Can you believe it’s been an entire year (plus a couple months) since we closed and reopened the studio.  As we have been through this journey, we have a bigger appreciation for all of you and for how much more cleaning supplies we go through!

In the past year, we have had to change the way we do our business in a big way.  We had to rethink our sessions, your reveal session, and how we deliver product and so much more.  We made a switch to different types of sessions including offering outdoor sessions for the very first time in our 12 years of business.  We were able to space out our sessions more, to not only clean and sanitize but eliminated any rush from the session.  We also have been to transition to video ordering appointments.  We are so grateful.  We had some help with some PPP grants/loans but without all of you, none of this would be possible.

It also seems that New York City is returning to it’s semi normal self.  Back to it’s usual hustle and bustle and train delays.  What does that mean for our studio?

A lot of the protocols we put in place when we reopened will be remaining in place for the studio appointments.  We will be continuing to have adequate spacing between clients for cleaning and sanitizing.  We will continue video ordering appointments through the end of the year.  We will continue to wear masks in the studio, because even though we are all vaccinated now, kids under 12 cannot and we want to do our part to keep them safe.  After all, they are the ones usually getting photos taken.  We will also continue frequent hand washing/sanitizing and removal of outdoor shoes for everyone.

We will continue to navigate this crazy pandemic and adjust accordingly.  We hope each and everyone of you continues to stay well and we are looking forward to seeing old and new faces throughout the summer and for the holidays.  We are also hoping to offer outdoor beach sessions later this summer. Stay tuned for more details.
