I had the pleasure of photographing Emily and her husband for their maternity session, and it was such a joy to bring her inspiration images to life! As a first-time mom, Emily was thrilled to showcase her baby bump and radiated beauty throughout the entire session. Now, she’s the proud mom of a gorgeous little princess.

I had an amazing experience with Carmen during my maternity photoshoot. She was incredibly friendly, patient and attentive to every detail. From the moment I arrived, she made me feel comfortable and at ease. She took the time to understand exactly what I wanted and offered helpful suggestions to make the photos even better. Carmen's professionalism and passion for her work were evident throughout the shoot, and the final results were absolutely stunning. I highly recommend Carmen for any photography needs and can't wait to work with her in the future!

I just want to say Carmen is super personable and very talented at her craft. You can tell that she is passionate about photography by how patient and attentive to detail she is. My newborn was very fussy during the photoshoot and Carmen was very understanding and even helped me soothe my newborn. There are not enough words to describe how amazing each and every photo that Carmen took is. She has a magical way of finding the perfect angle, lighting, and of course expressions. She had so many wonderful props and was able to do so much!! I cried at how wonderful my newborn's photographs came out and I will cherish them forever. I 100% recommend her.

Carmen is great at explaining her process and was very easy to work with. We are over the moon delighted how the pictures turned out! Carmen really captured our baby's personality so well. The cakesmash photoshoot could not have turned out any better. Book with her immediately!

Carmen’s work is simply amazing. Every year, we receive countless compliments on our holiday photos, and people are always in awe that all three of our kids are smiling in every picture. Carmen is professional, kind, and makes every photo shoot so much fun. She brings fresh ideas each year, and I’m always amazed by her creativity. My children genuinely look forward to our sessions with her. Her photos are stunning, timeless, and beautifully capture our family’s special moments. I eagerly anticipate our sessions every year, and I constantly refer people to her because I’m always asked who takes our family photos. It’s truly a joy to see her beautiful work displayed on our walls, reminding us of cherished memories.
