Carmen Marie Photographer

Hi, I'm Carmen

"Showing you the back of my camera and watching your face light up — that moment never gets old."

Your senior year is a big deal, and your portraits should feel that way too. I'm here to make the whole experience feel easy, fun, and true to you — from outfit planning to session-day hype and every little detail in between.

I can't wait to create this with you.

— Carmen About Me

Carmen was so fun to work with for my senior picture session! She really took the time to listen to what I wanted and made sure she captured the images I love. She made me feel very relaxed throughout the process — and my pictures came out amazing!

Kendall Kendall — Senior Girl

The weather conditions were not ideal that day but she was easy going and made the session an overall great experience. I truly appreciate her professionalism, creativity and the amount of fun we shared to help capture my son's personality and true smile.

Brayden Brayden's Family — Senior Guy

Carmen's creativity, vision and easy-going personality made our senior session very enjoyable. She was able to make my daughter feel comfortable behind the camera and captured her true personality. We're grateful for these wonderful memories!

McKenna McKenna's Mom — Senior Girl

You not only captured his artistic side, but his funny side, sweet side and his confident side as well. You provided us with more than senior photos — you captured memories of exactly who he was at this time in his life.
