Welcome, I’m Carmen Aguilar, the heart behind Willow Kin Photography. I believe in capturing more than images, I seek to document love, light, and legacy in every story.
Rooted in my faith and guided by grace, my work is an intimate blend of earthy tones and moody light, the quiet moments, the tender glances, the unfolding of real life. Whether you’re celebrating a new season of motherhood, cherishing family bonds, or simply wanting to preserve a meaningful chapter, I’m here to serve.
When you work with me, you’re not just booking a session, you’re partnering in a creative journey rooted in connection, emotion, and heart. Let’s tell your story, together.

"Amazingly WOW! I’m going to begin with Carmen being such a beautiful person inside out Extremely professional and caring. Had a maternity photo session and made me feel so comfortable with by body being a first time new mom. Carmen gave me plenty of breaks to relax my body and cheering me up and reassuring me my photos were going to look amazing! Now I’m looking forward for Carmen to take photos of my newborn soon. Hire her if you haven’t you won’t regret her work!"

She made me feel comfortable during the shoot itself and I ended up having fun during the process. PLUS I got amazing photos that I feel truly represent me. I highly recommend Carmen for your photo needs!!"

"Carmen is Kind, talented and was so wonderful with our family- even our dogs! We are so satisfied with our pictures and the time we spent taking them! We couldn’t have asked for a better experience. We found our person and wish we knew her sooner!"
- Crisne Mañas
"It is with great pleasure that I recommend Carmen! It has been such wonderful experiences (two thus far) getting photographed by Carmen; it started with our newborn/family session that was meticulously, professionally, and very patiently captured. Our son was only 3 weeks old and she took great care of capturing the most precious photos. When he turned 5 months, Carmen held a mother and son session of him and I and they turned out perfect to share on my birthday and I cannot wait to share the rest on Mother's day as motherhood to me has truly been the best gift."
- Delilah Elshalie
