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. 

 


mini-books

June 16, 2010 mini-sessions, products, the wedding pantry

Just a reminder… the first day of mini-sessions are coming up QUICKLY, on Saturday, June 26 at The Wedding Pantry. There are still a few spots left, so make sure to snag one for yourself and get one of these cute mini-books in the process. Each mini-session includes 15 minutes in front of the camera and one of these adorable mini-books with your best shots included. And at the moment, these little gems are only available when you book a mini-session with me. Click here for details and to reserve yourself a spot.

I recently received my sample mini-books from the printer’s, and was excited to show them off a bit. Each book is 5″x5″, and includes 10 pages (20 sides). Aren’t they CUTE???

June 17, 2010 - 8:37 pm Michelle - most definitely... I'm available any day of the week. And if you were looking for a mini-session on another day... I think the next one will be on a Sunday in July.
