principal photographer and owner at Milou and Olin Photography - , California, United States
So, say you're strolling along, and you happened to walk smack into Caroline Winata's (her good friends call her Olin) Northern California photography studio. Bam! First you'd likely notice her doors are always open and her studio is always awesome! It's there where you'll find her hard at work with best puppy friend Milou. Or sometimes, chillin' on her Xbox while listening to the Head and the Heart.You'd also find her totally obsessing over design, magazines, Pinterest, and Tumblr. She's quite frequently nerding out over random light, vacations to far away lands, non fiction books and yummy dessert recipes, all while finding the humor and coolness in obscure moments. When she's not squeeing over chunky cocktail rings, Facebook, or dog-friendly beaches, she's cuddling with the dogs, hanging with friends and enjoying sashimi and cupcakes (not necessarily in that order).Many happy places love Caroline, including Martha Stewart, Bride's Magazine, The Knot, Style Me Pretty, Green Wedding Shoes, and PhotoPro Magazine. Caroline was also named one of Rangefinder Magazine's Top 30 Rising Stars in 2012. Not bad, right? She still can't believe it all either!When not obsessed with photography, puppies and all things sparkly, Caroline is also working on her snazzy open air photo booth, Giggle & Riot Funbooths and her woman-centric non-profit, HelloXOXO, a place that melds fun, femininity and community.
