I love the dynamic range of this shoot. Isabelle did Carmen's make up, and she transformed into a beauty queen haha.

"In this new decade, I look forward to expanding my opportunities to further my career, become a black belt in jiu jitsu, and grow in my relationships."

I bought some new props, and Carmen was the first to use them! Carmen's 30th Birthday ShootBridgeport, CT

I absolutely LOVE this set of photos. They're my favorite. Super elegant and then super fun. Carmen is BEAUTIFUL! Carmen's 30th Birthday ShootBridgeport, CT

Then we tapped into some Ariana Grande vibes and got a little more casual. No idea who Carmen is pretending to talk to, but she looked cute doing it :) Carmen's 30th Birthday ShootBridgeport, CT

"My proudest achievement was going to a different state not knowing anyone far away from home for almost 5 years to pursue architecture. I finished strong, worked in the field and decided to come back home to be closer to family where I am now and very happy!"

"Can you take a close up shot of me? I want to remember how my face looked at 30." Of course, Carmen! I should probably start doing this for everyone. Carmen's 30th Birthday ShootBridgeport, CT

Lastly, Carmen changed into her Jiu Jitsu uniform. She has been doing Jiu Jitsu for 3 years. Love it!

"I played sports my whole life and then seasons ended. Then, I found jiujitsu which has become a big part of who I am. When I struggle with personal issues or life in general, I train and it helps to remind me that you have to keep fighting."

"No matter how many times life knocks you down, it isn’t over. Every time you fall you grow. Jiu Jitsu keeps me grounded to keep growing in every aspect of life."
-Carmen

Happy 30th birthday, Carmen!! God bless you :)
