One of the perks of being a model for Love Carmen Rose is being photographed a lot! Whenever I get the itch to go exploring or to create an image based on a new concept I call up one of my models for a photo-adventure! For this shoot I called Lauren, one of my lovely Love Carmen Rose 2015 models, and described the shoot to her and what I wanted to do. I think she was just as excited about the concept as I was. Our vision was whimsy-adventure, contemporary and feminine, strong and ladylike. Our final product made Lauren look like a modern Indian princess. I’m sure she felt that way too by the end of our road trip; during the shoot we jumped fences, crawled under them, hiked down into a quarry and found a HUGE tarantula! The gold body art on Lauren’s foot, arms, hands and face are temporary tattoos; you can order them here. I strongly recommend incorporating them into a portion of your Senior Portraits! And our hair and makeup was by Elizabeth Wiggins. XO Carmen
