TAMPA, Fla. (KGO) -- A teenager wasn't allowed to attend her homecoming dance because she wore a jumper instead of a dress. That decision is sparking outrage with a community in Tampa, Florida who say the rules need to be changed.

Jennie Ellis of "Jennie Ellis Photography" heard about the story and offered to give the teenager a free photo shoot so something positive could come from the experience. It's now going viral.
