a 95th birthday party

August 12, 2007 /

Yesterday I did a photoshoot at a 95th birthday party for a friend of a friend’s grand-mother-in-law. It was such a pleasure to meet the "birthday girl". Let me tell you, this woman still had it all together. She was sweet as anything and didn’t look 95 at all. Maybe 75. Maybe. She was so kind and easy going. Unfortunately, she leads a very limited existence due to being almost blind and very hard of hearing. But she is still quite chipper and happy. She knew exactly what kind of picture she wanted of herself- a "mona lisa smile, certainly not a laughing smile". Her one remaining sibling surprised her by flying up from Florida for the party and she was so happy to see him.

The daughter of the "birthday girl" who arranged the party had everyone dress in white and khaki. It looked really cute with everyone dressed the same. There were a zillion kids (great-grandkids) so the pictures were crazy-getting everyone together at the same time. But I got some good ones I think.

I am still in the middle of post-processing all 450+ pictures I took for the day, but here are a few to startFish95party_037sc Fish95party_170sc Fish95party_218sc Fish95party_107sc
