Happy Birthday Rita! My good friends Mike & Brian Sullivan and their sweet families gathered in Mike and Jenn’s back yard to have a surprise birthday party for their mom Rita. It was almost three years ago that I photographed Mike and Jen’s wedding at the Brewery and needless to say it’s been a busy three years for everyone. Mike and Jenn have sweet twins Mikey and Rosie and his brother Brian and his wife Tess have a little one named Fisher. Their siblings and families all gathered for a fun afternoon with fresh steamers, a slip and slide and good old fashioned family time.

This afternoon was a great mix of family portraiture and lovely moments that blend together into the story of Rita’s surprise birthday cookout. I absolutely loved spending the afternoon with you all!
