I love shooting different sessions like newborns, engagement sessions, etc. But it's such an amazing thing to be asked to shoot a 100th Birthday family portrait session!
Mr. Harry Lord turned 100 years old this year and there was a celebration to be had! His family flew in from all over to be with him and then the senior home also had a celebration for him. We started off the day with family portraits and even had a group of about 28 people! The family gathered for lunch after all the pictures (thanks for your patience!) and then the joined the rest of the residents to listen to the musicians that came to play for the birthday party. It was so fun to listen to some big band tunes and to see Mr. Harry Lord dancing with others or by himself.
He was such a trooper and he's still so active and so funny. It was a joy to be a part of the birthday celebration and to be a part of an amazing milestone in life.
To see the rest of the images, go to my website http://www.karellephotography.com/ and click on 'Portraits,' then 'Digital Studio', and find "Harry Lord's 100th Birthday." You'll see the images that are on my blog and as well as the rest of the images.

Some of the residents signed a card for Harry and gave it to him when they were all gathered.
What a fun cake!!

His children stood with him while everyone sang.
He sang Happy Birthday along with everyone else: "Happy Birthday to ME!"
He blew out all his candles!
