Ethan's mom Liz contacted me some time ago for a family session. The emails quickly turned into a documentation of the First Birthday Party on his actual birthday when I told her my availibilty. Liz managed to get Dad on board and I was there to catch each little moment of Ethan's Big Day. We did a little mini session before the guests arrived. There were lots of guests and Ethan was such a trooper. Even after every present was opened it was snatched away and another placed in front of him. He was sweet, good natured and would have been completely content with just one gift. He didn't want to let go of his new helicopter but the guests were there and a mound of presents were waiting for him. Thank you to Liz and your family for not only choosing me to document such a special day but also for making me comfortable and welcome in your home. Enjoy these, I hope years from now you can look back and remember every detail of the day your little man became a toddler.
This was my absolute favorite of the day
Getting ready for his guests
Liz took picures every month in this chair.
Headed outside for a few pictures
The desserts were beautifully coordinated. The frog prince was made from rice krispie treats and fondant. He was constructed late the night before by mom. Both Ethan and the Frog Prince wore matching birthday crowns.
Peace Frog?! Really!! I love it!
Ethan and mom stealing a quick moment for a picture.
Cake time... was.... amazing. A whole new meaning to smash cake. This one was three layers!
Nice.
A much needed bath before gifts.
This gave me some time to grab a few candids of the guests. She could not be any cuter!
There were lots of Grandmas grabbing some "Ethan time"
Presents!!
One of my favorites of the day
