Why Self Portraiture?

I have been meaning to do this again for months, only this time, I didn't dance and sing while my kids are watching and say that I am crazy for dancing without music. It was fun and I intend to do this more often. Why? I honestly think that this will help me grow as a photographer and will push me to be more creative.

The first 2 images were done with in-camera multi exposure. For the first exposure (myself) I used the Lensbaby Edge 80 and for the second one, I used Lensbaby Sweet 35 with the heart creative aperture disc.

Thank you so much for peeking through. :) Hugs, Marisa

2013 FALL COLORS OF GOLD

Oh, hello there! I am way, way, way behind posting. I have been crazy busy (and very happy) these past few months, working on some commissioned paintings and photo shoots. So blessed I have such amazing boys, yes, my 3 boys, who has been very supportive of me. I love them to death! Anywho, I decided to catch up on posting these Fall photos first before I share photos of this holiday season. And you know what that means....christmas lights means lots and lots and lots of bokeh. :)

These photos were taken either before and after my clients' photo sessions. I didn't have the chance to do the Fall shots I really wanted. I have listed months ago the photo projects I wanted to do...but, oh well...time didn't allow me to. Something to look forward to for next year. ;)

Enjoy! Hugs, Marisa
