Phyllis is the mom of my friend and long-term client, Jessica. Jessica and her family have been in front of my lens countless times in the last decade. But this time it was her mom’s turn as she reached the milestone age of 80.
A former dancer, Phyllis knew she was having a party but didn’t know where, so she was not only surprised but thrilled when her celebration brought her to Arthur Murray dancing school in Folsom. There was a dance exhibition and lessons available for those brave enough to step out onto the floor and an amazing spread of food to graze upon throughout the evening. Phyllis was toasted by her brother, daughter, grandchildren and friends in beautiful, heartfelt speeches, and then ended the night with her one request: a waltz across the dance floor with the instructor.
What a fantastic celebration for a wonderful lady and her extended family! Here are a few of my favorites from the night!
