Surprise!

Several months ago Dac and I were asked to photograph a surprise 80th birthday party! How cool is that?! The party was last weekend and it was a blast! We had the pleasure of meeting several members of the family a while back when we shot these photos.

After we met them we were even more excited to join in on the birthday fun because they are such an awesome family to be around. There were plenty of smiles, laughs and hearty hugs to go around...and then some!

Here's the birthday girl getting a great big birthday hug from her brother.


Look at this pretty girl! She has a twin brother too that is equally adorable. All the kids took turns riding the horse. Apparently she's been on before - looks like a natural to me! :)


The star of the day did NOT like having her picture taken...not one bit! I was so excited when I got the chance to sneak up and grab this beauty!! It's probably my personal favorite from the day and I think Dac did a fabulous job with the processing.


Meet Red: he's the ever so handsome dog in this picture. He and his adorable friend there completely made my day. He was be-boppin' all over the place and was such a friendly little guy that I couldn't help but fall in love with him. As if you couldn't have guessed that would happen...I'm so predictable! :) I'm pretty sure this little girl loves him too. Here, she's telling me that if you're really, really, really nice to Red, he'll let you scratch between his ears. LOVE IT!


We hope you had a very happy birthday and that your coming year is a great one! Thanks for inviting us to be part of your celebration!
