Alyssa’s 18th birthday

In Filipino culture a girl’s 18 birthday is a huge deal because she gets to celebrate her Debut. A Debut is a major milestone, similar to a quinceanera, which marks a woman’s coming to age. Of course we are in a pandemic, so the typical huge party is off limits. But COVID can’t take away the fun and celebration!

Alyssa chose to mark the occasion with an epic photoshoot with her 3 closest friends at the San Francisco Palace of Fine Arts. The palace’s breathtaking architecture was the perfect backdrop for their beautiful gowns.

Happy Birthday Alyssa! I wish you luck on your adventures ahead. =)
