Braxton’s Cake Smash! // Annapolis Family Portraits
This little man…he has stolen my heart. Turning one is absolutely worth a magnificent celebration.
I think that’s the best part of being a photographer – the celebrations. I love, love, love they ways we make them personal, the way we impart pieces of ourselves into the joyful things in life.
Because Braxton’s first birthday party had a nautical theme, we did Annapolis family portraits to echo that! In the weeks leading up to the photo shoot, I did lots of exploring around the area to find the perfect spot, and found so many other wonderful places just by having a sense of adventure. But this boatyard was by far the most fabulous place for portraits like these, and Braxton thoroughly enjoyed being around the boats, trying to jump in the water, and playing with all of the awesome rocks he found on the ground!
I loved his awe at the world around him and the way he marveled at the taste of his first birthday cake. Child-like curiosity is a beautiful, beautiful thing and should be a life-long celebration.
Happy first birthday Braxton!
