White ball gowns and horses!
We were so excited for Kabele’s portrait session with her horse! We always love when the debs change it up and include something different for their photos. We met her at a beautiful ranch in San Juan Capistrano and ended up getting some great stuff! The sunset was absolutely perfect and her horse was on his best behavior.
National Charity League Ball
Every year, for the last 14 years, we photograph 30+ National Charity League girls for their debutante portraits in Newport Beach. These portrait sessions are like a dress rehearsal for the ball. It gives the girls a chance to get their hair and makeup done and wear the dress they will be wearing the night of the Debutante ball. We normally use our garden for these photos but it’s always a treat for us when they choose a new location. These portraits are used in the programs, their personal Debutante Ball photo album, and each girl will choose their favorite to be displayed in a frame at the ball.
About NCL
The National Charity League Newport Beach chapter was founded in 1957. NCL is a non-profit organization made up of mother and daughter members in Chapters across the USA. These young ladies join when they are in 7th grade and stay in all the way until they graduate high school. The girls volunteer hundreds of hours of their time to help local charities and work in their Thrift Shop.
Our connection to National Charity League
Jennifer was actually a debutante in this chapter, so it means so much for her to remain a part of it! It has opened so many doors to other chapters and similar charity organizations in Los Angeles and Orange County. We also photograph debutante ball events for NCL – Burbank, Assistance League (Newport & Irvine) and Las Madrecitas – Las Ninas in Palos Verdes.
