I’ve got to share about this amazing 90th birthday party I had the pleasure of photographing. Gigi celebrated her big 9-0 at Hawk’s View Golf Club in beautiful Lake Geneva, Wisconsin. Her lovely daughter, Julie, reached out to me to capture the event. What first caught my attention was that Julie wanted a couple of posed shots, but mostly, she wanted those natural, candid moments. And I was ALL IN on that!!
Meeting Gigi: A True Joy
Meeting Gigi was such a joy. She’s a truly wonderful woman. One of the coolest things about the party was that five of her kindergarten classmates were there! Can you believe it? 85 years of friendship! That’s some serious dedication. It’s inspiring to see such long-lasting bonds.
A Party Full of Love and Laughter
The party itself was full of love and laughter. Family and friends came together to celebrate Gigi, and you could feel the warmth and joy in the air. I loved capturing all the smiles, hugs, and happy tears.
Feeling Right at Home
Gigi’s family and friends were so welcoming. It felt like I was part of the celebration, not just the photographer. It’s moments like these that remind me why I love what I do.
Favorite Moments
Two of my favorite moments were when Gigi’s daughter, Julie, stood up to share about her mother and honor her life and legacy. It was such a touching tribute. Another precious moment was when one of Gigi’s great-granddaughters, Taylor, grabbed the microphone to sing “Happy Birthday” to Gigi. It was absolutely precious!
Capturing Your Special Moments
If you’ve got a special event coming up and want those real, candid moments captured, I’d love to help. There’s nothing like preserving those genuine, heartfelt memories. Whether it’s a 90th birthday, a bridal shower, or a family brunch, capturing the love and joy of these events is what I do best.
A Heartfelt Thank You
