I had the honor of photographing a Quinceañera in Champaign, IL last month.  What a fantastic event!

Aleena looked absolutely gorgeous.  She purchased her dress from Delaney’s Bridal in Chicago.

We started the day getting ready at Aleena’s home.  Elite Limos picked the party up and dropped us off at various locations for pictures.  Some were taken at Illini Union, some at the Japan House, some at the Champaign Library.  We ended up at Ihotel there in Champaign where the dance took place.

Students from U of I taught the kids dances for the event.  They did an outstanding job!   You could see so much pride in those kids when they finished the dances.

The photobooth that night was something different than I had ever seen.  It was a flipbook!  You had a few seconds to dance, move, whatever you wanted to do and it took several photos and made it into a book.  So fun!  The company was Red Letter DJ’s.  They provided the DJ service and also the photobooth.  Be sure to check them out!

For those who attended, I would love to hear your favorite parts of the day!  Comment below and let them know!
