Capturing Crowns and Confidence: Our Experience at the 2025 Sebring Soda Pop Princess Pageant
At Infinity Reflections Weddings & Events, we have the honor of photographing some of Highlands County’s most joyful and meaningful celebrations—and the 2025 Sebring Soda Pop Princess Pageant was no exception. Held in the heart of downtown Sebring during the iconic Sebring Soda Festival, this year’s pageant was a celebration of charm, confidence, and community spirit, and we were thrilled to be part of it.
From the moment we arrived, the energy was contagious. Families, friends, and festival-goers gathered to cheer on 12 bright and talented young girls, ages 9 to 11, as they took the stage and shared their personalities with poise and pride. It was inspiring to witness not only their stage presence but their academic excellence—each contestant was required to maintain at least a 3.0 GPA to participate. These girls weren’t just beautiful in their dresses and tiaras—they were smart, motivated, and full of heart.
A Picture-Perfect Day
As the official photography team for the pageant, our mission was to capture every moment of magic, from backstage jitters and sparkling gowns to beaming smiles and tearful embraces. Some of our favorite moments included the crowning of this year’s winner, Paislee Lemay, the group hugs that followed, and the proud parents standing just off stage with hearts full of love. Candid moments between contestants were especially sweet—these girls encouraged one another, proving that friendship often wins alongside the crown.
Blooms and Beauty by Hobby Hill Design
Adding an extra layer of charm to the event, Hobby Hill Design was also on-site with their beautiful flower cart. Festival-goers and pageant families alike were drawn to the fresh floral bouquets available for purchase—each one carefully arranged with love and creativity. It was the perfect touch of color and fragrance, and a lovely way for attendees to take home a little piece of the magic. The bouquets made for beautiful photo props, and a few lucky contestants even received flowers from their supporters after their time on stage!
We want to thank the Greater Sebring Chamber of Commerce for hosting such a beautiful event and Chen Dental for sponsoring a pageant that places equal value on inner and outer beauty. This celebration was a true reminder of why we love doing what we do—capturing real moments that matter in the lives of real people.
