Flexibility / Health Precautions

In an effort to keep myself, my family, and my clients safe I am implementing a Flexibility Safeguard. If on the days leading up to your sesison anyone in your family feels sick (or comes in contact with someone known to be sick), we can shuffle things around with no hassle.

I'm fully vaccinated against Covid-19 and am happy to wear a mask during our session if you'd prefer. If you have specific requests or ways I can make this a more comfortable experience please let me know via hi@marilyndays.com

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.

Once you have booked your session, you'll recevie details on meeting point and directions. When we're done, you'll be free to enjoy the coast for the rest of the day. Here's A Sample Gallery if you'd like to see a previous session.

how much does this cost?

The total cost of this session is $600. A depsoit of $99 secures your booking and the remaining balance of $501 is due on the day of your session. Installments are available by request. Special pricing availble for Single Parent families.

Where will we be taking photos?

Just outside of Carmel By The Sea will be our meeting point. I will scout my favorite spots the day prior and will send an exact location to your phone via text.

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 wonderfully, 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 busy patterns and obvious logos or words on clothing.

How many photos will I recieve and when should I expect them?

You'll receive many finished images in your final gallery. Your session includes 60 finshed images of your choice. All images are uploaded to a private digital gallery where you can make image selections and purchase additional images. You'll 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.
