Joyce Jones Quinceanera

The history of Quinceañera dates back to the Aztecs, at approximately 500BC. The word Quinceañera, is made up of two parts: quince (fifteen) and anera or anos (year). Literally translated to fifteen years, it refers to a girl’s fifteenth birthday.

I had the pleasure of taking Ms. Jones' formal portraits for her upcoming Quinceanera in a few weeks. Here is a collection of the great shots we took at the McNay Museum.
