I had the honor and pleasure of photographing Paulas surprise 50th Birthday party. It was held at the Birmingham-Bloomfield Art Center and was masterfully planned and coordinated by Carolyn Hefner of The China Closet Carolyn and I have worked together many times for weddings and special events and this one did not disappoint! First, I hadnt photographed an event prior that was only for women! Oh my gosh!!! I cannot remember having so much fun photographing a party!!!! It began with all of Paulas sisters and friends arriving in a chartered bus by Blue Drive City Club to surprise Paula at her home. After being chauffeured to the Art Center, the ladies were entertained throughout the evening to the popular vocals of Stacey Mason of Music by Stacey Mason Trio, the superb cuisine was provided by Lakeland Banquet Center two fortune tellers, belly dancing lessons by Lana the Belly Dancer and Karaoke by Aaron K. All the decorations were made by Special Events Rental and flowers by the expertise of Ralph Bellisario of Bellisario Florist.
