunds
At this time, scheduling will be done no more than 4 weeks in advance.
If we have to cancel or reschedule your session due to government restrictions, from results on your screening questions or a temperature check upon arrival, your retainer will be transferred to the soonest available date that works for both you and the photographer or at the photographer’s discretion, refunded without penalty.
