Sounds like a big statement huh?

But that’s exactly what you are doing when you use my services, because 1% of all profit goes directly back to a cause that is close to my heart.

Your booking directly support SisterWorks, a non-for-profit, Melbourne based organisation that supports local refugee and migrant women to empower themselves physically, emotionally and financially through handmade foods and crafts. (And these lady-boss entrepreneurs have some serious skills! Just have a look at what they have been creating here.)

SisterWorks is all about providing our newest Australian women with the right environment to get them into the workforce- because work empowers women.

You can find out more about the SisterWorks story here.

I believe that we all have a responsibility to minimise our footprint on this beautiful planet.

Here’s how I am playing my part:

• I use plastic free packaging

• I choose to use a bank that does not invest in fossil fuels

• I work out of a space that offsets 100% of it’s carbon emissions and I catch public transport into that space

• I use a digital download/online gallery system rather than USBs

If you’d like some more information about sustainable wedding you can find a whole heap of information and ideas at Less Stuff More Meaning.

This is just a step in the right direction and I’m always open to continually improving my practice for the better.

COVID Safe Plan

I’m doing my part to protect my clients and our community by following a COVID-Safe plan in Melbourne/Victoria. I will be following current safe hygiene procedures and following current risk reduction plans. I will be carrying my permit as well as a COVID-Safe plan with me at all times.

General Safe Practices

Physical Distancing & Prevention

• All meetings will be held over the phone or teleconference such as Skype/Zoom.

• Postpone any photo shoots that are not urgent where possible

• Stay 1.5m apart as much as possible

Health

• If I am feeling unwell I will self isolate and another photographer will be assigned.

• If I am confirmed to have COVID-19, I will isolate for a minimum of 14 days and any close contacts are to monitor for symptoms and seek medical advice.

Equipment

• All equipment being used for a shoot is cleaned prior to being used and after.

• Client/s are not to handle any of the photographer’s equipment – including loading in/out.

• Viewing stations are currently not in use and we are using online proofing systems.

• Photographers will no longer be able to assist in taking photos using another person’s camera/phone.

Hygiene

• Carrying hand sanitiser and having it made available to clients

• Ensuring extra hand washing & sanitising is adhered to; ie picking up an item.

Face Masks

• A face mask will be worn at all times whilst monitoring how it is worn on myself and assistant if using

• Using a new or cleaned face mask every day

Record Keeping

• Keeping all records of photographer job movements/client details

• Record keeping of key personal such as other suppliers if needed to contact

• In the event that I become unwell up to 14 days after the event, I will contact the couple and suppliers and inform them that I am going for testing and awaiting results. I will advise them of results

• Having a process and responsibility for notifying DHHS and WorkSafe if COVID positive

Booked in & Feeling unwell?

If you are feeling unwell and have any flu-like symptoms please let me know, I kindly request that any photography sessions are postponed and I will be happy to rearrange any sessions booked.

I want to reassure all my clients that if in the event I were unable to attend your photography session or wedding due to the virus or self isolation, I have a network of amazing photographers that I would call on to replace me on the day. All post production would fall under the Finder Seeker brand so the final product would meet the same standard.
