Happy 70th Mr. Traussi

I was really honored when Brett contacted me and asked if I could capture his father's 70th birthday celebration. Brett did an AMAZING job of organizing this touching event. He contacted me on Wednesday for Sunday's event. He coordinated this beautiful and successful celebration in a matter of days. He must of obtained these skills from his business experience. If your ever on vacation or just live in the NYC area you should make reservations for one of Mr. Traussi's restaurants; especially if you haven't tried French Cuisine cooked by a top internationally known Chef Daniel Boulud. Check out the website by clicking here.

We started out the day at the town's green for some family portraits. Here are a few to share.

Such a beautiful family. After many family shots (more images to come in a slide-show stay tuned for that) We headed over to the celebration.

The details were GORGEOUS!

A few more portraits




The cake Mr. Traussi ordered was so beautiful and smelled so good. Everyone joined in to sing Happy Birthday.


I couldn't stop shooting these cuties.

Everyone gathered outside the restaurant. What a great turn out. It didn't take long to realize Mr. Traussi is a special guy.

Thanks everyone!

Happy 70th Mr. Traussi!

great job Val! I always find these types of events (reunions, birthdays, etc.) the hardest to shoot, and you really captured this beautifully from every angle. i love the fun portraits of the kids in front of the brick wall.
