This website is, among other things, an audiovisual record of the road to your Fifteenth Birthday.

Julianne, in our first interview at the studio we discovered you were a really special "Quinceañera". And indeed you were so special that, as time went by, you became like part of our family, like a daughter or perhaps a grand daughter (no wonder you call me "Grandpa")

We discovered that you are a very beautiful person inside and out. Your beauty is not only exterior as our photos show, (gorgeous, spectacular, a number 10, one of a kind... WOW!!!); your beauty lays also within yourself. You have a great heart, a compassionated personality, are an A+ student in school, and display great attitude towards life. That is beauty at its best.

We had lots of fun while photographing you at different locations. Your great deal of enthusiasm towards having your photos taken was the force that motivated us week after week into scouting for places, preparing new settings and coming up with new ideas. We thank you for that. For us taking your Quince photos was a "Unique Photographic Experience"; we hope it was for you as well.

Let us also use this space to thank your parents and relatives for the effort they put in making this assignment a reality. Thanks

From Mari and Mano: We know you will succeed in making all of your dreams come true. Congratulations Julianne. Have a Happy Birthday.
