Carmen

Carmen is one of those people who is simply beautiful on both the inside and the outside. You may recognize her from some of their family pictures I have on my website.

I always enjoy spending time with her. Not only is she a sister to a dear friend of mine, she’s also a fabulous photographer…so we always have lots of talking to do! (My apologies to her husband John for the rather *ahem* varied topics we covered during this session!). It’s always a neat opportunity to work with another photographer who knows what looks good from my end of the lens. Combine that with her modeling experience when she was a teenager, and you’ve got a dynamite session with someone who knows her way around both ends of the camera.

Thanks so much Carmen, it was great to see you and your family again! Sending you warm wishes for a smooth last few weeks of your pregnancy. I can’t wait to meet your new little bundle of joy. :)

PS A big thank you to everyone who popped in on my previous post and said hi! It was so nice to ‘meet’ you all!

Here’s a few of my faves from the session…doesn’t she look amazing?:

And a bunch of black and whites, as I know Carmen is a huge fan of B&W photography, and I think these images lend themselves perfectly to a nice crisp B&W:

Not only are they totally in love, aren’t they a gorgeous couple?

    These are amazing! My favorite is the texture - love her pose, the comp and of course the texture you used! Everyone should have one of those fur-lined hooded coats (I don’t).
