YOUR SAFETY

CORONAVIRUS POLICIES & PROCEDURES

Your safety is my first priority, therefore I have had to make some changes due to COVID-19. Please read below for details.

​

As government guidelines now allow small groups to meet in doors I have begun using my dedicated indoor studio space once again, however I am still taking steps for your safety, please read below.

​

BEFORE ARRIVAL

​

I ask all families coming to me to complete an online health declaration 24 hours prior to a session. This confirms that I do not have symptoms and you do not have symptoms. 

​

ON ARRIVAL

 

When you arrive I ask you to call my mobile. I will then meet you at my front door and lead you straight into the studio space. This is a comfy space where you are able to sit and put your things down.

​

I will ask if you could all sanitise your hands at my sanitising station, please feel free to use this at any time during your session and when you leave.  

​

THE SESSION

​

All sessions are completed with the use of PPE, I wear a face mask for the whole time you are with me and my contact with your family will be kept to a minimum.

 

Due to space restrictions I ask that no guests attend sessions, only those directly involved.

​

As I have a home studio I confirm that during sessions my family are not present in the house where ever possible.

​

MY PROCEDURES

​​

  • All surfaces in the session space cleaned before and after each session.

  • Maximum of 1 session per day.

  • Maximum of 2 sessions each week.

  • I wear PPE and use hand sanitiser throughout the session.

  • All outfits, props and fabrics cleaned before and after each session.  Where this isn’t possible they will be unused for at least 3 days according to guidance regarding fabric transference.

  • I will keep a distance of 2 meters where possible (when helping with posing this won’t be possible but I will be wearing PPE and will endeavour not to touch people.)

  • If I am feeling at all unwell on the day of the session or up to 7 days prior, your session will be rescheduled.

  • The studio door and windows will be open where possible to allow extra ventilation.

 

WHAT I ASK YOU TO DO

​

  • Please do NOT come to the studio if you are feeling at all unwell or have felt unwell in the last 7 days. I am more than happy to rearrange your shoot and session fees will be valid for 12 months.

  • I do encourage use of face masks when you are not in front of the camera.

  • Please use hand sanitiser on entry and you are welcome to take a mask to wear while waiting for your photographs to be taken.

  • Only parents to attend the session, no siblings or extended family or friends please.

  • I will only be using props and outfits of my own for newborn and sitter shoots. Please do not bring items from home unless discussed in advance.

  • Complete a short online health declaration within 24 hours before the session.
