Pilar’s quinceañera pre-event session took place at the stunning White Swan Castle in Folsom, a location that perfectly matched her vision of elegance and beauty. She wanted a grand and timeless backdrop for her photos, and the castle’s beautiful stairway and picturesque outdoor spaces provided just that.

We started the session inside the castle, where Pilar posed in front of the grand stairway and the large, beautifully lit windows that added a regal touch to her portraits. The indoor setting created a magical atmosphere, highlighting her stunning gown and the intricate details of her look. Throughout the session, we took a few short breaks, as wearing a big beautiful dress can be tiring, but Pilar handled it with ease and elegance, making every shot look effortless.

After capturing gorgeous images indoors, we stepped outside to take advantage of the breathtaking exterior of the castle. The front entrance provided a different look, while the garden area and the charming walking bridge added a touch of natural beauty to her photos. The blend of architectural elegance and outdoor scenery made for a perfect combination, ensuring a diverse collection of portraits for her special celebration.
