 | "Smooth Operator" -------------------- Annual Competition 2009 AWARD OF EXCELLENCE -------------------- Simple, clean but with an attitude, this portrait was created during a session with his mother and brother. |
 | "Lady in Waiting" -------------------- Annual Competition 2009 AWARD OF EXCELLENCE -------------------- Carmen had a rare opportunity to photograph a woman from early in her pregnancy till the last month. This image combines architecture from a cathedral in France with a portrait created with natural light in Carmen's Phoenixville studio. |
 | "Out of the Mist" ------------------- Annual Competition 2009 AWARD OF EXCELLENCE Carmen fondly and repeatedly comments that where she lives is heaven on earth. The mist appears early many mornings in the late spring. Her neighbor's daughter was game to be on call for an impromptu sunrise portrait session. This portrait was created with Piper the calmest riding horse on the property. |
 | "You're Still the One" ------------------- Annual Competition 2009 AWARD OF EXCELLENCE The portrait session was commissioned by the mother to capture her family before the oldest child left the nest. Taken in early June, the session was almost over when Carmen noticed the setting sun. Their love for each other and their children was clearly evident. |
 | "Rendezvous Point" -------------------- Annual Competition 2009
Frank P. Homer Award Highest Scoring Salon Print AWARD OF EXCELLENCE Carmen toured six French cities summer '08. Her first stop was the town of Chartres, home of the meditative Chartres Cathedral Labyrinth. Near dusk she spotted this eatery but was too intimidated to go inside to eat. |
