First off, I hope you and your loved ones are staying healthy and safe. I’m certainly doing my best and taking the current events of coronavirus and COVID-19 very seriously. I want to share these coronavirus safe-session policies I’m implementing to protect you, your team, myself and my team.
GreenEarth Photography will resume photographing your business headshots, actor headshots and portraits starting May 12, 2020. For the time being these sessions will take place at a non-studio location. This could be outside near the studio. It could be in your garage – yes, it’s strange but will work beautifully as a makeshift studio when I set up my lights and backdrop. We could photograph your headshots at your office in a low-traffic area or somewhere to be determined. You may book your 1-2 person session here: Book Now. For larger groups needing headshots at your office or other location you may book that session here. Either way I will call you shortly to discuss location.
For safety and liability purposes, I won’t be opening up my studio until June 2, 2020. This date may change. However, for those clients who send me their new hires where we match a consistent look with the rest of your team, we’re still going to achieve that. When shooting on location, I will provide the same setup that I do in my studio. For new clients looking for a unique look, we can photograph outdoors near my studio.
Going forward, these new coronavirus safe-session policies will apply to all sessions and will continue to evolve as the situation dictates.
- Equipment will be wiped down with sanitizing solution upon set up prior to client’s arrival, and in between clients.
- Lysol will be sprayed in the air.
- Photographer (and makeup artist when scheduled) will wear a mask at all times.
- Client will wear a mask to session and immediately following session during our on-site review of images.
- Photographer and client will keep at least 6 feet from each other at all times.
- A no-touch policy will be in place which means no handshakes, no adjusting of subject’s hair, makeup or clothing. Photographer will direct subject to make adjustments and will provide a stand-up mirror.
- Client shall not touch any piece of equipment at any time.
- Photographer, makeup artist and subject will wash their hands or use hand sanitizer upon arrival to location/set and every hour. Photographer will provide hand sanitizer and will be the only one to touch the bottle.
- 48 hour cancellation policy waived if illness occurs.
- If either photographer or subject feels sick in any capacity prior to the session or day of, especially fever or cough, photo session will not take place under any circumstances and will be rescheduled.
- If client or photographer feels unsafe at any time during the session, session will end and both client and photographer will determine how to proceed.
I am watching the situation closely and will update this blog as things change. To book a 1-2 person non-studio session, you may click Book Now and I will call you shortly to discuss location. For larger groups, please book here. Feel free to call me with any questions.
I wish good health to you and your family.

Meet Mariana
Check out Mariana’s polished, professional look! At the new studio we have the option to photograph your headshots outdoors without straying far. If you’ve been reading my recent newsletters, blog posts and/or website, you know that in May, I moved my studio to the Curtis Park neighborhood. This neighborhood is full of color and texture making it fun to find interesting and varied backdrops. I’ve been wanting to do more headshots outdoors in this neighborhood forEVER and now that my studio is here, it’s happening. S0 excited!!
Mariana and I stepped right outside the studio for some of these headshots, and as far as two blocks away. What’s so great about that? It gives us different possibilities for color, depth and interest, consequently

Fay Engineering was referred to me from a business colleague and I had the fortunate opportunity to work with Kathleen Vigil and the rest of the engineers and staff at Fay. They were so happy to update their images. In an age when people are often changing careers and jobs, the employees at Fay Engineering have been there many years together and are there for the long haul. They explain how an accident happened down to recreating the movement of the vehicle or the person electronically through human motion technology.
I photographed three members in my studio and once the rest of the staff saw the huge difference between the photos they already had and the new, professional photos, I was hired to come into the office and photograph the remaining six engineer headshots. Here’s a link to the final results shown on their web page of bios. Here are the six I photographed on location at Fay Engineering offices.
