So after the KISSmas party on Friday night, Westissa & I were driving back to San Diego (we got home at about 4am, after a stop at Denny’s & getting lost – ahem – I mean, taking a little ‘detour’ on the 91/605/405 freeways through LA). Anyway, on our drive home, in order to stay awake, we were playing those silly roadtrip games. My game invention was undoubtedly the nerdiest game ever invented. It was a version of the abc game – you know the one where you name something starting with each letter of the alphabet – only for this version you had to name fonts. Yes, fonts. (ie, Weston starts with a: ‘arial’ – Marissa, b: ‘bickham script’ – Me, c: ‘century gothic’) That only lasted a few rounds, until we laughed at the hilarity (aka supreme photog dorkiness) of what we were actually doing. On to the next game: seeing how well we know each other by trying to guess our favorites. My favorite food. Weston’s favorite guitar. Marissa’s favorite TV show while growing up. All I can say is… you certainly do learn a lot about each other while on roadtrips, even short 3-hour trips. I learned something new! Marissa’s fave TV show? Clarissa Explains it all. This is one thing we don’t have in common, as I never watched this show (I was a hard-core Punky fan). But this insight into Marissa gave me a fun little idea. What if we do a series called “Marissa Explains it All”?! I haven’t told her about this, so I guess I still need approval – but what do you think? We’ll ask her questions about anything and everything (boudoir-related or not). I think my first question for her will be about her favorite places to shop for all her cute clothes.
So, if you have a question for Marissa (about anything at all), leave it here in the comment section! 🙂 On another note – coming this week: a new boudoir tip, photos from the KISSmas party, and our December newsletter (coming tomorrow!)
Marissa Explains it all.

You guys are so much fun!!! — My question to Marissa explains it all is…… How did you start into the boudoir photography biz. and with what… ? What do you think it took you to the next level?
Thanks guys!!!
Ditto on Juliana’s Plus sized posing question… as well as the best way to capture “mature” ladies who are… well, a little saggy – or too stiff to get in any of the typical more flattering poses.
Yea, what Claudia said:)
Thanks for your questions, ladies! episode #1 of “Marissa Explains It All” is already done… and it’s coming TONIGHT! We just read another question that we thought was great – so we’re going to go film the response for episode 2 now. Keep the ?s coming! 🙂
