Hello Friends, I’m feeling in the Christmas Spirit! All I want is a fire place, some hot cocoa with a candy cane, whipped cream and then I am a happy camper! 🙂 A little Bing Crosby wouldn’t hurt either. Enjoy my Christmas themed shoot with  my sweet 2015 Models: Ellie and Julianna, and don’t forget to apply to be a model, I will start to review the applications in the new year. XOXO Carmen  

When I get a creative client I just explode with excitement! I was totally in the zone for this photo shoot. I cannot tell you how much fun it was. Kimberly from Off the Cape, an authentic Cape Cod style home and decor online store, rang me up and had the most brilliant idea for her sweet family’s Christmas card, I actually waited to post this until she had licked the very last of the post stamps.

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.
