Keeping it REAL...

I'm Michelle Carrillo... owner & photographer of the Suitcase Studio.

I think I see things a little differently than most people. I don't find beauty in perfection. I don't go for the perfectly posed photos, or smiles that have been practiced in the mirrors.  Instead, I'm here to capture the REAL stuff... the moments that happen in-between those poses. The imperfect smiles, the nervous laughter, and even that crazy face you make when you think that no one else is watching.

To help keep it real, I shoot on-location here in Orange County, California. (No stuffy studio!) I travel to where you are... to whatever place showcases you and your style. My goal is to document real lIfe, and thus, I mainly focus on weddings & lifestyle/portrait photography.

From pics of recent clients to thoughts & images of my own life, I'm here to share this journey with you. Keepin' it real... one moment at a time.

Because this is real life. It doesn't have to be perfect to be beautiful. 

 


Play BALL!

Today was the 3rd annual softball game held by a bunch of friends of mine. I was a willing participant, though my body protested. It was a LOT of fun, however (and I have the pictures to prove it). And my team won, too, which made it all the better…   

Of course I had my camera out whenever possible. Here are some favorite shots of the day:

Proof that I actually DID play today (and even scored a couple points, thank you very much!)

Notice one of the infielders duck as Tony hits the ball…
