I met Jan a couple of years ago at a celebration that I was photographing for another client.
Jan was in the kitchen cooking up a storm and provided beautiful food for the guests.
Jan owns and runs Jan’s Fine Food & Catering – you must check her out!
I still remember how warm and genuine she was.
Not long after, she booked me for her 50th birthday celebration – not due for almost another 2 years.
Jan’s been so excited about celebrating her 50th birthday party with her family and closest friends and the evening crept up before we knew it.
What I love about Jan is that she’s kind and giving and real.
What was just as lovely was that Jan’s son, Russell, organised and hosted the entire birthday party! When we chatted, it was so nice to hear him speak about her with such love and admiration.
Anyway, this party was a blast and like no other I had photographed before.
It was held on board the most fantastic timber cruiser that departed from Southbank and then took us on a beautiful scenic tour of the Brisbane River by night.
The crew at River City Cruises were so terrific and accommodating!
The guests were wild!
… and I mean that in the most wonderful way.
They made me feel right at home and to be honest, I felt like part of the family.
Thank you Jan and Russell and all of your friends …
I hope you enjoy these images and I hope you had the most memorable birthday party ever!
