About Orange County Headshots Photographer – Lorin Backe
At Orange County Headshots, photography is more than just a profession—it’s a lifelong passion shaped by family heritage, artistry, and decades of experience.
Raised in a family deeply rooted in photography, I was influenced early by my father, who worked as a professional photographer and ran a respected photography supply business in the Midwest. My journey began in a home darkroom as a teenager, where I developed my first images. I went on to major in art and soon after high school, took a job at a professional photography studio in Chicago, refining my skills in a fast-paced environment.
In the late 1970s, I moved to Southern California, where I launched my true professional career. Over the years, I’ve had the privilege of working with some of the world’s top companies, executives, and professionals, delivering high-quality, consistent, and compelling headshots that help them make a lasting impression.
For the past 20 years, my wife, Charmaine Backe, has been my business partner and studio manager, ensuring that every client receives the highest level of service and attention. Together, we’ve built a reputation for exceptional quality, professionalism, and responsiveness—the values that define Orange County Headshots to this day.
