Bad Blogger but with good reason!!!

I know it's not an excuse, but I have been incredibly busy with weddings and boudoirs!!! Yes, it is February so imagine all the ladies that have contacted me at the last minute wanting to give their significant other a very sexy surprise. I am happy to see that not only brides to be are doing the sessions but also my Sexy Mrs and mommies!!!
See, that’s why I have being a bad blogger.
Thank you so much for the emails asking me if I am ok. I LOVE YOU my blog stalkers!!! Lol.

I also wanted to please ask you 2 little things. Please book with time if you would like me to be at your event. I get booked a year in advance for wedding and at least 3 months in advance for smaller events and portraits. Also, I wanted to ask you to please give me credit on the photo if you are going to use my photos on any public board, your own website, facebook, or in any internet site. I try to do the best job I can for every session and it’s just nice to be given credit on the photos.I am now including with the sessions, low resolution photos with my website address on them for internet use.

Now I leave you with an update on Baby Jonathan, whom i've been following his first year after his wonderful mommy, Mirielle, hired me to capture such an important part of his life.
Look at that face! Isn't he delicious? C you soon!!!

Well back to work!!!
I have a wonderful announcement on the 9th so stay tune. I really think you are going to LOVE it!!!!!
Have a great night everyone!!!
Xoxo

Happy Halloween Everyone!!!!!

What better blog to show you not scary, but the most adorable babies EVER!!!!
These are Studio by Carmen Babies!!! There are a lot of them missing, because this session was a last minute shoot I decided to offer my past clients as a thank you for choosing me to be their photographer. A special thank you is in order to Melanie for organizing this session in only a couple of days and during the week!!!! YOU ROCK GIRL!!!!

It was great to see all my beautiful babies and catching up on how everyone’s doing. I may not have my nephews or niece close to me, but this is the next best feeling by seeing them grow, pinch their cheeks and those gorgeous eyes!!!! ADORABLE!!!!!
Having babies truly changes your life for the better; it may be challenging at time, but not being able to remember life without them is true love.

Like I said, this session was organized in a matter or days, so if you have had a session with me, either a maternity or baby session and would like to receive info about our next Get Together/Session send an email at: info@studiobycarmen.com

Thank you ladies for entrusting me with your precious babies and I hope to see you all really soon!!!
Xoxo,

Sophia

Carlee

Proud Auntie Carmen!!!

My brothers are always making me look bad in front of my parents!!! Lol.
My older brother already has 2 baby boys and now my other brother has a baby girl to brag about, she is a little angel ;) Well, I have Bella, my beautiful furbaby, (sticking my tong at them!)
My parents hadn’t had a chance to meet baby Audrey and at 4 months, and knowing how fast babies grow, my brother decided to take a trip to Miami from the West coast and surprise my parents.
They were only here 2 days, but my parents loved meeting and playing with her. I was fully committed both days but I was able to go to breakfast with them on one of the days they were here and quickly snatch a few photos when they finished changing her pamper. Lol.
I can’t wait to see her again in December. I can’t believe she will be 7 months!!!
She looks like our side of the family :) and her eyes remind me of princess Jasmine from Disney!!!
Isn’t she beautiful!!!

Happy Father's Day!!!

I hope all of you are having a terrific day. The weather was just perfect for a BBQ today for sure. I am about to have dinner with my parents, but I wanted to say Happy Father's Day to my big brothers Felix and Alfredo. Felix lives in New Hampshire and just had his second son a few months back. He is a pro at parenthood now and I couldn't be more proud. I get a smile on my face everytime he tells me all the places he takes my nephews on the weekends. It's great to see that fatherhood has not changed their love for the outdoors; lots of credit to my sister in-law for that too.

Also Happy Father's Day to my brother Alfredo who just became a dad in April!!!! Audrey is so adorable and I loved holding her in my arms. She is tiny and looks exactly like my mom now which is super cute and freaky (in a good way) Lol!!!

Keep on enjoying your evening. I am about to pour me a Bailey's on the rocks. Cheers!!!

Happy Mother's Day!!!

