25 Years at Brystan Studios
My preferred photographer, Lori Brystan is celebrating 25 years at Brystan Studios, a premiere full-service portrait studio in Orange County. Brystan, one of the most sought after photographers in SoCal, is a favorite source for beautiful, stunning and ultra-flattering photos.
If you book a session with Brystan, she’ll donate 25% of the session fee to the Educating Jack & Milly fund, a cause I started in 2010 to give two bright Kenyans, Jack & Milly, a university education in Nairobi. You can choose between family shots, portraits, professional headshots, studio or outdoor sittings.
A professional session by Brystan includes make-up and hair, wardrobe selection is available and portraits are additional.
