d you’ ve put so much time an ed pt y special moment ca ur er ev nt wa ll u’ yo s ce in qu effort into planning your ht for you? whether you’ re ed to rig is er ph ra og ot ph ich wh w do you know essional, you ne for your photo album. but ho ended professionals in this magazine or another prof mm considering any of our reco at your shor t list, to ensure th de ma ve o’ wh s er do your homework. ph ra og ot should ask those ph rty. Here are the questions you good fit for you and your pa a is se oo ch ely at im ult u the one yo

tHe most important tHings to consider wHen cHoosing tHe camera guy... EXPERIENCE: How long has he/she been doing this? Also, is this his/her full time job or just a hobby? PHOTOGRAPHIC STYLE - Fun, formal,artisitic, journalistic, all the above, etc... HONESTY - Is this the photographer that will be photographing your quinceañera or will they send in whomever is available. Don’t be shocked, this happens more often than you can imagine. HIS PERSONALITY - Do you get along with him/her? Is there “chemistry”? If you don’t, it will show in your pictures. APPEARENCE - Ask him/her what will wear the day of the event... NO JEANS PLEASE!!! DELIVERY - How long does he/she take to deliver your album? Believe it or not, some of them take more than a year! CONTRACT - Do you understand the contract? Make sure everything is written. Read it ALL. REFERENCES - A personal reference is always the best and people love to talk. Get a list of references from the photographer and check them out personally. A photographer who doesn’t have references or is afraid to give them to you may not be the person that you want to hire.

Questions to ask to the Photographer How long Have you been in business? How many quinceañeras Have you sHot? wHat distinguisHes your work from tHat of otHer pHotograpHers? do you Have a portfolio i can review? can i see your most recent work? wHat type of equipment do you use? can i give you a list of specific sHots i would like? wHat information do i need to provide you before tHe event day? are you tHe pHotograpHer wHo will sHoot my quince? do you Have backup equipment? are you pHotograpHing otHer events on tHe same day as mine? How will you (and your assistants) be dressed? is it okay if otHer people take pHotos wHile you’re taking pHotos? How long after i order my pHotos/album will i get tHem?

questions you sHould ask yourself do i feel a connection witH tHis pHotograpHer? are our personalities a good matcH? 4

Simple without too much decorations or complicated details.

It should be a two piece, with a skirt and corset. They should be the same color so they give you more of a longer figure. The corset should be long and end with a peak that way your body will look longer.

dress terminology

When you’re buying a dress the people helping you or the designer themselves will probably use a bunch of big words that you have never heard of, but we are here to help! Here are the most common words and their definitions:

corset: the more expensive dresses come in two pieces and the corset is the top part. It helps give you a figure .

shantung: Generally it’s made of silk, but there is also a synthetic version of it. This kind of material is expensive and not really worth it.

s Here are some idea e iv of gifts you can g as recuerditos... • A little box or bAg of chocolAte • A little box or bAg of cAndy • A cAndle • A PortrAit of yoU • PerSonAliZed chocolAteS With yoUr nAMe • A SMAll notebooK

The good:

•YOU CAN INVITE your friends and family. you get to see everybody you want. •HAVING A QUINCEANERA is something that is very traditional. it’s one of the greatest memories for you and your family. •NOTHING CAN REPLACE the feeling that for a day you’re a princess and no one can change that. not even a car, or a trip. •YOU GET TO BE A PRINCESS FOR A DAY. no one will be able to tell you otherwise because it’s not their party. •EVERYTHING IS HOW YOU WANT IT TO BE.you pick the chambelanes, the dress, the music. it can be whatever you want it to be.

The Bad:

•It only lasts a few hours. •You can get really stressed out planning it. •It can cost an arm and a leg.

