    rosa’s 80th birthday

     

    Now that’s a birthday worth celebrating BIG! My friend/pilates instructor/massage therapist Denise and her siblings put together a great birthday party for their mom with family in from all over the country to help celebrate. Since many family members live out of state, they haven’t been together in a really long time because of covid. So not only was it a celebration of Rosa, it was a celebration of family. I was invited to stay for dinner (omg, such good food!) and hang out with the family and Denise said she was proud that I “survived” my first Dominican party. Not only did I survive, I had so much fun! And I made her promise to do some Salsa with her awesome hubby for me- which they did. That was awesome! Wishing Rosa the happiest 80th birthday. And I’m so glad no one beat me with their chancleta.

    alexandra’s 50th birthday

    When Nick (Alexandra’s husband) got in touch and asked me if I was available to photograph her 50th birthday party, I was soooo excited! Knowing Nick and his absolutely amazing taste, I knew it was going to be an extravaganza. And it really was!! The details were beautiful, the venue unbelievable and lots of my favorite clients were there too! Alexandra looked beautiful and I just love capturing her while Greek dancing. She is a dancing queen! There were a bunch of family shots too, but we’re holding onto those until after Christmas, but I’ll be sure to post a few here in the later winter. Hope Alexandra has all her 50th dreams come true!

    alessia turns 2

    A brand new to bsquared family that came to me last minute after the birthday girl had a little spill a week before her party and was all bruised up. Her photographer couldn’t reschedule the party to fit in with everyone’s schedule so I got the call to come for pictures. And I’m so glad I did! A fantastic, kind family where all the women look like at least 10 years under their ages! The baby, her mom, her grandma, and her great grandma  were all in attendance (but I bet you couldn’t pick out who’s who other than the baby!). Alessia wasn’t much for smiles, but I did manage to catch a few here and there. And her grandma made her beautiful cake.

    gabby & john turn 40!

    They say that 40 is the new 30, and what better way to celebrate than having a joint husband and wife “white” birthday party?! So that’s just what they did and I got to photograph it. With lots of friends and family in attendance and a white theme and a havana theme too, a great night was had by all! And the light up and neon accessories were a super fun end to the night. Happy birthday to Gabby & John- you guys will rock the 40s!
