I’m a Newborn Photographer, and I have a child of my own. I’ve got my Mom-hat on all the time, so I know what my Newborn clients are thinking…

– Can our Newborn baby still be photographed?
– Should I have pregnancy photos during Coronavirus?
– Are Photography studios safe?
– How do I protect my Newborn during Coronavirus?
– How will my Newborn Photographer handle my baby?

As per the SA Government and following current health advise, Newborn Photographers fall under Level 1 and should not be open or operating at all without the proper paperwork as far as i am aware we are only allowed to start shooting again on Level 1.   My Newborn studio is in my family home, so I am closed and won't open at all until Level 1 is in effect to protect my family as well as my clients.

My studio is kept as clean and minimal as possible – both because I love the minimal “feel”, and also because I need a clean, fresh environment for my littlest clients. Handwashing and sanitiser happens during every session, as does mopping before and after with Dettol, spraying the couch and furniture , wiping down products and surfaces, and air drying the studio between sessions. During these times I ask that every family member uses sanitiser upon arrival and leaving the studio, and only present to the studio if you are healthy. The same goes for Sitter sessions, babies, families, Cake Smash, Maternity etc and the like.
