Hi YALL! In Fort Worth, we have Christmas, then New Years and then RODEO! So unless you are deathly allergic to horses, long horns, and other majestic creatures, if you live in Fort Worth you know what a big deal this! So Like any good Fort-Worthian I wrangled some Models and took them to the stockshow! We had a blast, even though it was easily 36 degrees outside. ALSO:  I would  like to unofficially introduce two of my 2017 models: their official introduction coming soon in February. BIG thanks to Lo Jewels for the lovely jewelry for our shoot! Her pieces are perfect for your everyday look, special occasions and RODEO of course!  Enjoy images from our shoot! XO Carmen  

To help me do New Years Eve right I called up my girl Maddie to have a little in studio fun! We decided to do a multi-outfit theme since new years only comes once a year (thank goodness) and there were just too many fun options! Enjoy the bliss and happy new year 🙂 be safe, dance a little & have tons of fun! XO-Carmen

My favorite thing about being a photographer is the styled photoshoots! I get to conceptualize, story board and sketch all my ideas, many times in the middle of the night, and then watch them come to life. My inspirations for this shoot include: Great Britain, Downton Abby, Ralph Lauren, Tea Parties and Christmas. I threw in the mood board so you could see the shoot from the beginning stages. ////////////// Hair and Makeup by Chelsea Rae at Salons of Volterra, Trophy cups from Off the Cape Vintage, Dresses by Alice and Olivia, military jackets by Ralph by Ralph Lauren and Free People. Accessories are personal items and by Anthropologie. And of course styled and propped by Carmen.

I can remember every fourth of July EVERRRR…. but really it is one of my all time favorite holidays! There is nothing like a swimming pool or boat full of friends… add sparklers and a light show and you have made my summer! Enjoy a little fourth of July inspired shoot with my models, Maddie, Alexandra and Sammi. XOXO Carmen
