Family Portraits: Virginia's 90th Birthday

I was honored when my friend Karen asked if I could take pictures for her grandmother Virginia's 90th birthday party. It was a surprise party, and the room was packed with friends and family waiting to great this wonderful woman.

She thought they were meeting just a few friends for lunch so needless to say the room full of people welcoming her was completely unexpected!Her son gave a touching speech to all present.

Karen and her mother did an awesome job of organizing the fun flapper theme.Both the balloons and decor was a huge hit with the kids (and adults too!)

And of course the delicious food and cakes!

The family also created a slideshow with pictures from Virginia's life....incredible to see all the amazing things she'd done over the last 90 years! What an inspiration. :)
We met a couple of days later to get the entire family photographed in the park just a few blocks from where she now lives. Here are just a couple of the family portraits and individual portraits I took of all the kids.
