Grandmother celebrates her 90th birthday with a gloriously funny photoshoot
A photographer named Brigitte, who is also the creative director behind her website, Pardon my French, has created a beautiful photo series in which she celebrates her grandmother turning 90 years old.
Brigitte, who describes herself as ‘a wife, dog-owner, Harry Potter Geek and chocoholic’, and also works as a midwife, had always wanted to do a photoshoot with her grandmother, whom she describes to be a ‘special, little old lady’.
Obviously, she had to make the experience as special as possible for her grandmother – and the photos just as incredible.
According to Brigitte, the photoshoot was a total surprise. She had planned it in secret with the help of her family.
On her website, she wrote: ‘My brother picked her up for lunch, but when she arrived to my home studio and saw the streamers, confetti, balloons, cake and the huge smile on my face she knew we weren’t going out to lunch.’
As soon as the surprise shoot was revealed, Brigitte dressed her grandmother in a tutu and tiara, to pair her with a French-themed breakfast.
The ‘breakfast’ consisted of homemade madeleines, made by Brigitte’s husband the night before.
There was also coffee served in her great-grandmother’s Royal Albert tea set, something Brigitte’s grandmother had gifted her on her wedding day.
Brigitte describes the set as being one of her ‘favourite things’ that she owns – and says it was the inspiration behind her French photography website.
Alongside the coffee, there was French champagne from Pommery – which Brigitte says her grandmother ‘wasn’t too sure’ of at first, but she ended up owning it ‘like a boss’, and even got a little tipsy after drinking half a glass, despite her not being a drinker.
Brigitte’s grandmother thoroughly enjoyed the shoot – especially as it was her first time wearing a tutu and drinking French champagne.
But the best was still yet to come.
After breakfast, Brigitte proceeded to a Cake Smash – where Brigitte’s grandmother was filmed picking up the cake and eating it with her bare hands before smashing it into her grandson’s face.
She then held up a hilarious sign which read ‘Cheers bitches’. It’s safe to say this was an experience Brigitte’s grandmother had never expected to have.
Brigitte said that the cake smash was ‘one of the cutest things’ she’d ever seen.
She recalled: ‘We had retro tunes playing and Nan was being so delicate… her mannerisms had my brother and I in stitches laughing!
‘To get her in FULL CAKE SMASH MODE we got nan to smash the cake into my brother’s face… the idea at the time was awesome… but the clean up sucked!’
The photography shoot was finished up with some cleaning up of some very messy cake, before the Brigitte, her brother and their grandmother sat down to look through some old photo albums.
