Rowan had a fabulous first birthday session last week! I loved his Where the Wild Things Are theme and he had the perfect little outfit and slippers to coordinate with my crown and tail. His mom was super prepared to help keep him happy and all those little tricks worked to capture great smiles.

This background is just so adorable and we paired it with some lanterns that Rowan could play with. He was so expressive trying to get inside to find the actual lights and we kept him happy with blocks and moving fast so he couldn’t think too much about what was happening.

His romper was just like the illustrations in the book, and everything really came together with the added hat (which he left on the entire time!) and tail. Rowan got to try all my various chairs and even showed off his standing skills which made him the happiest.

When we got to his cake smash, Rowan wasn’t entirely certain about wanting the sweet frosting, so we tried cutting into the cake so he knew there was more inside. He gave it a solid try with a small bit but overall wasn’t a fan of getting messy or eating cake. He did, however, like how excited everyone in the room was and how much attention he was getting, so we still captured some great smiles and all those expressions in between.

It was such fun to see this family again and meet Rowan. He rocked his first birthday pics and I dare you not to smile while checking out his sneak peek!
