Brystan Studios, Aliso Viejo

At Brystan Studios, a team of female photographers attempt to create everlasting beauty using professional lighting and designer sets. They photograph snuggly babies, smiling teens, and happy families, as well as snap boudoir and wedding shots. They also create love-note videos, professionally produced short films that capture the subject's inner starlet without the use of a net.

The studio is the brainchild of Lori Brystan, a former model who moved to the other side of the camera lens. She believes her greatest strength is capturing a client's essence in her photographs, and her work has been included in such national publications as Elle Décor and Family Circle. The busy shutterbug also works as beauty editor for the lifestyle pub Greer's OC, and she is the creator and producer of Show Supper Club, a music and entertainment event production company.
