Natalie's Quinceanero

I had the privilege to photograph a beautiful young woman's quinceanero over the weekend in which four generations of strong beautiful women were celebrated.  The event was filled with a moving Thanksgiving Mass.  One part of the mass included Natalie's father replacing her sandals with heels representing her growth into womanhood.  Following the mass was a waltz performed by Natalie's entire court at her reception.  The evening finished off with emotional loving speeches as fifteen candles were lit by loved ones.  Young ones danced the night away and sneaked in a nap here and there.  Here are some photos from Saturday's event.

Dad's Day

I often photograph families and love it when a father wants to capture playing with their child or snuggling in an intimate moment. Father's Day is tomorrow and I want to wish all the dad's out there a happy day!!
