I am sure you will recognize more than one face at this party.  This family is the one that started it all for me, the people that believed in me enough to ask me to photograph a family event.  If not for them, Bonnie Wireback Photography most likely would not exist. Hence, my extreme joy at being here for this festive occasion.  I was so honored to be called upon as all the Queen's friends and family gathered to celebrate the greatness that is she.  While her ebullience was palpable, she was not the only shining star this night.  Her father was even more excited than she was.  The state of bliss at being able to celebrate his daughter's 50th birthday just brought me near tears.  Seeing him celebrate brought me to even more tears; of laughter.  He is a trip!  There was nary a female that he didn't dance with at least once, including his grandson's girlfriend.  I can't wait until it's my turn to have the celebration with my own father and watch him dance, Gangnam Style, with my guests.
