Katie's father reached out to be about doing this photo shoot for her Quinceañera. It was supposed to be in two parts--we shoot in the park for a half hour then we go to the studio for a half hour. As long as the weather permitted, I was down. But the weather did not permit haha. It was freezing cold that Sunday, and super overcast. So we stayed in the studio.

Katie's dog was so adorable and well-behaved. She has had her for 3 years. How cute are they together!  Katie's 15th Birthday ShootTide & True Studios, Norwalk, CT

One thing about Quince dresses--they're huge! I tried to get the family as close together as possible. This was the best we could do :)  Katie's 15th Birthday ShootTide & True Studios, Norwalk, CT Katie's 15th Birthday ShootTide & True Studios, Norwalk, CT

Katie's violin as a prop was a great idea. I took a close up version of this photo as well, but we agreed that the violin with a full view of the dress was the better photo.

I always encourage clients to look super excited when it's time for the balloon toss. Katie apparently isn't a huge fan of smiling for photos haha but that doesn't matter because she loved her photos so much!  Katie's 15th Birthday ShootTide & True Studios, Norwalk, CT

I hope you enjoyed your birthday, Katie! Happy 15th!
