Quinceañeras

Two very different days. Natalie's is a whole celebration at Rancho Quitasueños in Jurupa Valley — the dress before anyone has seen it, the grandparents in the good clothes, the misa, and her father during the vals. Camila's is the other thing families ask us for: a portrait session alone, at Kimberly Crest House in Redlands, with no party attached. We photograph in Spanish and English, and we plan around the chambelanes, la última muñeca and el cambio de zapatilla rather than hoping to catch them.
