Coronavirus Covid-19 Photography Procedures

CK Visuals understands and acknowledges the current challenges our world is facing. Therefore, we felt it necessary to share relevant updated information about our company policies and procedures regarding our work.

As we return to work in the [midst/wake] of the 2019 novel coronavirus disease (COVID-19) pandemic, CK Visuals wants to assure our customers of our continued commitment to maintaining a safe and healthy workplace and that we are taking additional measures to protect our customers and staff from the spread of COVID-19.

Adherence to State and Local guidelines

Above all, we at CK Visuals believe in being good community citizens. We will continue to follow and adhere to guidance from the state of North Carolina or the state where the session takes place to provide a safe environment for our customers, subjects, staff and contractors.  

Personal Protective Equipment

We will make use of masks or face coverings while working with customers and subjects. We will continue this measure until new guidance is made available.

Employees & Guidelines

CK Visuals will conduct daily health screenings of our staff and contractors. Any members of our staff or contractors who are sick will stay home. CK Visuals is providing training and educational materials available through the Centers for Disease Control website on proper sanitation, hand washing, cough and sneeze etiquette, use of PPE, and other protective behaviors. 

Social distancing / No touch

Our photographers and assistants will maintain social distance, using no-touch posing methods when at all possible. Only one client (family) should be staged in the immediate photography area. In situations where acceptable we will use signage to maintain six feet of distance to adhere to social distance guidelines. 

Studio Appointments

We will photograph subjects by appointment only in our studio. We will utilize strict scheduling times, allowing sufficient time to sanitize common areas after each client session. Only one client (and family) will be allowed in our studio facilities at any given time.

Adherence to sanitation protocols

Standard sanitation protocols prior to each client should include but not be limited to:

  • Washing hands regularly before and after photographic sessions.

  • Sanitation of photographic equipment and electronic equipment, with which a client may come into contact.

  • Sanitation of restroom/dressing facilities in studio.

  • Sanitation of common areas, including door knobs (interior and exterior), counter tops in studio.

  • Removal of unnecessary paper products.
