“Michelle of The Suitcase Studio is more than a photographer, she is a memory maker. Gone are the days of stressed out moments of trying to get a perfect pose where you look like a plastic version of yourself. Michelle captures the moments you wish you could hold onto forever…and now you can.” -Anna Bourland
“I’ve spent years trying to get the perfect picture of my daughter. Very few photographers have been able to capture the “real” Abbey. We did a session with Michelle for my Abbey’s 5 year old birthday pictures & threw her three cousins into the mix also. Not only did Michelle take our three 5 year olds & one 6 year old in stride, she showed up with bubbles & balloons & created the most awesomely fun photo session the kids have ever done. Thanks to Michelle’s creativity & amazing eye for detail, we walked away with over 50 unbelievable shots. Almost one year later, they are still some of my favorite pictures of four of my favorite kids. I can’t thank Michelle enough for the amazing memories she helped us to capture during our session.” -Emalee Hatch
“Thank you, not just for the lovely photos…. but for the therapy session this event was for us. We reconnected,
remembered why we fell in love and also looked into the future of what’s to come. Thank you… the experience alone will make each photo more memorable.” -Georgina Artiga
“I love them all so much! I could never thank you enough for the amazing and wonderful memories! They’re so beautiful! You are the most talented photographer that I’ve ever met.” -Melissa Gutierrez
“Michelle Carrillo is a wonderful photographer! She is so patient working with kids and photo shy parents, that you get these amazing images you never thought would be possible. Her attitude is so easy going and relaxed, and she’s up for almost any location you suggest… Next time, maybe we’ll try Disneyland!” -Mary Sanchez
