With all the talk on COVID-19, I wanted to shed some light on some changes that will be mandatory for all sessions going forward when booking with Jessica Bauer Photography. I know many of you, like me, have had their world's turned upside down with either kids at home while working, out of work, not able to work due to illness, and the list goes on and on. This Pandemic has definitely made us think and live a different way than we are used to. So to shed some light on my new norm...

How has COVID-19 affected my business and family?

  • Home schooling is going…well…I’m not very good at it. lol
  • I’ve reschedule all sessions from March-Mid-April and missed out on photographing so many amazing newborn babies.
  • It’s been different not having anything to edit and my downtime is refreshing Facebook these days.
  • I have still managed to do all my outdoor sessions according to CDC guidelines

What am I doing going forward during Covid-19?

  • I plan on wearing a mask for all Newborn or studio sessions, during any part of a wedding where I can not be 6 ft away. This would include; getting ready, ceremony & reception. This is to assure I can protect myself for future sessions and weddings.
  • I will help you plan your sessions in less high volume traffic areas.
  • Newborns: I know personally how scary it is for new moms. For your newborn session I will do my part for using single use items. Hand sanitizer will be with me during the session. I will have gloves and a fresh mask I’ll wear to your session. I do suggest you wear a mask for my safety as well. If we have full family portraits I ask that other family members only be there for family set up only. As with my other sessions, if one of us is ill then the session will be rescheduled at no cost.
  • If you worked with me in the past you know I’m a hugger & a hair fluffed during this pandemic I sadly will not be able to do these things. I respectfully hope you will understand and follow suit. Social distancing still needs to happen.
  • I also use to carry your purse or belongings like cell phones & keys. Please leave these things in your car.
  • Any props used in (outdoor and studio) sessions will be individually sanitized & laundered immediately after each use. Every prop will also be refreshed prior to another use.
  • I am also monitoring new developments so that I can keep you updated on your session.

I appreciate everyone and understanding these changes that must be enforced going forward. We well get through this together and hopefully come out stronger on the other end of this thing!! Love you all and stay safe!!
