Capturing Sunset Magic: Behind-the-Scenes with Corine Olarte Creative Co.
There’s something special about getting to document another creative in their element, and my recent road trip to North Topsail Beach, North Carolina, to shoot behind-the-scenes for Corine Olarte Creative Co. was no exception!
Corine Olarte Creative Co. is a versatile and stylish creative company specializing in inclusive photography that empowers clients and puts them in control of their own narrative. They focus on capturing once-in-a-lifetime moments, inspiring conversations, and nurturing aspiring artists to reach their highest potential. Their work spans event photoshoots, non-traditional portrait photography, and authentic personal branding, ensuring that every session is a creative sanctuary where artistry, community, and entrepreneurship converge.
The adventure started in Charlotte, North Carolina, where we packed up and hit the road for a scenic drive toward the coast. A road trip always sets the tone for creativity, and this one was no different. By the time we arrived at North Topsail Beach, the salty breeze and calming waves made it the perfect setting for the day ahead.
Before diving into the session, we of course took a moment to ground ourselves with a mini sound bath on the beach. It was a beautiful way to center our energy and set an intention for the shoot — after all, creativity flows best when you’re fully present!
right before the sun started its descent, Corine’s clients arrived and we jumped into capturing their session. The golden hour light painted the sky with breathtaking hues, providing the dreamiest backdrop for their photos. Meanwhile, I was there to assist and capture the behind the scenes of it all, snapping candid moments of Corine in action.
This trip wasn’t just about work—it was about connection. Meeting Corine through Instagram and then getting to witness her talent in real-time was a full-circle moment. The road trip, the ocean breeze, and the shared creative energy made it an unforgettable experience. Here’s to more adventures, more collaborations, and more behind-the-scenes magic!
This experience was a reminder of how much I love documenting creatives in their zone, showcasing the magic that happens beyond the final images.