I hope everybody had a wonderful Mother’s Day!!!

I started my morning shooting an engagement session for my beautiful couple Indira and Ernesto; did a little bit of shopping and headed to my mom’s house to celebrate her day!

Happy Mother’s Day to all the mom’s and mom’s-to-be that I have had the pleasure to photograph and that I will be photographing in the months to come!!!
Special hug and kisses to my mom (who got lots of those today), mother in law, sisters in-law, cousins and aunties.

I leave you with a teaser from one of my latest maternity sessions. Perfect for today, don’t you think?
Shawna, she looks ADORABLE!!!

Opening for a fun couple in love!

I know it's kind of last notice, but I am finally dragging Favio to the Miami Dade Fair Saturday night or Sunday afternoon and I would love to photograph a fun couple.
I wanted to schedule some sessions at the fair this year, but I have been incredible busy.
The Fair ends on Sunday, and as a part of my B-Day celebration I really don’t want to miss it, especially for the food (Yeah, I am a sucker for cotton candy and elephant ears, Lol). If you are interested send me an email at info@studiobycarmen.com with your phone number for more details.
What better excuse than to go to the fair for a fun photo session? Lots of rides and yummy treats!!!

I will be enjoying cotton candy like this beautiful little girl at her birthday party!!!

Who are these GORGEOUS babies???

Exciting news for Studio by Carmen!!!

A very good friend of mine Karla has just opened up a baby boutique in the South Miami area and she has asked me to be the official photographer for her store and clients.

The name of the store is 'Mommy Please' and it's located across from the Shops at Sunset Place at 1561 Sunset Drive.

I could not have been more excited to hear the news and I hope you visit her store as she has the most beautiful and exclusive items for babies to 6 yr olds.
Ladies she will have those, oh so cute leggings for your little ones.

Here are some sneak picks and more details to come as I will do a whole story when Karla gets ready to celebrate the official grand opening in a week or two.

The first photo is the place where I will be exhibiting my photos. I will change them on a regular basis, so if you are the mommy of one of those beautiful cutie pies, please contact me, as you will be able to purchase those photos at a very good price.
The next two products are one of the most popular items in the few days the store has been open. A diaper cake which is a wonderful gift for a baby shower and a floral bouquet that contains baby clothes arranged in a very unique way. I couldn't believe it when she showed it to me!
Talk about inventive!!!

Well my friends stay tune!!!

Introducing Baby Lukas!!!!!

On Saturday, I had the pleasure to meet and photograph baby Lukas. Alexandra and Jorge had waited for the moment of his arrival for a very long time and while they waited they prepared a beautiful room, scrapbooks and even a beautiful birth story leading to Lukas’s birth.

Lukas was a very good boy, except for a couple of tinkles in his dad’s arms, while I was photographing him. Lol.
Without a doubt Lukas is a very lucky baby, who is going to grow in a beautiful home with love all around him.

Thank you guys for welcoming me back to your home and congratulations again on such a beautiful little angel. It was great to be able to witness and photograph such tender moments shared as a family.

Hugs!

Baby Mateo!!!

I don’t have favorites when it comes to the beautiful babies I have photographed, but I must say that Mateo holds a special place in my heart. I have been photographing him since he was in his mom’s tummy.
As always it was a pleasure photographing him again. It was clear that baby Mateo wanted to get his way on this session and only wanted to be either in mommy or daddy’s arms, so I just had to say, your wish is my command, and he was a happy camper.

Enjoy!!!

Introducing Baby Elena!!!

One of the sweetest and most beautiful babies ever!!!
I was just in heaven photographing little Elena. It’s was a pleasure meeting Elena’s parents Tony and Paula; and I cannot forget her beautiful grandmother Cionin, who reminded me so much of my mom.

Thank you Paula and Tony for selecting me to take these photos of your little angel Elena.
I can’t wait to see you guys again.
Enjoy!!!

The first one was done all by her and the title is of course:
ONE MILLION DOLLARS!!!! LOL!!!!

Baby Brynn’s Slideshow!!!

Happy Monday everyone!!!

