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. 

 


Sneak Peek: Mark & Amy’s AFTER-Wedding Shoot

Mark and Amy got married last year, but that didn't stop them from recently dressing up in their wedding fineries and parading through Old Town Orange. We've all been there before… the wedding day comes and goes, and while you want the best photos possible to capture it all, the actual day passes in a bit more than a blur. There is so much going on that day, that sometimes you want a little bit more than you have time for. All the more reason to get dressed up later and capture the photos you didn't have a chance to get the first time around. 

I'm still in the editing process with this set, but got excited and wanted to share a few faves so far. More to come soon…
