the czy 90th birthday

First, sorry for the delay on the new post. Been swamped with shoots and editing and just life. I’m back in the daily posting mode now, promise.

My good friend Jen’s grandfather celebrated is 90th birthday a few weeks ago with a wonderful party in Brooklyn and the family asked me to take pictures of this very special day. The view was fantastic and the party was filled with so much love for this man, it was just unbelievable. They are of Russian decent, so there was a whole new cultural experience for me…with the 3 toasts, singing, shots, etc. It was a real blast and everyone seemed to really enjoy themselves tremendously, especially the "birthday boy". This was a FUN family!

The speeches that his son and his grandchildren gave were so heartwarming and heartfelt, I didn’t feel like I had just met the man an hour prior, but that I had known him for a very long time. Everyone was moved to tears on more than one occassion- but all happy tears. It was a great day!

Thank you for letting me share in it. Hope you enjoy your pictures. All of the photos from the day are in an album on the left side.
