Marsha Mifsud is the founder and editor of The Savvy Photographer
and the owner of Sweet Bliss Studios in McLean, Virginia &
Seaside Portraits by Marsha in Coronado, California.

She has spent over 12 years as a professional photographer.

Marsha has discovered a love for blogging..."I think it allows me to be all things...a writer, a creator, an artist...and at the end of the day, I'm still a wife and mom {the one thing I've truly always wanted to be}."

"I dream about having my own {fabulously decorated} studio one day...if it wasn't for those frequent moves across the country. But the truth is, I wouldn't trade all those moves for anything because along the way came some incredible friendships and wonderful experiences."

my savvy secret...{that's not so secret}

I have gotten several emails about photographing
indoors with low light.
{It was a dark and gloomy day when the following pictures were taken}.
The most important thing is a great lens.
I use my Nikon 50mm 1.4 lens for practically everything...
I love this lens!
I tell all my clients that ask me how they can take really great images in their home that this is the lens to get...you will use it {and love it}.

gracing my walls...



Just a peek at what is gracing my walls...
We just moved in four months ago {seems like we've been here forever} so there are many pictures leaning against the walls still.
Not sure if those will ever get up "on the wall' but they are still gracing the wall...right?

Where does my inspiration start...
my home...and the things that surround me there.

And decorating on a budget is my way of decorating. I love finding things on sale {or just great deals} and making them work for my style.
