We’ve been thinking a lot about what our “new normal” will look like as a photography and video studio. Of course, safety is our top concern for our team, clients and community. 

But how?

To help us navigate the COVID-19 pandemic, we knew we needed a set of health and safety standards – for our studio, team members and clients. 

But we didn’t just want these guidelines to keep us safe; we also wanted them to help lift our spirits and find the good in this “new normal.”

As is the SchlickArt way, we will do our best to make your photography and video experience feel as fun and confident as possible.

Because we could all use an extra dose of fun right now. 

So here are our SchlickArt Studios COVID-19 Health & Safety Policies that will guide us through this “new normal” with safety, levity and a little SchlickArt spirit
