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. 

 


in the park

I took Jasper to the park across the street from our house this afternoon; I’m still working on training him on loose leash walking, as well as a handful of other things (yay for puppy training classes!!!).  It was a beautiful Friday afternoon, and with the promise of a beautiful weekend ahead, we took our time together… alternating between walking, running and stopping to train along the way. Absolutely fabulous. While there, I managed to snap a couple interesting pictures with my point-and-shoot; here are my favorites of the day:
