a girl who wishes for the world

The gorgeous girl in this post is named Carmen. She is a senior in high school, and she is pretty fabulous. Carmen contacted me after seeing her family friend Garland's photos that I had done. She informed that she wanted senior photos that were different than the typical ones, with sort of a Marilyn Monroe theme.

I was thrilled at the idea, and I knew at once where we should do the shoot: The Colcord Hotel in downtown Oklahoma City. But first, we did a few outdoor shots...



{Isn't she stunning?}


{The tattoo on her shoulder is her birth date, in roman numerals. So awesome.}



After an outfit change, we switched to a more glamorous look.
