Get a load of this beauty and former dancer who was in my studio before the holidays! My favorite thing is to get someone in front of my camera and watch them slowly reveal themselves and let their inner light shine. It’s the kind of light that fills the room and is contagious as it washes all over everyone else. This woman is so incredibly confident and intelligent and super passionate about her work as a healthcare provider. She is the mom of a sassy little girl that she adores. You should see the way Carmen’s eyes light up when she talks about her little one or sees her. She is a funny woman with a sense of humor that finds its way out when she is feeling at ease and she has a smile that is just as contagious as her inner light. A smile comes from deep within and is felt with her whole being. Carmen adores and honors her husband and her whole family and always thinks about them in every way. When we planned her session we made sure to incorporate her family because she values photographs and knows how important it is to exist in photos.

Carmen is a Physician’s Assistant at Valley Medical Arts Clinic in McAllen with her husband Dr. Joel Solis. She often talked about her incredible staff and support she receives from them to help her keep a life work balance. They have had quite the year as they have been fighting the pandemic and running successful clinical trials on vaccines and treatment protocols. She is very knowledgeable about this virus and I consider her an expert. They certainly have no shortage of patients as they are quickly becoming known as the local experts.

I am honored to know her and have gained a new friend! Here’s to wishing she and her family get a vacation very soon!
