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.

My Dearest Trude

This is the second time I had the pleasure of photographing Trude and I must say that this could become an addicting habit. I’m already anxious for our spring photo swap, mostly because I love wild flowers and they will be springing everywhere and my guy will be taking photos with me too. Oh and I can also wear fun dresses and even embrace my chicken legs (it only took me 21 years) and now I can be photographed by one of my besties and Caroline – groovy!

I’ll let the photos speak for themselves since most of you that follow the blog (even though you don’t leave comments Erik, Kris, Fabian to name a few) already know about the photo swap and all the juicy details, if not scroll down two posts down to Meet Caroline. Just like in Caroline’s photos, these are all SOOC as far as cropping and tilting go except for one photo. I’m really proud of the results and I hope you enjoy.

I love her eyes in this photo, but most of all I finally have proof to show her that her hands are just as beautiful.

Just gorgeous, natural posing and I’ve captured her beautiful eyes. She might kill me for posting such a close-up of her, but I’ll take the beating so you as a viewer can enjoy, you’re welcome.;)

I’ve always loved the way Trude laughs, how she throws her head back.

Just awesome!!!!!!!!!!!! I played with the tilt SOOC and then in processing used a fun sunshine action to bring out the natural sunflare and sun spots.

Trude is an amazing photographer herself, smart & sassy woman that just happens to be one of my best friends. I know, I’m pretty blessed liked that.

Life gets a little crazy sometimes, but I can always count on her to listen to me. She’s one of the best listener’s I know and like in my family she’s the only girl, so we both truly understand the essence of sisterhood via friendships. She is my techy and often my email pal whether it’s personal, photography based or our linky love emails, we always share and help out one another. Don’t even get me started on the fashion and shopping guru that she is, but I mooch off of that too and we try to keep our shopping dates at a minimum otherwise we get into major trouble. I won’t even get into our mutual addiction and love affair with dark chocolate and guacamole, I just won’t. Love you amiga!

Will be back with some more photo goodness, I  have two maternity shoots this week and I’m really excited about it.
