UPDATES

This post will be updated as more information is available

• Friday we spoke with the Orange County department of health and with Governor Newsom's open ended order we, along with all other photography studios, are classified as non-essential and must keep our doors closed. As a small business this is extremely discouraging since we still have rent and bills but we cannot generate any income. We are looking at options so that when this is all over we can open our doors and welcome you all back to Elysium. In the meantime there are ways you can help. There are links at the top of this page where you can buy magazines from the studio, Plushies from Maria or Prints from Slevin. Every little bit helps and we will do our best to get the studio open as soon as we can legally do so. If you have any questions or comments feel free to reach out to us.

• We are going to waive the deposits if you need to cancel your appointment even if it’s last minute. This means we will issue a refund even if you are within the 48 hour window. You must call or email us before your appointment though. No call / no shows will still be handled as they have been. This will remain in effect until April 1st. We also ask that if you are symptomatic or feel sick that you call and cancel or reschedule.
• We have started wiping down the furniture in the studio after every appointment so it may take a little extra time for us to be ready for your appointment. If your start time is delayed we will allow you to run over so you won’t loose any time. We have always wiped down the makeup room and bathrooms between appointments but we are just extending the items we clean after each appointment. We also have some hand sanitizer in the makeup room and we will make it available as long as we can get it. As always there is soap in the bathroom and that is the best way to wash your hands.
• As a small business we will continue to monitor the situation and we will update you as needed.
