Her parents’ words…
“When Karina Lydia Martinez burst into the world, I just knew she’d be a human sparkler, spreading glittery kindness and compassion everywhere. As our second youngest of five siblings, Karina’s super chill vibe really comes alive when she’s sharing her passions and inspiring those around her. This honor student is a total bookworm, and she’s all about becoming a chief financial officer, driven by her unshakeable commitment to honesty and integrity – aka she’s a total straight arrow. Karina’s selfless dedication to volunteer work in school activities and church bible study is basically a masterclass in compassion and devotion to uplifting others. And, fun fact, Karina’s a total Renaissance woman – she sings, knows ASL sign language, and has a black belt in Karate, because, why not? Her love for her family is basically the brightest light in the universe, especially when it comes to her younger brother Junior, who’s Autistic. With humility and simplicity as her superpowers, Karina is basically a superhero, and her dreams of creating lasting, positive change are well within her reach. Karina always radiates brilliance, guided by her unwavering values and passions, and may her future be filled with promise, fulfillment, and joy.”

Edwin & Maria MartinezI would like to take this opportunity to express my sincere gratitude to Jessie Cardenas from The Glam Studio for her exceptional collaboration in creating a stunning photo shoot. Not only did she expertly guide us through the process, but she also helped us find a breathtaking location that perfectly complemented our daughter’s quinceañera dress. As the day of the photo shoot arrived, there were numerous details to attend to, including clothing and accessories, hair, and makeup for the entire family. This experience transcended a traditional Quinceañera photo shoot, evolving into a wonderful family photo shoot. I would like to extend my thanks to Jessie not only for the outstanding photos but also for her thoughtful and caring service, which made the entire experience significantly easier. Her understanding of our vision was impressive. I would also like to express my appreciation to Melissa Quezada, Jessie’s assistant, for her role in creating the perfect setting for incredible photos. She is a talented young lady with a promising future in photography. The turnaround time for receiving the photos was remarkably quick. As a parent, witnessing the photo shoot firsthand, one can imagine the outcome, but the reality exceeded our expectations – the photos were truly breathtaking. We are extremely pleased with the results. Thank you again, and we highly recommend their services for any event. Edwin & Maria Martinez
