What should I expect?
Nothing to be nervous about, my goal is for this to be as comfortable an experience as possible for you & yours. A laid back 60 minutes of shooting yeilding 50 finished images. You'll also have the opprotunity to pruchase prints or additional images.
I view my sessions as a creative collaboration and exploration of the present moment. It's not about coming together to pose for photos, but rather a time you set aside to be with your loved one(s) and be seen as you are. If children are present I will let them set the pace and give them time to gain my trust before asking too much of them. I've been photographing folks for 10 years and I've learned how to direct my subjects throughout the session, while still allowing for your natrual self to shine through.
how much does this cost?
The total cost of this session is $550. A depsoit of $99 secures your booking and the remaining balance of $451 is due 1 day before your session. Installments are available by request.
Where will we be taking photos?
You may chose between an In-Home Session or an outdoor location near Turlock CA. After your session is booked, I will reach out and connect regarding your location choice.
If you choose an In Home Session, I typically photograph families in the spaces where everyone is most comfrotable, or where you tend to spend time together. The light in your home will inform the shots we create, as long as you have windows with some natural light we're sure to create some magic.
Here's A Sample Gallery of an In Home Sessions if you'd like to see more.
What should I wear?
My only rule is to wear something you're comfortable in, if you feel like yourself in it, it's the right choice.
If you need more direction: Solid colors work wonderful, if you're totally stumped try putting everyone in their own solid color and see if the colors look nice togehter. I reccomend staying away from bright patterns and obvious logos or words on clothing.
Should I prepare anything?
Nope! All you have to do is show up. If you have inspiration for what this session might look and feel like, you are welcome to share that with me via email to hi@marilyndays.com
How many photos will I recieve and when should I expect them?
You'll receive 60 finished images uploaded to a private digital gallery where you'll have a full resolution download anytime you need it. You'll also have options for ordering prints shipped directly to you, or you can download at full resolution for safe keeping/ printing on your own.
You can expect your gallery 3-4 weeks after your session date.
