Mary's 92nd Birthday Garden Party Story

As I sat down to edit the images I had captured at Mary Dehaven's 92nd Birthday Garden Party, I felt like the images just told so many stories. As a photographer I am always trying tell a story with my images. I love to be able to look back on places I have been or things I have done and be able to remember the story of the time I was there. And when I was at Mary's Party I felt as though I was able to tell the story of the day.

Mary and her friends have been running around together for many more years than I have been alive, when I think about that it blows my mind. When thinking about my own friends and how we are so very close and how many memories we have together, all the inside jokes, and even the tears that we have shared with each other in the last 5-6 years. Its crazy that these ladies have had 4 or 5 times that amount of time together how many days of laugher and how much love they have shared. Makes me wonder what me and my friends will sit around chit-chatting about 40 years from now. :-)

The party was just a blast! Every detail was well thought out and put together. Even I got my own name tag and place setting. From lady bug salt & pepper shakers to cupcakes decorated like flowers,  flower pot name tags, and Floral Table Cloths & Flower Balloons, Amy (daughter of Mary) left no detail unturned. Lunch was delicious and the cupcakes and Dietsch's ice cream pecan roll was even better.