I am so happy that I can finally show you baby Brynn’s slideshow.
It has been an amazing experience getting to know her at such a tender age and I being able to capture these photographs that no doubt her and her family will enjoy for years to come.
Thank you Erica and Jarret for inviting me into your home and trusting me with your little cutie pie.
I hope you love the slideshow as much as I do.

I am going to warn you the slideshow is a little bit long, but I just didn’t want to leave many photos out. What can I say, Brynn is just too adorable.

Enjoy!!!

If you would like to see a bigger version of the slideshow, please click on the link below.

Note: If you encounter a problem with the slideshow zooming into the first image, it has to do with a sound card problem in your computer. Please try it again on an updated OS or driver updated computer.

Beautiful Baby Brynn!!!

Hi everyone, sorry I haven’t blogged in a little while, but I have been soooo busy.
This time I wanted to share with you more photos of baby Brynn.
I finished editing all her photos and these are more of my favorites.
Look for the slideshow by the end of the week!!!
Enjoy!

Introducing Baby Carlee!!!

First I would like to say: What a beautiful name! I may be a bit bias, because my name starts with the same 3 letters, but hey! I love it!!!
Baby Carlee is a tiny cutie pie and with a lot of personality. She loves to be held by mommy Tania and daddy Tedwin and she was very alert throughout the entire session.
They were going to grandma’s house afterwards; I wonder if she then slept throughout the whole afternoon. Lol.
It was great meeting and talking to you guys.
I can’t wait to see you all again!!!

Justine you have great friends and they make a beautiful family.

Introducing Baby Mateo!!!

I have been waiting to meet baby Mateo since I photographed his parents Natalie and Enrique’s maternity portraits.
Here is the link to the slide show:

Natalie and Rick Maternity Slideshow

The wait was sure worth while. Let me tell you a little bit about baby Mateo.
He is big (bless her mom), has a lot of hair and had the most beautiful cheeks ever!

Natalie and Enrique are enjoying every second of their baby boy. Soon I will be back for family photos.
Thank you guys for making me feel so welcomed in your beautiful home.
Enjoy!!!

What a wonderful weekend!!!

I had an incredible weekend, meeting up with three beautiful babies.
First stop was sweet baby Brynn. It has been a pleasure to photograph her and to be able to share time with her parents Erica and Jarred.
Her furbaby brother Oliver and I are buddies now. He reminds me a lot of my brother’s Shih-tzu, Motita.
Erica sent out 2 of the pictures I had taken of Brynn to tinyprints for Brynn’s birth announcements. They truly came out awesome!!! Erica gave me one, so I am going to take a photo of it and published on a later date (minus the personal information.)
Here are some of my favorite photos of the day.
Enjoy!

Happy Father's Day!!!

A special Father’s Day hugs and kisses to my dad and my brother Felix, who will become a dad for the second time in about 2 weeks.
Woohooo!!! I’m going to be an aunt again!
I love you both!!! Mua!

A few weeks ago I photographed Angelina’s Baptism and as I was talking to her mom, Gretel, last night; I thought it would be a great idea to have the slideshow ready today, as a Father’s Day gift for Angel, Angelina’s dad.

Unfortunately, we were pressed in time and it had rain so much the night before that all the gardens and paths were flooded. There was even water inside of the chapel, but that’s just an reason to go back and have more portraits done.

I hope both of you enjoy it!!!
Love ya!

Attention Everyone, Baby Brynn Has Arrived!!!

Babies are so precious!!!!
I simply loved meeting baby Brynn today. She is such an adorable baby and just a little angel to work with.
I also spend some time meeting her proud parents Erica and Jarret. Oh! and I almost forgot about her furbaby brother Oliver. He was adorable as well!!!

Enjoy!!!

Angelina's Baptism

Last Sunday I photographed baby Angelina’s baptism. It was a great to meet her, after having photographed her mom Gretel’s maternity photos last year.
Baby Angelina is so beautiful and such a good baby.
She did fell asleep right before the priest Baptist her and was awakened by the water on her head.
I will soon publish more of my favorite photos.
