Carter | Cake Smash Photographer Wilmington NC

I met baby Carter when he was just a tiny newborn (check out his newborn session here!) and he’s just gotten even cuter! When his mom contacted me to schedule his first birthday session, I couldn’t believe that it had already been almost a whole year.

First, we got some simple shots of Carter and then we moved to his cake smash set, which was nautical themed. It was absolutely adorable, complete with anchor accents and a sailboat (for cake smashes, I provide the set up with your input/vision and then you bring baby, outfit(s), and the cake). He wasn’t so sure about the cake at first, but he eventually decided that it was the best 😍

Ezio | Wilmington NC Cake Smash Photographer

Ezio had the squishiest cheeks and most adorable smile! I was honored to capture this super sweet milestone moment for his family. Ezio showcased his personality, especially when it came to the cake!

We got some shots before the cake smash- just some simple photos in the most precious outfit. He was quite a mover, so getting these images was a workout, but definitely a reflection of this stage of his new toddlerhood! His mama requested a fishing-themed cake smash set and it turned out perfectly 🐟🎣

Niko | Wilmington Cake Smash Photographer

Niko’s mom requested a cowboy setup for his first birthday cake smash session and it turned out to be so adorable! As with all my cake smashes, we got a few shots before the cake. The added details like the fake mustache and cowboy hat just made Niko even cuter and I didn’t think that was possible.

He wasn’t quite sure about asking smashing the cake, but he did take a few bites before deciding that he’d rather finger paint with the icing. This is one reason why I love cake smash session- all babies react a little differently and we just go with the flow!

I’m so glad I could help celebrate this sweet boy and his first year ❤️
