Angie’s Quinceañera Portraits

I asked my photographer friend, Ellie (@ellie.ps on Instagram!), if I could tag along with her the next time she photographed a quinceañera and she graciously said yes! This was my first experience with a quinceañera at all, and I was so extremely grateful to tag along, learn about the culture, and capture some beautiful images of Angie in her dress!

A quinceañera is a momentous occasion in a young Latina woman's life, marking her 15th birthday and her transition into womanhood. And what better way to commemorate this momentous event than with gorgeous quinceañera portraits?

Pasadena City Hall is a popular choice for Quinceañera portrait sessions because of its grand architecture and stunning views.

On a sunny day, the City Hall's grounds are even more beautiful, making it the perfect place to capture your once-in-a-lifetime moment. Angie’s gorgeous purple dress popped against the green of the trees and we had so much fun taking these photos! She looked absolutely stunning!

Angie’s purple dress was detailed with butterflies and had a detachable train to match.

She completed her look with a tiara fit for royalty! As I was editing the photos at home, my daughter asked me if I took pictures of a princess today.

This such a wonderful experience and I am beyond thankful to both Ellie and Angie for allowing me to join in on their session. I hope to capture more quinceañera portraits in the future! To inquire about your portrait session, click the Book Now button below!
