When my friend Melissa (Mo!) contacted me to photograph her mom’s 50th birthday party, I couldn’t have been more excited. Mo and I were both part of the drill team in jr. high and then in the same drama class in high school. I just remember laughing with her a lot and so I knew this party would be nothing but fun. Melissa and her siblings did such a great job throwing it together- there were tons of good food, great music from a live DJ, and lots of loving family and friends. Everyone had a blast!

Everyone meet Jackie, the birthday girl : ) She was glowing the whole night!

love all the details!

this little guy is adorable!

Halfway into the night Jackie gave a speech to thank all the guests for coming. Cake and dancing quickly followed as the celebration continued!

And now the dancing pictures! I had so much fun dancing along as I took pictures, haha. Here are some of my favorites from the night…

and look who was DJing this whole time! : ) hehe

I really wish I could share all the fun pictures with you here, but there are just too many! I promise I’ll post the rest of them up on my facebook page, so stay tuned! For now, we’ll end with these. ..

Jackie and her children, a.k.a. the awesome party planners! : )

Happy 50th Birthday Jackie! : ) Blessings to you this coming year! And Mo, thank you for inviting me over to join in on all the fun. I really had a blast!
