Quinceanera: Traditionally, a hispanic celebration of a girl's 15th birthday, marking her passage from childhood to adulthood.
Miss Amber is now 15, and what better way than to kick it all off with a rockin quinceanera?! I meet lots of teens who strive to fit in with the crowd, including myself way back when!! But, I just loved how she incorporated her invidualism into the whole event, starting with her dress. I traditionally see big ballgown dresses, in a rainbow of colors, some with bling and all with tons of tuille. Amber walked that traditional line, utilizing her favorite color purple, with the big hoop skirt, but I just loved the pop of zebra print she mixed in for flare. I'm always a fan of the twist on the traditional, and this got 2 gold stars in my book!
Amber was a breeze to photograph! Those freckles, those eyes, that smile, and that ATTITUDE! Now don't misunderstand that word as negative. I always appreciate when my subjects have attitude and aren't afraid to let it shine. I think it allows them to demand the attention, work the camera, and not allow the camera to simply work them. Muy importante! Amber had it all!
Happy birthday Amber!!
