The Suitcase Studio Blog bio picture

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. 

 


MORE from Mark & Amy’s After-Wedding Session

Here are some more shots from Mark & Amy's after-wedding shoot. As usual, I had a difficult time choosing my favorites. The area was so incredibly beautiful, that the pictures just seemed to create themselves. 

As for the location, we started at the Chapman Chapel in Old Town Orange, and then moved to the Orange Circle (which might seem familiar because it has been featured in countless movies). I fell in LOVE with this one alleyway with brick on one side, white walls on the other, and a painted orange in the middle! Awesome! 

Anyways, here is the eye candy from the day:
