COVID-19 safety & precautions for all photography sessions
I want to assure you that I am following guidelines advised by the CDC so that my littlest clients (and their families) are protected. These guidelines won’t take away from your luxury photo experience in any way! Below you’ll find the measures currently in place.

Health measures
Before each session, I monitor my temperature. I request that clients monitor their own temperatures leading up to our session as well. A reusable mask and disposable gloves are in my camera bag; if you’d like for me to wear either of these items during your photography session, please let me know. I am happy to do so.
My family and I are doing everything we can to ensure health and wellness in our own home. We do not travel to outbreak hotspots, meet in large groups, or take any form of public transportation. I talk with clients and others via Zoom or FaceTime when possible in place of in-person meetings.
Personal hygiene
I wash my hands thoroughly before every session and I ask that my clients do so as well. If we are photographing a newborn session in your home, I will wash my hands when I arrive, before we get started. For maternity sessions, I have hand sanitizer in my camera bag.
One session per day
Until further notice, I am scheduling one session per day. Additionally, kindly limit your maternity and newborn photography sessions to immediate family only.
Outdoor maternity sessions
I am continuing to offer outdoor maternity sessions. We’ll meet in the evening when the light is most flattering and the temperatures are a little cooler! We’ll discuss location options very early in the planning process. I have a list of favorites that guarantee a magical experience! If you’d like to discuss an in-home or studio maternity session, please contact me for more details.
Outdoor safety precautions
I always have disposable gloves, a mask, hand sanitizer and baby wipes in my camera bag. We’ll use these as needed during your outdoor session. If you’d like for me to wear the mask or gloves to ensure your comfort, just let me know! Additionally, I’ll be using a long lens that allows me to maintain a safe distance, while giving you the gorgeous images you’ll love.
No personal contact
This is such a challenge for me, because I truly enjoy interacting with clients and their children with hugs and handshakes! However, to minimize the risk of germs, I’ll swap my usual hug for a friendly wave when we meet for your session. If you have hair that needs tucking or clothing that needs a fluff, I’ll do my best to direct you or a family member to help!
Health policy
As outlined within all of my portrait agreements, I follow a strict maternity and infant wellness policy. You are required to disclose and reschedule your session if anyone in your family has a fever or symptoms including a cough, congestion, sneezing, runny nose, vomiting or diarrhea within the previous 48 hours. You may reschedule at no additional cost by contacting me immediately via phone or email.
