Hello and welcome to Carmen.photo. I’m glad you stopped by.
I am Carmen, a professional photographer based in Zurich. As a professional woman and a mother of two, I know how quickly time flies, and I seek to capture precious moments to be cherished as long-lasting memories.
I specialize in Personal Branding and Family/children portraits and love to tell a story through my photos about the people I meet and the places I visit.
Many people have the common misconception that they can no longer look handsome or beautiful with a bit of extra weight, one or two wrinkles, or maybe a few strands of grey hair. These slight “imperfections” don’t make you seem any less attractive or memorable, on the contrary- wrinkles mean you’ve laughed, grey hair means you’ve cared and scars mean you’ve lived.
My job as a photographer is not only to bring out your beauty, but the stories and memories you’ve lived through.
I can’t wait to capture YOUR own personality and precious moments through photography.

Personal branding
Personal branding goes beyond a simple headshot, but rather, it delivers an entire reflection of you, and what you stand for. While any photographer can take a headshot, it takes a specialist to capture meaningful brand imagery.
That’s where I can help you.
In today’s world, your digital presence is prominent. It takes people less than a second to form an opinion of you, and your photo is the first thing they see.
I’m an experienced brand portrait photographer who can help you expand your business presence through personal branding photo shoots, taking your demands and desires into account, and delivering images that truly represent YOU.

First birthday sessions
When should you book a First Birthday session?
It’s best to schedule the photo session when the child is between 11- 14 months old.
What will the First Birthday Session look like?
STUDIO PORTRAITS OF YOUR CHILD: First, we will have some photos with your baby dressed in festive clothes, on his/her own and together with you, the parents (and siblings, if there are any).
CHILD AT PLAY – CAKE SMASH : Then the FUN begins! The baby can do whatever she/ he wants: taste the cake, play with it, and even SMASH the cake.
Every child is different and the joy is in capturing his/her unique ways of celebrating a special life moment, to cherish for years to come. And don’t worry about the baby eating too much sugar—most kids are too busy playing to eat too much!


Family and children
I will Capture Memories that will Live On Throughout The Generations and put a smile on your family´s faces whenever they see them!
Whether you’re a new family of three, recently added a new member or are simply savoring this amazing time in your children’s lives, any time is a perfect one for a portrait session. As the expression goes, “the days are long, but the years short”—time goes by so quickly and it’s essential that parents capture these beautiful moments before they’re gone.
Many families even opt for multiple photo shoots in a year!
If You Think That Getting A Photo With Your Family And Children Is Stressful, Hard To Organize, Or Even Inconvenient, Forget It!
I know how stressful it can be to get a family portrait done, but it doesn’t have to be that way!
I’ve been doing this for a long time, kids showing off a little attitude, smiling wide, or getting giggly…
It is normal! And it’s not something to be worried about, I actually like it, because it means I can capture their true personalities.

Celebrate your femininity
If you have selected this tab, you want to see yourself in a new light. Might 2022 be the year when you reinvent yourself? Or at least smarten your image? Or perhaps you feel something’s amiss. Your children are grown up. Or your relationship feels less vibrant. Or perhaps, it’s something more deep-rooted. At any rate, however you feel, you detect that your sense of identity is less clear, maybe even shifting. It’s both discomfort and an opportunity.

Pets
Professional pet photos are the best way to capture our pet’s unique personality. Our pets are our best buds, workout companions, cheerleaders, cuddle-buddies, entertainers, and therapists.
Pets make our lives better; they show us how to be kind and happy, how to live in the moment.
Sadly, they can’t stick around as long as we’d like them to. Immortalize your furry friends in photos and cherish their presence forever.
