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.
To be fair, he never really cried. Just fussed a little, which was quickly fixed whenever a bottle was thrust into his mouth.
In any case, last Saturday I had the distinct pleasure of meeting Wolfe John Ritzo for the very first time.
His parents are more of the outdoorsy type, so there were no standard nursery shots for this little tyke. Instead, we ventured to a nearby park to capture shots of Wolfe in the fresh air and sunshine. Here are my favorites from the day:
