RECOMMEND ME?




Anonymous: I find it so amazing how you and your sister are both gorgeous girls, but you both look entirely of different ethnicity although you both share the same mom and dad. Scientifically curious, were you twins? And how is this biologically possible?

i think that we actually look a lot alike but people find it hard to get past the color. we are not twins. we are about 2 years apart. i do look like my dad but i have the complexion of my mom and my sister looks like my mom but has the complexion of my dad.

thepaulypocket-deactivated20110: You and your sister are beautiful! How are you guys sisters?

thanks um we are sisters because my dad and mom decided to mate and have babies and thus we were born.

mauism: merry christmas marissa! :)

Thank you! Merry christmas to you too!

Anonymous: Are you rich? like wealthy? What does your dad do for a living?

No and my dad is a supervisor for Time Warner 

haphotography: Geez where do you get the $$ to buy all your lenses. I like your lens set-up btw, i'm more a fixed lens w/ primes but you've got a nice collection.

haha my dad buys them for me. luckily he’s into photography too :)

af-alfi: i saw you on FYFC... but does your sister have a tumblr? haha!

She refuses to get a tumblr because she thinks that she will be stuck on the computer all day so she just uses mine to look through my dash.

Anonymous: Wow, how much did you get them for?

Um… I purchase all of my lenses at samys in costa mesa so for retail value. 

Anonymous: What lenses do you use on your XTi?

I usually use the canon 70-200mm f/2.8L IS USM . I also have a canon 135mm f/2L USM and a canon 28-135mm f/3.5-5.6 IS USM . I am getting the canon 24-70mm f/2.8L USM sometime soon too.

queenpinphoto: I like the diptychs you used for recent wedding photos, did you just make them yourself in photoshop or did you download them?

I used mostly lightroom for the recent wedding photos. For some I used the kubota lightroom presets available here which is about $50. I also use a few downloaded ones that I can send to you in an email because I don’t remember where I got them. And also, I shoot in RAW so if you try to use these presets with jpegs they just turn out ugly.

Anonymous: Did your parents think it was weird how your sister looks filipino & you look french?

Not really because I look like my filipino dad and nothing like my mom except for her skin tone/hair.

Anonymous: can you please post a photo of your parents ?

there is a photo of my family on my faq’s page.

anmuloc: Hey Marissa what are your prices to hire you? and do you take care of printing?

Anonymous: r u goin to the irvine spectrum meet up tomoro? ur cakes are cool btw

Hmm… maybe. But if I do it will probably just be to drop off my brother. Thanks :)

Anonymous: how do you stay so skinny

Well I think it’s genentic but um I’d have to say that I don’t eat excessively. I watch what I eat and I only eat fast food once a week. I go for a walk after dinner every other day. But really, I think it’s just genetics.

Anonymous: I'm lovin' your cake! Can post how you do that? If you don't mind.

there’s no specific way to decorate a cake. you just have to figure out what you need to do in order to make it look the way that you want! lol i don’t know how else to explain it
