Hello! I’m Dayra — a proud Latina, born and raised in Chula Vista, San Diego, and creative founder of Pardon My Photobooth. My journey began during the pandemic year of 2020, with Picnic Station; a passion project born from a desire to bring people together through unique, aesthetic picnic events. I fell in love with the art of designing event experiences that spark joy, elegance, and connection. Today, that same passion continues through Pardon My Photobooth — a mirror photobooth experience designed to capture fun in its most timeless form.
When i’m not curating events, I’m usually exploring coffee spots, traveling, or brunching with the girls! I also love styling outfits, a fresh nail set, attending music festivals, and watching movies — grounded by faith and inspired by life’s simple joys. ♡
