Millennium Biltmore Hotel Event Photographer – NCL Burbank
This year was our 4th year photographing the NCL Burbank Chapter senior recognition ball at the Biltmore Hotel! Lee Gonsalves does such a nice job organizing the ball- from floral design to keeping families on schedule for formal photos, she really does it all! We always look forward to working with Lee and her team. The Biltmore Hotel is our favorite venue in the downtown Los Angeles area. Built in 1923, you feel like you are transported back in time to the roaring twenties!
We want to congratulate the class of 2019 for a job well done. It always amazes us to see how much these young women have accomplished by the age of 18! Best of luck to all of you, we know you will do great things! Special thanks to the NCL Burbank Chapter for trusting us with your memories.

About National Charity League – Burbank Chapter

“Each year, the mothers and daughters of the Burbank Chapter give more than 10,000 hours of community service to philanthropies in Burbank and greater Los Angeles County. In addition, members help ensure our strength and success by completing over 2,000 service hours for our chapter each year.
Beyond the volunteer work that we perform in support of philanthropies’ missions, the Burbank Chapter also raises funds for our philanthropies through the hosting of our annual fundraiser. This is a festive and fun occasion that provides an opportunity for the community to join with our membership in celebration and service.”
“For more than 50 years, the Burbank Chapter of National Charity League, Inc. has been a positive force in our community, through our dedication to philanthropic service, and fostering the development of strong character, leadership, and social responsibility in our daughters.
The Burbank Chapter was first organized in 1959 and chartered in 1960. A group of 28 women met on February 6, 1959 to lay plans for the Burbank Chapter, and during the first year, our chapter had 41 members comprised of Patronesses and a Senior Ticktocker group.”
