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.
I met up with Adriana and Mario yesterday at Balboa Pier to shoot their engagement pictures. And, wouldn’t you know it? It started to rain. They were real troopers, though… we decided to go forth with a mini-shoot and see if we could out-last the rain. (Nope. The rain won.)
But, even though Mother Nature forced us to reschedule the main part of the shoot for a sunnier day, we managed to capture a few great shots in the sprinkles:
More to come when we get a chance to finish the shoot.
