1st Birthday Party at The Book Nook (Lincoln Square, Manhattan)
I recently had the pleasure of documenting Ethan's special 1st birthday party at the adorable Book Nook in Lincoln Square. This whimsical venue set the stage for a celebration that was all about fun, laughter, and capturing early childhood memories. With friends, family, and classmates in attendance, Ethan's big day unfolded over a private two-hour event that featured wild-animal themed crafts, live storytellers, and catered food and drinks.
Here are some of my favorite images from this shoot (click/tap to view full size and un-cropped):
