Update: 14th October 2021
What a year this has been! And what an 'end of year' we're going to have as we condense nearly six months worth of clients into less than two months. We have missed the newborn stage of so many bubs and our childcare centres will be condensed into a shorter time period, but I am thrilled to be dusting off the camera gear to capture beautiful memories for families of The Illawarra again.
Bump to Bounce Photography is now fully booked for the remainder of 2021 and we have a waitlist that you are welcome to join if any sessions become available or as we start to book ahead into early 2022. To join out waitlist, simply send me an email bumptobounce@outlook.com with the type of session you would like to book (newborn, family, maternity, childcare).
Below is an update of the Covid Safe requirements for the professional photography industry in accordance with the NSW Covid19 Roadmap out of lockdown and as recommended by the AIPP (Australian Instititue of Professional Photographers).
VACCINATION REQUIREMENT
For the peace of mind of all clients I can advise I am fully vaccinated. Upon reopening all participants over the age of 16 must also be double vaccinated (or have an official medical exemption) until 1 December 2021 when NSW opens up to all citizens. There is no judgement or debate on this topic, I simply need to follow the rules.
ALL SESSIONS
Social Distancing - we will maintain the recommended 1.5m distance
Masks - Masks are to be worn by those 16years + for the duration of your shoot with the exception of taking it off to be photographed - so for example, if we are photographing your children, your mask will need to be put back on until the lens is back on you.
NEWBORN PORTRAIT SESSIONS
Our clients who were booked in during lockdown have been contacted and rebooked accordingly. We have made the decision to hold all newborn sessions outdoors in a family lifestyle type session. They will be less posed than our usual in home sessions but there will still be plenty of beautiful moments of your sweet baby's beautiful features and of course, your family as a whole.
FAMILY PORTRAIT SESSIONS
All families who were booked during lockdown and into the end of 2021 have been contacted and rebooked accordingly. Sessions will be held outdoors only.
We will conduct our childcare sessions socially distanced and this year we will have to wear masks. No doubt your little ones will be used to seeing adults in masks.
Print Orders - Our professional print laboratory in is Brisbane and as you will be aware, the post has been somewhat unreliable. Whilst we will make every effort to ensure photographs are delivered in a timely manner, unfortunately I may not be able to guarentee pre Christmas delivery on print parcels. This is something I will be monitoring and will advise when necessary. If you would like to include photographs as Christmas gifts, you may like to look into our digital photograph options.
Patience; we ask you for your patience during this time.
As mentioned above, we are condensing 6 months worth of clients in just under 2 months. During lockdown, we have streamlined processes and put measures in place to ensure we operate as efficiently as possible, but if we take a little longer than expected to respond to your query, I promise we will get to you!
FINALLY
Please take care of yourselves and your family during these uncertain times. I am thrilled to be back behind the lens again and providing you with gorgeous photographs that I know will bring a smile after these tricky times.
With warmest regards
