GR Studio Space is OPEN!

I am elated to announce that after a lot of ups and downs, GR Studio Space can finally open its doors again! Things will look a little different than before, but it is imperative to keep everyone’s health and safety as the top priority. It may seem a little overwhelming, but this is what is necessary to ensure that the studios are a safe place. The new policies and rules are outlined below, and are posted on the outside of all studio doors:

Hand sanitizer can be found in wall mounted dispensers just inside each studio door. The hard surface disinfectant I have chosen is called Force of Nature. It is on the EPA’s list of disinfectants for use against SARS-CoV-2, the cause of COVID-19. It disinfects and sanitizes as effectively as bleach with no harmful chemicals - this means it is safe for use around children and those with allergies/sensitivities. The EPA registration number is 93040-1 and you can find more information about Force of Nature here. There is also fabric disinfectant provided. Bed linens are strictly limited to one use, so if you will be using the bed to photograph clients, you will need to make the bed prior to your shoot, and dispose of used linens as directed after your shoot.

I know this is a lot to do, so I am providing a free of charge add on of 20 minutes to your booking - this add on is required at this time. I will be closely monitoring the studios ensure that photographers are utilizing that time for cleaning purposes, so don’t be surprised to see me at the beginning and/or end of your session. I will also be disinfecting used studios at the end of each day. I have also put together a health screening questionnaire that I encourage you to use for your clients, please contact me if you would like a copy.

Thank you all so very much for your support through all of this, and welcome back!
