Madai's Quinceañera

Madai 15th birthday was a beautiful event. I began by taking pictures of her purple dress in her purple room.


Madai loves purple!


Her mother laced up her dress and her sister helped her into her shoes.






















We then went to Palomares Park. Madai's father is the pastor of Victory Outreach. He officiated the ceremony, along with other pastors.



Madai's friends each presented her with a rose and a verse from the BIble.



Pastor Zesati sermon stressed that every life had a purpose in this world. He said that his daughter's birth fifteen years ago had been a blessing. His sermon focused on how the young people in the room could succeed.















I took her formals just outside.


























I used creative angels. Some of her pictures were actually taken in an alley.







And even though this looks like a small meadow of trees it was actually trees lined against a sidewalk.








Madai and her loving family were a pleasure to photograph.
