Please give as much notice as possible if you need to change your appointment. Appointments cancelled with less then 24 hours notice will not be allowed to reschedule. The payment for the session will be forfeited. All deposits are non refundable. A session cancelled within 24 hours can be rescheduled should the sitting fee be paid again.

All viewings take place at the photography studio. Photographs will be available to purchase during this viewing only. After the viewing photographs will not be available for purchase and to retrieve photographs from the archive after the viewing will incur a £50 archive retrieval fee and another viewing will be arranged.

Copyright Law

Under no circumstances can copies be made of the images on the screen. Anyone caught making screen copies, or taking photos on their phones of the screen or any other means of copying the photographs will be in breach of Copyright Law in which copyright of the photographs is owned by the “creator” (in this case the photographer, Mun Lai Melanie Woodward, One Life Studio), which is protected in UK law by the Copyright, Designs and Patents Act 1988. Any clients found breaking this law will be billed for all the photographs in their viewing album at a value of £25 per photograph.

Please allow two weeks for orders from sign off to be complete, and more during peak periods such as holiday periods and bank holidays. All our products are created especially for you by professional services off site, so it takes time for us to receive your finished products.

COVID19 Safety

Due to the current COVID19 pandemic certain measures have been put in place for everyone’s safety.

To keep the cost of our services affordable for all we will not be increasing our rates to cover cleaning times. But sessions will be kept to strict booked sessions to allow time for cleaning and ventilation between sessions. 1 hour for portrait sittings 2.5 hours for newborn shoots and 3 hours for makeover/boudoir shoots. This still gives plenty of time for capturing beautiful photographs and additional time can be purchased at a rate of £50 per hour. Any additional time will be given at the photographers discretion.

All props and the studio floor will be thoroughly cleaned between sessions and props left in quarantine for 3 days. The studio windows will be open throughout the session and left to air between sessions.

Before arriving at the studio

We ask that all clients please take a lateral flow test within 12 hours of coming to the studio. These can be obtained through the NHS free of charge.

It is vital that you inform One Life Studio if you display any COVID19 symptoms or have had a confirmed positive COVID19 test or asked to isolate before or after your session (up to two weeks after). Should anyone arrive with any COVID19 symptoms the shoot will be cancelled immediately and no payment/deposits returned.

We would normally provide clients with refreshments, but we ask that where possible to bring a bottle of water for yourselves to reduce the risk of transmission.

Toilets will be thoroughly cleaned before and after each client’s session.

During the shoot

Please wear a mask at all times unless you are being photographed or having a makeover. A mirror is provided to touch up makeup/hair.

Please refrain from touching props that are not being used in your session and please ask your children to do the same. This reduces the prop choice the next client have available to them for their session. Where possible props will be kept out of reach.

No food to be consumed on the premises except for children and please apply the hand gel provided before and after eating. (This should be kept to necessity for your own safety)

Please keep any additional items to a minimum and brought in a bag to keep items together.

It is everyone’s responsibility to keep everyone safe at this time and together we can get through this pandemic.

Thank you