The trip The good:

•IT LASTS LONGER than the party. •YOU GET TO SEE new places . •YOU CAN GO TO A PLACE you have always dreamed of. •YOU CAN TAKE A SHORT TRIP OF 6 HOURS OR LESS away. because you will have your friends with you, you know you’re gonna have a good time. •A GOOD memory. •IT CAN BE AN ADVENTURE. 42

Quinceaneras Magazine held the Austin Cover Girl contest last October 23rd at The North Austin Event Center, with the participation of 15 beautiful young girls ages between 13 and 16. All girls received training for more than a month by D’Ensueno Modeling coaches. This training included how to walk the runway, how to pose, how to smile, how to look at judges and people, and how to answer questions. They also made an intro choreography by “La Academia de Jazz” by Pabel dancing to a song from the 80’s “Born to be Alive”. The music was entertained by one of the best Texas DJ’s “Solrac” from San Antonio. And the honor to be the MC one more time was for Jose Navarro, San Antonio’s “Maestro del Vals”.

When you give someone an invitation it’s the first impression they will get of your party, and like everybody knows the first impression is always the most important. So make sure your invitations are what you want and match the theme of your party. There are many companies that make invitations and allow you to add a personal touch to your invitations (like SoloInvitaciones.com).

How many invitations should you buy? st or an You can buy an invitation for every gue ite list invitation per family. Look through your inv er. and see how many invitations you should ord

Photo by: Hugo Benson

who will the invitation be directed to? If it’s a couple it should be mr. and mrs. (last name). If it’s a family it should be fam. (last name). If it’s a friend it could be miss (first and last name). If it’s a guy friend you should put mr. (first and last name). If you are only inviting two or so people in a family you should direct it to them. If it’s one person and you don’t know who their plus one is, you should write mr.(first and last name) and guest. 56

De todas las personas que hay en el mundo 1 de cada 14 habla español. De todas las personas que viven en U.S. 1 de cada 6 es hispano. De acuerdo al censo 2010 que realizó el gobierno de U.S. la población Hispana creció 4 veces más rápido que la población total de Estados Unidos. Así que contestar SI a la pregunta 1 y 4 es algo relativamente común entre los habitantes de Estados Unidos. Pero, veamos la pregunta 2 y 3. Saber de dónde vienes es conocer tu país de origen, aceptarlo, hacerlo tuyo, platicar con la gente, visitar sus playas, bosques, desiertos, selvas, montañas y comer los platillos tradicionales. Una vez que hagas todo esto verás que estar orgullosa de tu país es facilísimo.

Ser educada significa obedecer a tus padres, ayudarlos, entenderlos y apoyarlos. Por el otro lado tener una buena educación significa que tengas buenas calificaciones en la escuela y además que leas y entiendas varios temas adicionales. Hemos dicho que si tienes todo lo anterior apenas vas a la mitad del camino, porque…

“A new national survey finds that Latinos between the ages of 16 and 25 are satisfied with their lives and optimistic about their futures. They value education, hard work and career success. But they are more likely than other youths to drop out of school, live in poverty and become teen parents.”*

importante con un puesto ejecutivo. Viaja al menos una vez al año fuera de Estados Unidos. Es una mujer admirada en su comunidad. Sus padres están orgullosos de ella y siempre hablan de lo buena hija que es porque los visita constantemente, los ayuda y apoya. Es una mujer que

puede hablar de cualquier tema con cualquier persona, se maneja con confianza y tiene un buen sentido del humor.

¿Te gustaría ser Neolatina? Pues este es el mejor momento para empezar. Seguramente hoy tienes entre 13 y 16 años y estas a punto de terminar High School así que empieza a investigar a qué Universidad te gustaría asistir. Qué te gustaría estudiar y porqué. Ayuda a tus padres y sé más activa ayudando a tu comunidad. Pregúntate ¿qué quieres hacer de tu vida?, ¿cómo te ves cuando tengas 20 años? Diviértete con tus amigos pero respétate. Abre tu mente a otras culturas y sé más consciente del acontecer en otras partes del mundo.
