Hi, I'm carmen
or the past several years, I’ve been photographing professionally in the western suburbs of Chicago and I’ve had the honor of working with so many amazing families.

I cannot say enough good things about Carmen! She has been photographing our family for the past four years, and her 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.
