I work in the charity sector part time so my time is split between the charity, being a mummy and photography. I open for my clients by appointment only. Please enquire for my availability.

I work from home so my address is not public. This will be given to you once booked in. But the Village of Aston, Stevenage is where I am based. There is plenty of parking.

SESSIONS FEES

The session fee covers the photographers time and talent only during your photoshoot, retouching and a single viewing session, does not include any images and is due at time of booking, this forms part of your booking in fee. Session fees taken for any portrait photography session are non-refundable except in the event Olivia Christina (photographer) cancels the booking. The Client may cancel a session at any time but in doing so shall forfeit any monies paid. If you or your children are sick, please give 24-48 hours’ notice to reschedule your session. If at least 24 hours’ notice is not given or client is a no show, there will be a rebooking fee charged. If your session is a cakesmash a fee of £40 will be applied to the card you booked in with this is due to a cake being custom made for your session which cannot then be repurposed. Wherever possible please reschedule.

ILLNESS POLICY

During these unprecedented times, we have to be accommodating and honestly forthright with our health. You are required to complete a declaration 24 hours prior to your session (any session from a photoshoot, viewing, product collection). If you or any member of your party are experiencing any illness, we will reschedule your session once you are better. By booking you agreed explicitly to these terms and conditions. If you choose to arrive at the studio ill and any member of your party is ill, you will be asked to leave and reschedule. If Olivia is made ill, this impacts up to 5-10 other clients which is not fair. Of course getting ill can be unavoidable at times but wherever it can be avoided Olivia takes stringent steps to mitigate having to turn a baby away as you simply do not get days back when they are so small.

Clients

• Masks are required to be worn when instructed and can be provided by the studio.

• Social distancing is to be respected by all parties.

• Use of antibacterial hand sanitiser and cleaning hands is a requirement prior to entering the studio.
