I felt like we were walking around with a princess when Zack and I took Leila’s Balboa Park Quinceanera portraits! Not only was this teen beautiful on the outside, but she was beautiful on the inside too! Zack and I were thrilled to discover that her entire family was also an absolute joy! It’s no surprise that Leila and her sister are so confident, respectful, and easy going since their parents are truly lovely people.
Leila is a performance artist and has been a cast member of “The Grinch” in Balboa Park each year. So it was no surprise that she was thrilled to take some of her portraits at the Old Globe Theater. Zack was even able to borrow a stuffed Grinch for her to hold! This session couldn’t have been more perfect. What a blessing that the trees were blooming pink as well!
Shooting a Balboa Park Quinceanera session is just plain fun! The park is just like a dreamy kingdom with it’s ornate buildings and manicured gardens. This is always my go to locations when I have a beautiful girl in a stunning dress. I just need to make sure there are no other major events in the park with this calendar. Some of my other favorite sessions here in the park display the beauty of Balboa park as well. On my blog you can see Paulina, Sienna, and Mel looking just like fairytale princesses in different locations in the park. I just can’t decide if I love the Organ Pavilion, the Alcazar Gardens, the Old Globe Courtyard by the Museum of Us, or the Prado the most. The park offers so much diversity!
The Organ Pavilion is the PERFECT location to show off a beautiful girl in a stunning dress!
Adding family to your quinceanera portraits is truly a must! Parents have given so much to their daughter their entire life and they should be honored.
I loved the detail in Leila’s dress!
The bridge between the Organ Pavilion and the Alcazar Gardens looks so enchanted!
The Museum of Us has so much detail in it’s facade! I came here OFTEN as a child and so many memories come back for me when I am here.
The courtyard between the Museum of Us and the Old Globe has so many beautiful places to shoot. In the Spring the trees are filled with pink blossoms as well!
Where else can you find a view like this!?
Leila has been cast in “The Grinch” for five years! What an accomplishment!
The Alcazar Garden is tricky to shoot in because it can be very crowded. The later it is in the day…the less people.
Just behind the Prado’s ballroom is a courtyard with beautifyl arches. This is a great location to shoot becasue it has near perfect light and very few people.
What better place to put a princess than by a wishing well?! There are often beautiful weddings here at the Prado.
