COVID-19 Payment Policies & Protections
I know that times are different and unknown on top of the already unexpected happenings surrounding birth.
In order to decrease added stress around the current COVID restrictions surrounding visitors in the hospital setting, I have implemented the following policies regarding my payment structure:
Payment policies: Home & birth center births
No money required at booking
$500 retainer fee due at 36 weeks gestation
Remaining balance due within 48 hours after baby’s birth
Should you pay retainer and then have to change your birth location to a hospital where I cannot provide services, your retainer will be applied to a future session (Fresh Session, Milestone Session or Smash Cake)
payment policies: hospital birth
No money required at booking
$500 retainer due at 36 weeks IF it is determined that I can provide services for you at that time.
Remaining balance due within 48 hours after baby’s birth
Should you pay your retainer and then the hospital changes their policies to not allow my presence, your retainer will be applied to a future session (Fresh Session, Milestone Session or Smash Cake)
I understand that we all have concerns about the health and safety of our family. Here are the precautions that you can expect from me:
precautions prior to:
I will notify you if myself or one of my family members is or has recently been exposed to COVID-19.
A back-up will be provided in my absence to perform the same services promised to you. They shoot, I edit and deliver images.
This also applies (and has always applied) to any other contagious illness that might be exposed to your family.
Precautions during:
I will follow the guidelines set forth by you and/or your place of birth in regards to COVID screening and mask wearing
I will sanitize/wash my hands upon entering your birth space (this has always been in place)
I will remove my shoes upon entering the home for home births
