Yadira is so excited about her 15th birthday, or more commonly referred to as “The quinceañera.” A big party in Sacramento Capitol Rose Garden marked her way into womanhood and maturity. Both parents and godparents played essential roles through the ceremony. The camera lens captured their pure emotions, while their big girl walked down in her flowy dress. The ceremony starts with the act of expressing thankfulness for the completed childhood, right in front of the altar. The parents and godparents give unique gifts to the birthday girl, marking this special day. Yadira leaves her flowers on the Virgin Mary statue to express gratitude. The father and daughter dance marks the start of the celebration. Alternatively, she can dance the waltz with her primary escort as well. A formal dinner is what follows next, while the guests share their loving memories from her childhood. The gown for a quinceañera should be impressive, and equivalent to a wedding dress. Colors can vary from white to light pink, while the design consists of dreamy layers of tulle and netting. A significant moment is the change of shoes. The parents remove the girly flat shoes and replace them with a pair of elegant heels. This symbolizes the life change from a girl into an adult woman. Also, the mother of the young woman replaced her headpiece with a beautiful tiara. The celebration is accompanied by a photo shoot with the young woman’s friends. The young woman is surrounded by her people, dressed as a princess in a luxurious gown. You can’t, but notice the happiness and excitement on her face. Only the purest emotions get to be captured on the photos!
