A Quinceañera is the Hispanic tradition of celebrating a young girl's coming of age and that is her 15th Birthday.
Little girls in the Hispanic Culture dream of becoming La Quinceañera........This is the Day when a little Girl becomes a Young Lady. It is the day when she gets to waltz around in a ballgown and be crowned.

It is traditional for the ceremony to include changing of her little girl shoes to high heels which represents becoming a young lady.
Also Common is the gift of a Scepter symbolizing that She is becoming responsible for herself.
I took the above images at the celebration of a Very Special Quinceañera. I was there the day she was born and it amazes me how time flies. She has grown into such a beautiful young Lady and has made me very proud to be her TITI.
Love you Damary Eliz.
Such beautiful pictures!
