Studio Roldan

Modern Timeless Photography

Meet Carlos Roldan

I’m Carlos, a photographer based in La Jolla, CA.

I work with couples, families, and brands to create clean, honest images that feel like real life.

I like to keep things simple. Good light, natural connection, and an easygoing approach so you can show up as yourself. My goal is to capture the moments you’ll actually want to look back on, the ones that don’t feel staged or forced.

Outside of photography, you’ll find me near the ocean, chasing good coffee, or on the hunt for new inspiration.

If you’re into timeless, laid-back photos with a little edge, we’ll get along just fine.

PORTFOLIO

the

“Carlos was amazing to work with. He had a very clear plan for our photo shoot that he tailored based on inspiration we had previously shared with him. He even was able to include our dog and help get his attention during the shoot. He made taking pictures such a fun process for my wife and I. The best part was he turned the pictures around in just a few days with full edits! Completely recommend Carlos for capturing any special moment.”

Testimonials

“Wow where to begin! I am so grateful for the time we spent with Carlos to capture some amazing family and maternity photos. He was such a joy to work with and really made it so easy to be ourselves. He was great even with my toddler who was quite grumpy and certainly not the most compliant model. Yet he somehow managed to get adorable and smiling photos of him.
We are so thankful to Carlos for capturing such a beautiful time in our lives. The photos are so professional and beautiful. In addition, the editing turn around time was incredibly quick! I would highly recommend him and will use him again in the future.

“Carlos is an amazing photographer! He did an exceptional beach engagement photo shoot after my proposal. He is very personable, was great at capturing us in natural poses and edited the photo very quickly. Would 100% recommend Carlos for your photography needs!”
