Here's Katie and her crew on Saturday afternoon at Black Rock Beach in Cohasett.

Here's Class of 2011's Elizabeth who plans to follow in her mom's footsteps and

go into a career in nursing when she finishes high school.

A few indoor poses

and because Elizabeth is a dancer, she indulged her mom and I with a few shots in her tutu
Sunday evening was a Sweet 15 celebration for this lovely lady.

We started out at the Arnold Arboretum in Jamaica Plain for some formal shots of the birthday girl and her attendants

I've noticed that traditions at these Quinceneara's differ with each culture and even within a culture. During this event the traditional changing of the shoes by the father signifies the young girl passing into young adulthood.

After her mom proceeded with the traditional crowning she presented her daughter with a promise ring. I had never seen this done before.
