Nancy Orozco Blog bio picture
  • A lover of the visual arts and the girl who always had a wall of photographs in her bedroom. I'm always giddy with excitement to share these captured moments with friends, family and now my clients. The emotions my photographs evoke is one of life's greatest pleasures for me. 

    In the last year I have explored my creativity and discovered a great joy for photography. I am both self-taught and also studied at Tri-Community Photo Program in Covina, CA. I shoot in natural light and my style can be best described as photojournalistic. My goal is to capture you and or your families' lifestyle, uniqueness and tell your story. The session time is our play time so fun accessories and snacks are encouraged!

    Currently available for photo sessions in LA and Orange County, but I love to travel so please do inquire for pricing outside these areas.

    I live in LA with my life partner Kris and enjoy cooking, travel, wine tasting, reading and the beach.

I’ve Been Tagged

I was tagged by Trude, here we go!

1. Where is your cell phone? On my nightstand, I think. It’s never attached to me, hence the voicemail when people call me.

2. Your hair: Super curly and wild.

3. Your mother: Is the best cook and a great role model for healthy eating. She loves the arts, reading, good and healthy food, gardening and family is the most important thing to her, she instilled this in me and I love her for that.

4. Your dad: Also a great cook, walks super fast, hard working and makes funny faces, all the time. He always gave me cards, or flowers on Valentine’s Day and always has believed in me, I am thankful for this.

5. Your favorite food: Enchiladas, halibut, ahi tuna, paella, yummy salad, cheese, fruit, veggies and good lasagna.

6. Your dream from last night: Nothing thank goodness, last month I had terrible nightmares.

7. Your favorite drink: Unsweetened iced tea with lemon, green tea and water.

8. Your dream/goal: Masters in nutrition, continue to be more successful in my photography business, get certified to teach yoga, take cooking courses in Italy, purchase a beach cottage off the Oregon coast and many even run it as a B&B, travel the world, go to Greece, Spain, Portugal & Italy in the next 5 years, write a book or publish a photo book and yeah, I think that’s all I can think of. I dream big!

9. What room are you in: Spare bedroom/office in my house.

10. What is your hobby? Cooking, reading & photography.

11. What is your fear? Not being able to help my parents in the future when they are in need.

12. Where were you last night? At home, eating dinner with Kris, chatting and planning for next week and watching Modern Family.

13. Something you are not: Someone who holds grudges or doesn’t care. Once you’re special to me, I will forever care, care and care for you and you have to do something pretty big for me not to forgive and just move on.

14. Muffins: Smell great in the oven, but I like cupcakes even more.

15. Wish list items: Dangerous question! An upgraded camera, especially if I start doing more weddings. The Fuji Instax Camera, these gloves for my cold hands, this lovely print, new reading material from Barnes & Noble and lot’s of stuff from Sur La Table.

19. Your TV: Modern Family, Grey’s Anatomy, Big Bang Theory, re-runs of I Love Lucy & Roseanne, plus the occasional Real Housewives of NY or Atlanta, don’t judge.

20. Your pets: Kris and I have never had any. Only because we have always had crazy schedules, worked far from home and have a small patio. It wouldn’t be fair to the dog we want, it will just have to wait until we have a yard or live closer to work.
