PHOTOGRAPHY
Hi. I’m Carlene, a family, newborn and maternity photographer who has been living and raising a family in Dubai for the past 20 years. My passion for photography started around 15 years ago when my own children were very young and lead to me quitting my career in teaching to become a professional photographer. My style of photography is relaxed, natural, and baby or child-lead. There’s no pressure for anyone to sit perfectly still and smile at the camera. Instead, I work with you, your baby and your children (and animals) to capture authentic, joyful, sometimes chaotic moments that you will look at and think - yes that's us, that's our story.
Carlene is a phenomenal photographer. I was apprehensive doing a newborn photo shoot at all - because I had a specific idea in my mind and not much artistic lisence to describe it. Carlene understood my brief, she managed to work with my tricky toddler and newborn baby to create the most gorgeous photos of them interacting and the sweetest staged photos of my newborn. The final edited photos surpassed my expectations and I am so happy I chose Carlene for this.
"We're so pleased we chose Carlene for our maternity and newborn photos. She was fantastic with the baby and toddler (and dogs). She put us all at ease, as she is so patient and kind and our photos are just perfect. Highly recommend."
Thank you Carlene for capturing our little family so perfectly. The photos were even more beautiful than I had hoped - it made me cry to see them for the first time and now I can't stop looking at them. I'm already planning our next shoot with you.
