Clarissa’s XV Portrait Session

Right after Christmas I had the opportunity to shoot my first XV (Quinceañera) session. A little intimidated at first, due to the formal nature, I was so happy when she said she wanted some casual pictures done as well. Now we’re talkin’! I wanted her to have some unique formal portraits as well, but I have to say I was more revved up for her casual session, lol. She did great though for her formals, given the nerves and seeing as how it was freezing that day. Her casual session was done at my favorite graffiti wall which has a beautiful park right across the street with these amazing old trees that have tons of branches just laying on the ground, begging to be climbed and posed on, haha! Overall, we had 2 great days of shooting and I’m so glad she liked her pictures! Here are some of my favorites. Feliz Quince Años Clarissa!
