Hi there, I’m Carmen.

I am a wife, mother of two girls, and a birth photographer from the Midwest creating provocative art below the Mason-Dixon line.

I tell courageous tales of birthing folk in their most empowered and vulnerable moment

my own journey to motherhood

I have been overwhelmed with emotions from the moment I purchased a pregnancy test. I thought I wanted my pregnancy to last forever. My days were filled with daydreaming, midwife appointments, yummy food, and hardcore nesting. And then my sweet girl was born. I feel as if I fell in love with a stranger. Learning her was a challenge but loving her came so easy. I am so glad I have these photos to look back on when my children grow up and have families of their own.

Notes from clients:

Carmen is the most fantastic photographer. Every time we look at the photos Carmen took, it takes us right back to the day she took them (you can check out Georgia’s birth story on her site.) DFW is lucky to have her but Waco misses her!

Oh my God! These are amazing! I am crying. You are so talented agh. You can share anything you’d like to! This is beautiful art and I am so honored to be a part of it!

I am literally in tears. You did such an amazing job with my pictures and I cannot thank you enough. I have had massive self confidence issues lately but I look absolutely amazing in these photos. You made me look amazing and fun which is exactly what I wanted.

Carmen, I just wanted to let you know that you did absolutely phenomenal on this styled session. I hope your photog confidence is booming through the roof right now. I’m swooning over every single photo. Your talent is on elite level. So glad I got to work with you.
