Covid-19 Policy

Adherence to State and Local guidelines

Above all, we believe in being a good community citizens. We will work cooperatively with our state and local leaders to provide

a safe environment for all. Along with adhering to guidelines set forth by the Centers for Disease Control.

Only one client (and family member, if client is a minor) should be allowed in studio facilities at any given time. If the session is held offsite,

only one client (and family member, if client is a minor) should be staged in the immediate area. Groups are not allowed. An exception can be made

for groups consisting of immediate family only.

Temperature checks and screening questions

Temperature checks will be conducted for each photographic client (including each member of the family present) prior to each session.

Any subject or family member with a fever exceeding 100.4 degrees will be rescheduled. Screening questions include but not limited to:

• How are you feeling?

• Have you had a cough or any flu-like or COVID symptoms in the last 14 days?

• Have you been around anyone exhibiting these symptoms with the last 14 days?

• Are you living with anyone who is sick or quarantined?

• Please sanitize or wash hands upon arrival

Adherence to sanitation protocols

Standard sanitation protocols prior to each client will include but not be limited to:

• Washing hands regularly before and after photographic sessions

• Sanitation of all props, chairs, benches with which a client may come into contact

• Sanitation of restroom/dressing facilities if available to clients in-studio

• Sanitation of common areas, including doorknobs (interior and exterior), countertops, pens, and pencils, tablets, and monitors

• Removal of unnecessary paper products or décor (magazines, newspapers, extraneous sales materials

Social distancing / No touch

We will maintain social distancing and will use no-touch posing methods whenever possible. Until further notice is received from the

CDC and other health officials, the maximum gathering for a photographic shoot of 10 or fewer persons will be observed.

By appointment only

We will maintain strict appointment-only times, which will allow sufficient time to sanitize photographic equipment and common areas after each clients session. Only one client (and family) will be allowed in the studio at any given time. If the session is held offsite, only one client (and family) will be staged in the immediate area.

Rescheduling and refunds

If we have to reschedule your session due to a “yes” to any screening questions we will look at rescheduling as soon as safely possible without penalty. If you have to reschedule your portrait session due to another shutdown from Covid-19 your deposits will be transferred to the soonest available date. As you know, we received a non-refundable deposit upon booking your shoot. If your shoot is canceled or rescheduled, whether as a result of government recommendation, third party choice (venue, etc), or personal choice, we cannot refund this deposit. That said,

you will not be expected to pay the remaining balance owing for your shoot. The deposit can go toward rescheduling your date if this is the case, or it can be used toward another photo session. We think it’s important for all of us to know where we stand so there are no misunderstandings.

Photographer Liability

If we come down with Covid-19 symptoms or any other illness following a photoshoot, and never had symptoms prior to the photo shoot,

we will not be held liable.  If a we come down with flu-like or Covid-19 like symptoms prior to your shoot we will reach out to you immediately

to reschedule your shoot.
