Questions Before You Book? What to Expect Next

Is There a Catch?
There is no catch. Save the Date sessions are completely complimentary.
The only condition is media consent: New Dawn Photo may use session photos and video for social media, website, and marketing.
This helps us continue offering free sessions while showcasing real families and real moments.
What Is a Free Save the Date Session?
A Save the Date session is a short, complimentary photoshoot designed to:
- Meet our photo and video team before committing
- Get comfortable in front of the camera
- Build confidence before the formal gown preshoot
- Receive 5 free high-resolution photos to use and share
This is an introduction session, not a full quinceanera photoshoot.
Location & Time
Session times are subject to change.
Because these are complimentary sessions, they are scheduled around paid client shoots. If timing changes, we do our best to notify you at least one day in advance.
Default location is Old Town McKinney or Adriatica Village (McKinney, TX), with final location confirmed before your session.
Paid New Dawn Photo clients who booked our Save the Date sessions may request alternate locations in DFW to suit their theme or idea.
What to Wear
Formal quinceañera gowns are not allowed for Save the Date sessions.
If the quinceañera arrives wearing a formal gown, the session will be canceled with no exceptions.

How Should We Prepare?
To ensure the best possible results, please arrive fully prepared:
- Hair and makeup should be clean, polished, and camera-ready
- Clothing should be wrinkle-free, well-fitted, and presentable
- Dresses, gowns, and outfits should look pristine and well maintained
- Any wardrobe issues or adjustments should be addressed before arriving to the session
A popular trend is the Save the Date Newspaper. You can order your template at quinceanerasonabudget.com/store/save-the-date-templates (New Dawn Photo Approved!)
Arriving fully prepared allows us to focus on creating beautiful images during your scheduled time.
Complimentary Hair & Makeup
We have partnered with professional stylists who specialize in quinceañera hair and makeup to offer FREE hair and makeup for Save the Date sessions.
If you selected that you allow stylists to contact you, they will message you directly.
If you do not hear back within 24 hours, or if you opted out of stylist contact, you can reach out to them directly here:

Virginia: instagram.com/viisaldivar
If you love their work, we highly recommend booking them for both your preshoot and main event. They also offer free redo sessions for preshoots if a retake is ever needed. This is an exclusive benefit for New Dawn Photo clients.
