Dallas Newborn Photographer

I want to give you an update on the status of my studio. As some of you know, I had to close in the middle of March. It was a hard decision to make, and one that I knew was necessary because I work directly with newborns. Their safety is my number one priority and there was no way I could continue taking pictures of those little ones while keeping a safe ‘social distancing’ of 6 feet. Working with newborns is a very hands on job!

As of this post, my studio is classified as non-essential so I’m still not open for business, but I’m thinking of how my business will change once we are open.

Some changes I plan on implimenting for the first while is only allowing immediate family at the newborn session. This has been my policy is the past, but I’ve been pretty lenient about letting grandparents, aunts and uncles and even “BFFs” come for the session, but from now on I’m asking that only Parents come for the session.

Also, I will only be taking sessions every other day so that I can clean my studio and disinfect properly after each session. This means a full wipe down of all hard surfaces, along with machine washing blankets and wraps and hand washing the more delicate items like hats and headbands. Basically, anything the baby has touched, or I’ve touched, or the parents have touched will be washed and disinfected.

I will also ask that you take your shoes off upon entering the studio. I have a pair of shoes that I only wear in my studio that you’ll see me wearing, but no outside shoes will be permitted. So make sure you have some clean socks on 😉

Another change I’ll be making is that you’ll see me wearing a facemask during your session. I will also still practice social distancing with parents, but because I need to work closely with your newborn baby, the mask will add another barrier of protection.

I’m sure the more I think through things, and the more I work my session, these policies will change.

Every day, new information is released, I have no clue when I’ll be back to work full time, working with your precious little baby, but I’m really hoping and praying I’ll be able to take my first newborn client by July.

I truly appreciate all your love and support during these times. It’s meant the world to me to see so many of my friends and past clients showing their support for my small business.
