Prudy’s 80th Birthday | Portland, CT
One of the things I love about my job is that I can have so many different types of photo sessions on any given week. Event photography is one of my favorites because it’s all about telling a story about a particular happy occasion. Such was the case when I visited the Herd Restaurant earlier this year to photograph the surprise Prudy’s 80th birthday party of a very special lady! Prudy is 80, and in those many years, she’s developed relationships with a LOT of people! I couldn’t believe how many family members and friends had come out from all over Connecticut and some from out of state, to celebrate her special milestone. They reserved the entire restaurant and after some mingling by the guests, it was time for the person of honor to arrive! Unbeknownst to her, this wasn’t just any ordinary dinner, but a surprise party just for her! Capturing her reaction as she went to both areas of the restaurant was truly priceless. Everyone had tears in their eyes as she noticed one of her brothers from out of state who came in just for her. I don’t think there was a dry eye in the place! After a lovely buffet dinner, I was happy to take some indoor formals of different family groupings. Prudy especially enjoyed taking photos with her many grandchildren and it was just wonderful to see so many people so happy for one person. The cake was a huge hit with a funny story behind it that had everyone laughing! It was a wonderful surprise birthday party and I am so honored that I was asked to photograph such a fun event. The family now has quite a few beautiful images to enjoy and relive for years to come. Here are just a few of the many photos from her special night!
