Who I Am
Karla Martinez, 25, is the creative mind behind her business venture called “Betty Bobble”. Her inspiration, dedication, and commitment to share her experiences and fortitude with like-minded individuals are connected to her mother's beautiful teachings. Her hand-made crochet creations are reminders to others of the beauty in life; the integration of details and colorful yarn is her state of bliss. You can find Karla vending locally, styling projects, or designing immersive experiences that celebrate cultural identity for emerging creators in the Austin, Texas area.

“El pleito del Gallo” — photoshoot that celebrates Latino heritage and contemporary style. Inspired by the visual storytelling of photographer Enrique Leyva, focus on deep shadows, vibrant tones, and cinematic composition.
Models natural beauty and strength, styled in a mix of long skirts and lace as well as statement accessories. Think gold jewelry catching sunlight, bold belts, cowboy hats and boots with poses that embody resilience and pride. Ancestral story telling through the lens by @cesar.enriquez__

Blessings on Blessings 💫 reminiscing on this @ad2austin panel board of minority females that run their own buisness and still maintain their respective careers! Let me tell you it is not easy, but if anything was attainable quickly we would all be there. Time and passion must be dedicated to such crafts, asking for help and knowing there is a community to back you up was eye opening 💐 to everyone inspired just know we all face the same challenges but we can all be here for one another!
To more networking events and panel board opportunities 🥂
It was a pleasure to be invited by @yottosphotos and @spotter who hosted a vibrant and welcoming discussion @richesartgallery 🎨🖌️🖼️

Film has this new place in my heart, sometimes a roll takes you months to finish. So many things can change in a matter of days, reflecting on images no longer there is bitter sweet but the beauty behind it all is why I love shooting film! 🎞️
Growth and love can take you anywhere. Catch me around town with my cameras 📸

I’m a firm believer that everyone and everything you encounter is for a reason. Experiences and lessons are the only way to learn, gotta go through it to see through it. These pictures are from March 2024; it’s literally taken me a year to feel like myself again. Here I stand alone but feeling the most content and happiest I have ever been. Now more than ever I am ready to pour into myself and my brand.
It’s okay to feel stagnant it’s okay to not feel worthy, just make sure you constantly pour into yourself and watch your River grow endlessly.
As always thank you to everyone that supports me 🤞🏽🫵🏽🫶🏽 forces me to show them my inventory, goes to my markets, hypes me up, sends me things that reminds them of me ALL of it is appreciated 💘💐
I want my presence to be the most beautiful recollection of myself so that my most beautiful thoughts and feelings may be imprinted in people’s minds and hearts 💐🫂💘 to all those who love me for me I love and appreciate you!!!
Lots of versions of me died throughout the year but what stands is overflowing in abundance
Time is the most important thing and we cannot get it back
Turned that L to a lesson that’s another win 🏆
Thankful for all the doors that closed and opened this year
I think yall get what I’m putting down 😂🫂💫
