Double Tree Torrance: Sweet 16: Victoria

November 5, 2022

Victoria is humble, kind and thoughtful. When she was born, her parents were both scared and excited, but she ended up being everything her mom could have imagined. She is the only daughter, granddaughter, great granddaughter and niece in the family. She is her mom’s best friend. She means the world to everyone.

Of course, her sixteenth birthday had to be celebrated!!! Her aunt Michelle wanted something epic for her Formal Session. We went out to Palm Springs and with windmills and white sand Victoria gave us images that reflected her beauty and uniqueness. The party had already begun.

Victoria surrounded herself with family and friends who loved her. Her brother, cousins and friends from school made up her court of talented dancers. She did First Looks with them and of course, her dad. She opened the dance floor by dancing with her dad, but also danced with her grandfathers, who could not contain their smiles as they twirled her around the dance floor. This was a celebration of family and family traditions. It was a beautiful day for a beautiful young lady.

Sky View Event Center: Jurupa: Sweet 16: Natalie

July 25, 2022

Her mom and Nina helped get Natalie into her beautiful pink dress. She walked down the stairs and her dad turned to see her. 16 years ago, she had been born on a very memorable Father’s Day. In just a few hours, daddy would be changing her Converse High Tops to Heels and dancing with her.

Natalie not only danced with her dad, but with mom, little brother, Nino and both of her grandparents. Then she danced a spectacular Waltz and fun Surprise dance. All of her family and friends gathered on the Dance floor for a group photo. As the last picture was taken, robots from La Hora Loca walked in throwing balloons and the dance floor was open!

We had already taken Natalie’s Formals a month before in Pasadena. This allowed us to use her pictures for a guestbook and for pictures at her reception and of course for a calmer day. There are a few below, but you can see her session here.

Mass was said at the Hall

Pasadena City Hall/ Quinceañera Photography/ Natalie

June 4, 2022

Her positivity is contagious. In seconds, you are sharing smiles and laughter. Natalie is kind hearted, hardworking, dedicated and loving. She is very authentic in her personality and very artistic. She is a dancer who started learning discipline and commitment at the young age of four. Tap, jazz and lyrical have been her greatest passions, along with drawing and singing.
Natalie was born on the most memorable Father’s Day her daddy would ever have. She was his greatest gift and in seconds had her family wrapped around her little fingers.

In the future, Natalie would love to use her artistic skills to be a creative director, an animator or a digital artist. Whatever, she chooses, she will continue to make the world smile.

Claremont Colleges: Quinceañera Photography: Leila

April 29, 2022

Leila is a beautiful young lady who is funny and talented. She sings through the days without letting the petty things bother her. She is a genuine dog lover and goes crazy for them, anywhere she spots them. She is a talented baker and keeps her family happy!

Leila’s parents have always found it important to share both her African American and Mexican Heritage. Having a Quinceañera is a way to celebrate the importance of tradition and family. This is a milestone birthday in the Mexican Culture. They know that God has entrusted them as her protectors and want her to remember that they love her. This transition of childhood to becoming a young lady is a beautiful thing. It is their hope that Leila continues to be the responsible young lady continuing to make good decisions along life’s journey.

Embassy Suites Downey: Quinceañera Photography: Belle

April 25, 2022

Belle. It means beautiful in French. She lives up to her name. She has the sweetest soul and has the happiest heart. She rocks an extra chromosome and is an amazing example for the Downs Syndrome Community.

Belle’s emotions over took her in church as she was giving the Virgin Mary flowers. She cried. Mom wiped her tears and the priest hugged her. She bravely stepped outside the church and took pictures by herself before being joined by crowds fo people who loved her. She happily took pictures with her court and with the family she loved so much and then it was off to her party.

She loved the toast her mom gave and when she danced with her, she cried again. It would be during her surprise dance where she would let all of her joy come through.

We had already captured Belle’s Formals on a separate day, allowing us to concentrate on family. Below are some of her pictures. You can see more here: BELLE
