Covid-19 Response Hampton Roads Lifestyle and Wedding Photographer

Hello friends! Given recent events and news, I wanted to pop on and post a few updates. I know these have been crazy and trying times. With the news changing day to day, almost hour to hour, we are all uneasy and uncertain about what the future will bring. Businesses and families are struggling, lives are changing, and we are all a bit weary from the stress and anxiety of it all. I’m right there with you!

In the short term, I want to assure you that I’m staying updated on the latest information from the CDC, the WHO and local and state authorities. I am acting responsibly by practicing social distancing and by holding meetings online instead of in person. I am following guidelines to #stayhome as much as possible. Additionally, I am making sure that all of my clients know what to expect from me.

I am working closely with wedding and event clients to reschedule or accommodate changes as necessary. Any sessions affected by the Stay at Home mandate through June 10th, are being rescheduled as well. I am doing my best to work with each client’s scheduling needs, but ask that you confirm a new date as soon as possible so that I can make appropriate calendar changes to accommodate as many clients as possible. I greatly appreciate your patience and flexibility, as we all try our best to navigate this new reality.

Please know that your safety and well-being, and making sure we figure out the best way to capture your memories, are my top priorities. If you have any questions or concerns please don’t hesitate to contact me.

On a personal note: while I am working at home, I am finding ways to give back to my community (I’d love for you to join my #sharejOy campaign - it feels good to do good!), documenting everyday moments with my own family, participating in online workshops to stretch my creativity, and doing my best to find inspiration in the world around me. I’d love to hear how you are managing! Leave a comment below and let’s stay connected even if we can’t be together.

Be well friends! We’ll get through this. - xoxox, Melissa
