Saturday night Lara celebrated her 18th birthday at the Reef in Long Beach. Lara and her court of 9 couples performed her cotillion dance and continued the long Filipino tradition of the debut and I was privileged to follow her court and her family through the preparations and planning of this huge event. I supplied Lara with a personalized guestbook with pictures of her family and herself in it, a large 22×28 frame for her guests to sign, 2 wonderful slideshows, and personal shoots for all of her events, from rehearsals to portraits. It was a pleasure working with her family this last month and meeting all of her friends. Her court was wickedly cool and I had an incredible time getting to know them and dancing with them.
After the debut we all went back to her house and played Chester’s 3 word game, which if you ever find yourself chillin w/ me, should totally find out how to play. Got home at 5am got a great nights rest after a great days work. Happy Birthday Lara! I hope you love the pictures, here’s a few…
