Quinceañera Photography: California: Leilani

October 9, 2025

Leilani is described by her family as loving, friendly and determined. She is someone who puts her heart into everything she does. She always pushes herself to do her best. Leilani is kind to everyone she meets and is family-oriented. If you ever need someone to cheer you up or just need someone to talk to, Leilani is your girl!

In the future, she wants to be a neonatal pediatrician

Leilani chose to celebrate her 15th birthday by taking pictures with her family, grandparents, aunt, and cousin. She did a first look with those closest to her. It will be a small celebration, but she still had her princess moment.

Quinceañera Photography: Claremont: Karina

October 2, 2025

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 MartinezReplyCancel

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.
