Yay, I love UPS!

June 25, 2008

Well our wonderful UPS Lady came today and brought me a surprise, my new 85mm 1.8. I ve been excited to try this as Ive heard its a must in your camera bag. So I ordered it. Of course I didnt have any kids around, and since our doggy was not getting any public attention, I decided to post a pic of my pup! She is such a good doggy! This is using my 85mm at 5.6 so I can only imagine what it does fully open. No pp’ing on this either, its straight from the camera, love it, its fast and tack sharp! Thanks fellow photogs for the recommendation!
Oh and definitely click on the image to enlarge it, it doesnt do justice small :)

Coming soon…..

June 13, 2008

On Monday I am going to do a post about an upcoming model search. Im in need of models to revamp my website and portfolio as well as try some different ideas Ive had stirring in my head. I will need models of all ages and sexes, so if you are interested please check back Monday for a list of exactly what I need. I have done this in the past and some people end up wanting to do it and then never follow through, and that ends up taking a spot for someone else, so please only serious inquiries. You will be compensated for modeling and you will receive the session free, as well as a print credit in the amount of $25. For my print prices please visit my website at www.marissavargasonphotography.com and click on info and pricing. If you are interested you are more than welcome to email me today and I can set you up under some categories, otherwise I will have the “official” list up on Monday.
Thanks!

For Daddy….

June 3, 2008





This mom and son came to get a few pictures taken for Fathers Day. I think he was more interested in his surroundings (hey I cant blame him, they were neat!) I have to say I feel I captured some great shots and some of my favorites are of him on the tracks, is that hat and coat not to die for!

Google Reader

June 3, 2008

Wow, I just learned about this, okay so I may be a little slow. I love reading others blogs I seriously get a kick out of it it is so fun! Okay so with google reader you can save and organize your favorite blogs all in one spot! Then you can just check one spot daily to see the many updates of all of your favorite blogs! Saves you a bunch of time (which I am lacking) and allows you to just visit one spot instead of the 100′s, okay well maybe not that many but you get where Im going right? Visit: www.google.com/reader and make sure you add www.photosbymarissa.blogspot.com :)
