There is no holiday more precious than a birthday!  If it wasn't for your birthday you wouldn't be here to enjoy, celebrate, FEEL all life has to offer.  I absolutely love photographing birthdays.  This was a special one indeed because I am related to the birthday boy, or maybe I should say man.  J and M always know how to throw the BEST parties.  Not a detail is missed (as you can see in the images), Down to a boat filled with ice cooling the abundance of beverages on this scorching day.   I've been photographing their celebrations for over 5 years all beginning with their wedding.  They have the most beautiful hide-a-way on a serene lake.  This party was in celebration of M's BIG ummmmm. . .well you'll just have to guess his age cause he is young at heart and in the MOST amazing shape. . .don't you agree??!!  I captured the fun loving friends and family, delicious dishes, and their sweetest fur baby.  Happy Birthday to YOU cousin M.  Here's to many more years of celebrating together!  I can't wait to capture the next party. . .in just a few weeks!  Love ya!  Enjoy!
