Happy Halloween Everyone!!!

Yesterday, I took some time off and went to a pumpkin patch. I got a beautiful medium-size pumpkin and at night I started carving it while watching Heroes which I had Tivo. Yes, I hate comercials.
Well, I’m happy to say that for the first time I have finished carving a pumpkin! Lol. I had a great time doing this and making a mess on my breakfast table. A big Thank you to Favio for helping me draw the hands around the Studio by Carmen logo.
It also gave me the idea to make carved pumpkins one of next year’s contests.
Have a safe and Happy Halloween!!!
If you’re in South Florida be careful with the wind and rain.

Andie’s Bridal Shower!!!

I cannot tell you how impressed I am with all the planning that takes place at bridal showers I have attended, and how lucky I have been to photograph them.

Andie’s Shower was no exception her Bridal Shower took place at her aunt’s beautiful home. The décor was just to die for; the perfect combination of pink and brown made everything look elegant and feminine.
Andie had a crepe station and a beautiful display of cakes and desserts.
I also loved her twist on the make a wedding dress out of toilet paper game. The three participants became runaway brides for the first place price!!!

Andie and I share the same Peruvian nationality and I want to say ‘thank you’ to her and her family for the warm welcome into their home.

Andie, I wish you the best in your upcoming wedding which will no doubt be an incredible event. Enjoy!!!

Angelina First Birthday!!!!

Time sure does fly; it feels like it was yesterday I was covering Gretel’s Baby Shower.
Gretel did an amazing job planning Angelina’s party. She had a jumpy-jumpy, ice cone machine, an older kid station for them to play, cup cakes, gift bags for the kids, a beautiful cake and my personal favorite A COTTON CANDY MACHINE!!!
I have a fascination for cotton candy. Lol!!!

The buffet was full of delish food and after satisfying the appetite, dancing could never be missed on one of Gretel’s parties.
Everyone was so happy at Angelina’s birthday party, but there were also some emotional moments as her grand parents expressed the immeasurable love they feel for her and
Gretel remembered the journey of Angelina’s life ‘til now and the excitement for what’s to come.
Angelina is a little beauty; she was kissing and blowing kisses to all the little boys at the party. Gretel and Angel are going to have to be very vigilant in the future with those boys. Lol!
Enjoy the photos and the last photo is at the end of the party. The party proof to be too much excitement for Angelina; nap time please!!!
Enjoy them!!!

Missy’s Baby Shower!!!

I was so excited when Chrissy, Missy’s sister, asked me to cover her sister’s baby shower.
That was a few months back, so Chrissy and I have been exchanging emails back and forth and had set the date for October 6th. On October 4th Missy writes saying ‘I can’t wait to see you next Saturday!!!!’ As soon as I read that, I was like, ‘NEXT SATURDAY!!!! Not THIS Saturday, in two days??? I rushed to get my appointment book and YES! I got her down for the 6th. Thinking that Missy was mistaken at first, I called Chrissy and asked her if she had changed the date, oh no, she had!!! I was already booked for the 13th, so I offered for Favio to cover the event. After all, not because he is my dear husband, but he was there with me and did an amazing job for Chrissy’s bridal shower and wedding in Punta Cana as well.
Wohoo, Favio saved the day!!!

Missy was kept in the dark about the details of the baby shower, and being the perfectionist that she is, she was having a little trouble with it. Lol. Missy was only told the date and that is all!!! A total surprise!!!!
Chrissy did a great job with the planning starting with the theme which was SWEETS, SWEETS AND MORE SWEETS!!!! You can’t go wrong with that!
Favio had a great time with Missy and her family.
He was so amazed by all the gifts Missy got!!! He reminded me his birthday is coming up soon, lol.

Enjoy the photos!!!
