After a deafening silence on my blog, I am here by going to blog regularly!! (or at least to try to agian, lol. It’s hard to get back into the rhythm sometimes.)
Today I bring you tips for Quinceañera or Sweet Sixteen DIY photography!!
But first...
What is a quinceañera? Like a sweet sixteen a quinceañera is a coming of age party. However, a quinceañera is celebrated in latin american countries or by people with a latin heritage when a girl turns 15. It also seems to be a greater occasion than a sweet sixteen. I say this because for a quinceañera, unlike a sweet sixteen, a hall or other type of venue is rented, their will be live music, dj and even a church ceremony. Nonetheless, every country has its own unique way of celebrating a quince. The quinceañera I’m describing is of Mexican/Mexican American tradition.
There is technically no “Quinceañera” season per se, like a wedding season. (at least that I know of…) This is because a quinceañera is given to a girl when she turns 15. She will usually have a court of “damas” and “caballeros.” Girls and boys her own age who will accompany her on her big day. They will usually do a waltz with her and more recently even a second surprise dance. The surprise dance can be of any type of music!
