I had the opportunity to shoot a Quinceañera last summer and it was a great experience. A Quinceañera is the celebration of a girl's fifteenth birthday
in parts of Latin America and elsewhere in communities of people from Latin
America. Latin myths and tradition tell about how girls
were prepared to be married by the age of fifteen. In the years prior to their
fifteenth birthdays, girls were taught to cook, weave, and about child rearing
by the elder women in their communities in preparation for their lives as
married women.
