Due to the recent Covid-19 pandemic, we are implementing new measures to ensure the maximum care and safety of all parties attending photography sessions. We will maintain social distance whenever possible. We will follow government guidelines for hands on/close contact posing and a safe working environment for all involved until further notice. Please take a moment to read the guidelines below:

Studio photoshoots

• All props, blankets and clothing will be sanitised with antiviral disinfectant before and after each session as per our normal procedure, but extra attention will be given to sanitising the entire studio between sessions. 
• No shoes will be allowed in the studio. Please leave them in the changing area when you enter. 
• You will be asked to wash your hands immediately upon entering the studio and hand sanitizer will be readily available when you need it. 
• My team and I will wear a face mask and/or face shield for the duration of the session. 
• All seating areas will be sanitised after each session 
• Only Immediate family members will be allowed to attend sessions until further notice.

Your Part 

• Cancel your appointment for a later date if you or any of your party  have any of these symptoms; cough, fever, dizziness, loss of taste or smell, fatigue not caused by lack of sleep or breathing difficulty. 
• Parents may want  to wear a mask as well. You will be able to remove your mask for the portion of the session where family portraits are taken. Please bring your own mask(s) with you.
• If you or someone in your home is sick, you must reschedule. If you arrive sick, the session will be cancelled and rescheduled.
