A hispanic tradition when a girl become a woman. I had the pleasure of photographing this young girl on Saturday. I will say she was extremely shy.

Read more on Quinceanera here. Overall I was able to take about 50-60 images of her. This one was the first one out of the camera.

    Nice shot with very good lighting. Interesting how you refer to her as a "young girl" given how the event celebrates her transition into being a woman (albeit young).

    Lol... Well I do think she is young...15 is hardly a woman in my opinion. However, it's their tradition and I respect that. I'm not sure what age makes a girl transform to a woman... Quite frankly I'm in my 40s and I still feel like a girl. Although my mother had her first child at 16... I wonder if that elevated her to woman-status? It's just so complicated.

    Thanks for the compliment.

    Very nice skin tone. Good job. My only comment is the hot spot on the tip of her nose. Dial that back a touch and it is golden. She, and her parents should be very happy.
