August 7, 2023

Mili’s dress was a secret until the very last second. She had even taken her pre-session in another dress. Monarch Butterflies were embroidered on black with gold swirls and crystals and a train of black ruffles when Her dress was made by the same designer that created outfits for Jenny Rivera: Adan Terriquez

Her mom got her dressed and tears fell when Daddy saw her. Her friends cheered as she exited the house.

Mili celebrated Mass with her closest family and her godparents were by her side. Then the celebration began. She danced with her court and her parents. Her last toy was a Teddy Bear. Her surprise gift left her stunned. It was a trip to Disney World!

Brandview Ballroom /L.A Banquets / Sweet 16

July 24, 2023

Alexandra celebrated her Sweet 16 at Glendale’s beautiful Brandview Ballroom. We began the celebration weeks before by taking her portraits at Pasadena City Hall. Her dress had an epic long train that trailed on the staircase.

Yellow, white, and gold decorated her reception. Her two best friends helped her get dressed. Outside, her grandparents patiently waited to see her. She tapped them on the shoulders and they turned to see her. They held back happy tears as they hugged her.

A small religious ceremony was held with the closest family. Then, the party began. Alexandra danced with her father in a cloud of smoke and with her court. Her waltz included her being lifted up, and dancing with wine glasses. Her surprise dance ended and her family and friends crowded on a dance floor to take a group photo. A robot came and danced with the guests. Alexandra changed into a shorter dress and tennis shoes and cut her cake!

July 8, 2023

Mahani is generous, loving and talented. She’s a sweetheart with an incredible memory. Even though, Mahani is worth celebrating everyday, her 16th birthday is a milestone that her family is blessed to be able to share with her.

She brightens up every room that she walks into. She’s the life of the party and makes sure that everyone is included. She takes pride in everything she does and ensures she gives it 100%. She loves to connect to her Puerto Rican Roots, whether in the kitchen cooking family recipes or singing and dancing to music.

Mahani participated in a pageant, “Juguetes Por Sonrisas Honduras.” This nonprofit organization services underprivileged children worldwide. Mahani spent many hours at the refugee camps at the borders, providing food clothing and toys as well as interacting, playing games, and having comforting conversations with the children. She’s the current ambassador for the nonprofit.

Mahani’s mom wishes her health, happiness, peace, understanding, wealth, love, and fulfillment. She deserves everything her heart desires and more.

Fiesta Mexicana Banquet Hall Quinceañera/ Emma

June 25, 2023

Emma is described by her parents as kind, fearless, and faithful. It was her family’s dream to celebrate her Quinceañera and confirm her Catholic Faith. Her parents hope that she always has the courage to go after her dreams. They want to see her graduate from high school and college. The pray that God will always guide her and keep her safe.

Emma started her Quinceañera by doing a first look with her dad. She walked the halls of St. Paul’s Catholic Church in Chino, grabbed his hand, hugged him, and laughed. The chapel at the church would fill to capacity with family. The celebration would continue at Fiesta Mexican Hall. Cousins who came out of state joined her on the dance floor for her waltz. Tears would fall when Emma danced with her grandfather in spirit. Then once again the laughter began as Emma posed with the knives at her cake. Her family and friends joined for a group picture and the dancing began filled with light sticks.
