Sweet Sixteen Photographer with Megan

A couple weeks ago we took Megan to the  Bethlehem Steel Stacks for part one of her two part sweet sixteen session. Mom and Sis came along to assist with hair and makeup.
A sweet sixteen is a coming of age party celebrating a teenager’s 16th birthday. Similar celebrations are found in different cultures around the world, such as the quinceañera in hispanic countries and the festa de debutantes in Brazil, both at 15 years of age. Although it is common that sweet sixteens are mostly celebrated by girls, they can also be celebrated by boys. Sweet sixteens can range from modest parties at home with close family to large affairs with a hired DJ, makeup, hair styling, expensive gowns and dresses, and hotel ballrooms. Even if it is a small party, the main purpose of the party is to celebrate the person becoming “older” and entering a different stage of their life. Typically this is the last big birthday party a teenager would have.
