Alyana: Quinceanera

I've been waiting for what seems like forever to post the following images. I photographed a Quinceanera last weekend for the sweetest girl ever, and we did a portrait shoot months ago downtown. I couldn't post the images sooner because she didn't want anyone to see her dress before the big party, but finally I can show them off!

The location for the session was a gorgeous Bed & Breakfast in the King William area near downtown called Oge House. I think it was just perfect:

We roamed around the grounds and stopped where ever we found a pretty spot:

The back of the dress is a showstopper! This image was enlarged and beautifully framed, and placed at the sign-in table at the party:

Her hair was so pretty, I had to feature it in a shot:

Here's a slightly more dramatic look:


Alyana and her mom have been working on the details for the quinceanera for over a year, and it all looked fabulous. I don't think there was a detail that was overlooked. They even provided flip-flops for the guests to wear while dancing, and of course they cordinated with the theme of the evening-black and white polkadots with fun splashes of lime green.

I could describe it all night, but it would be best if you just saw the show:

Joseph and Grace, you truly have an amazing daughter. I loved her to death. And Alyana, your party was smashin'!
