Great minds think alike, right? When Bryce’s mom, Bianca, first contacted me about cake smash photos for his first birthday, she let me know that it would be a “Where the Wild Things Are” themed photo session to match his upcoming party. Rewind to about a month before when I had done the same theme for my little guy’s birthday party, so I knew it would be fun to see how someone else would interpretthe whimsical and beloved children’s book.

We met one morning at the historic Aldie Mill. The lush wooded area fit perfectly with the theme and provided some great backdrops for our photos. BUT it’s clear to see that Bryce is the true star of these photos. It wasn’t easy getting him to smile, but when he did, boy is he a heartbreaker. Happy Birthday Bryce, the cutest little wild thing out there!
