Sophia’s dads Fausto and Reuben threw her a traditional Spanish 15th birthday party – known in Latin America and the US as a Quinceañera. The party was held at the showroom at the Maine Mall for Laurie Andrews Design, a florist, event-planner, and rental company.
Is Sophia’s name spelled out in lights not amazing?
Fausto had a special bracelet and earrings for Sophia to wear.
Sophia had a beautiful gown for the party – and her chihuahua Prue had a matching dress!
There were cupcakes, cake and a huge candy bar…
Passed appetizers including Chili in a Doritos bag (a huge hit with everyone)
Mocktails with ice cream and cotton candy floats
And so much candy – and ring pops!
There were formal dances with Sophia’s dads and her grandfather
And then dancing with her friends; lounging with attitude; and whatever Cameron is doing
When you party in a florist and rental showroom, every wall is a cool backdrop!
Sophia blew out her candles with a little help…
And then – cake. Everyone loves cake.
The Maine Mall
You might have thought that after sugar, sugar, sugar, and cake the party would come to an end, but it didn’t! Sophia and her friends were all given a $20 play card at Round1 Bowling And Amusement at the mall, and unleashed on an unsuspecting shopping plaza.
Emily shows off her game card while cleverly discouraging kiosk pitchmen (you’ve been to the mall) with her mask.
There was shooting
Lots of shooting
Hooping (Sophia was the champion)
Hockey (with many more pucks than you remember)
Dancing, driving
And car key losing. You’ll have to ask Amber for the details.
And then, in a vain attempt to wear out the never-ending supply of adolescent energy, there was a 20 mile march around the mall.
I hope you like the highlights – it was a super fun party, and I’m thrilled to have been able to photograph it. Happy 15th, Sophia!
Absolutely beautiful!
