Happy Birthday Ethan! {Orange County 1st Birthday Party Photographer}

We photographed little Ethan's first birthday party a few weeks ago at Maggiano's in Costa Mesa. The party was exquisite and our favorite balloon artist was also there to contribute the the fun! There are a ton of fun photos from his party but I LOVE mom's reaction to Ethan picking the microphone, so priceless! Here are a few of our favorites, enjoy!
