California Quinceañera Photography: Trinity

July 18, 2025

Her parents’ thoughts…..

Trinity is loving, creative, and wise beyond her years. Our sweet rainbow baby, she carries the spirit of an old soul—kind, thoughtful, and full of warmth. Even as she turns just 15, there’s something beautifully spiritual about her, as if she sees the world through a deeper lens.

She’s a modern Chicana with a heart rooted in the ’90s—confident, proud, and brimming with personality. Trinity has a special love for lowriders, old-school music, and vintage fashion. Her style is unmistakably her own, and she wears it with pride and grace, honoring the past while making it fresh and new.

Since she was little, Trinity has dreamed of having a quinceañera. For her, it’s more than just a celebration—it’s a meaningful tradition, one she honors deeply. She’s always loved the spotlight, always imagined feeling like a princess for a day—but she never loses sight of the heritage and heart behind it.

Smart, determined, and endlessly imaginative, Trinity is a thinker, a doer, and a true original. She shines on the softball field with her team-first spirit, always lifting others up and leading with heart.

Off the field, her passions run just as deep. Trinity has a gift for fashion, makeup, and hair—a creative eye that’s all her own. She dreams of becoming a makeup artist and working in fashion design, and there’s no doubt she has the talent and drive to make it happen.

Whatever path she chooses, we’ll be there—cheering her on with love and pride. Trinity is truly one of a kind, and we feel endlessly blessed to call her ours.

California Quinceañera Photography: The Palazzo: Ellie

June 25, 2025

Mom’s words…..

“Ellie can be described in three words: funny, loving, and self-driven. She is a kind-hearted and thoughtful young lady who always thinks of others and loves to make new friends wherever she goes.

One of the things that makes Ellie so special is her genuine joy in connecting with people and spreading kindness. She has a warm spirit that brings people together and a smile that lights up any room.

Ellie’s passions keep her beautifully busy. She loves to dance Ballet Folklorico, a tradition she has embraced since she was eight years old. She also enjoys singing, watching Broadway musicals, and doing crafts — all ways she expresses her creativity and love for the performing arts.

We chose to celebrate Ellie’s quinceañera not only because she wished to experience this meaningful cultural tradition, but because, as her parents, we felt she deserved to be honored in a special way. Ellie has worked hard to be an honor roll student and was selected to join two Varsity Choirs as a freshman — an achievement that requires dedication, long days, and weekends filled with practice and performances.

Her commitment continues as she looks forward to singing with the elite Varsity Madrigals Choir and participating in advanced theatre in her sophomore year. To make all this possible, Ellie even chose to attend summer school to complete a 10th-grade required course early — showing maturity and responsibility beyond her years.

For us, her quinceañera is so much more than a party — it is our way to celebrate the amazing daughter she is, the sacrifices she makes for her dreams, and the remarkable young woman she is becoming.”

This beautiful Quinceañera pre-session was taken at the Palazzo by Khoshbin in Costa Mesa. Permit required.
