Covid 19 Safety measures
Current status
(This page is regularly updated as per government guidance and was last updated on 9th November, 2020.)
Outdoor Doggy Portrait Sessions are currently running, as these sessions are for one person and their dog/s and take place in outdoor public spaces with full social distancing measures in place.
Outdoor family sessions are not running due to the current lockdown in England.
It is currently against lockdown rules to meet up outside as a group of more then 2 people.
Newborn baby sessions at home: I am currently still speaking with my insurer to gain further clarification. Currently my understanding is, as a trade service, I can visit you in your home to run a session with safety measures in place. Since the first lockdown I have limited the number of Newborn shoots I take on each month in order to reduce my contact with people in their homes overall. These sessions are run with no touch posing and continuing to use a long lens or wearing a mask where social distancing in trickier to manage. Please contact me for a phone chat for further updated information about running these sessions.
Beginners Photography Workshops are currently running 1-1 on zoom and in person in an outdoor public space with social distancing measures in place.
What will your outdoor sessions be like with Covid safety measures in place, outside of lockdown?
When attending a photo shoot with me, the safety of your family and of my own family is significantly important. I'm sure you will agree, it’s our collective priority, during this time, to help minimise the spread of Covid 19. I have therefor put in place the following measures, for all of us to follow.
You will still get a warm welcome when we meet up for your session but instead of a handshake or a high five with your children, we’ll be smiling and waving from at least a 1 metre plus distance from each other.
What will your Beginners Photography Workshop be like with Covid safety measures in place outside of lockdown?
Workshops are now only running 1-1. We are in a spacious living area in my home which is well ventilated and doors opening out to an outside space which we will use, weather depending. Social distancing is in place and we can wear masks if you wish.
My cancelation policy
I have created greater flexibility in my schedule should you need to reschedule due to yourself or a family member (or anyone else you have been in contact with), having any Covid 19 Symptoms. Your session (or your beginners photography workshop) will be rescheduled at the earliest possible and available time and to suit your family.
If you are already booked in for a session or workshop with me, I will notify you immediately of any changes to Covid 19 measures, as per government guidance, should they affect your booked session.
