My husband and I welcomed our first baby and took her to Carmen for newborn and announcement photos. She took beautiful photos of our daughter. She was very patient with her and was able to calm her down to fall sleep at 3 weeks old. She was very resistant to falling sleep and I think any other photographer would not have been able to do it or take as many pictures as Carmen. I would recommend her to anyone and I look forward to working with her again in the future.
