Aryan One Year Cake Smash and Milk Bath Portraits
May 5th was a fun day! For Aryan’s first birthday, her guardians and co-moms, Stacy and Becky brought this little cutie pie to our studio and portrait garden to celebrate with a milk bath and a cake smash. Aryan’s family members are long time clients and friends of ours, and their family has loads of boys, so this was a chance to have a little girl time with their youngest member.
Aryan’s birthday theme was all about the color yellow and bumblebees, and Stacy sent over a bunch of items that were right on brand! She asked that I work my magic in our studio and I had a blast setting up the studio first. We’re all about boy stuff around here, so all of the cute elements combined in the space were an absolute treat and Aryan completed the picture. I just loved watching her little ruffled fanny crawling around! We let her nibble on frosting and cake, and Stacy even brought Honeycombs cereal to sprinkle around so that Aryan could graze as she played.
Then, we headed out into the portrait gardens, for her post-cake milk bath. The yellow theme carried from bumblebees to lemons and this little girl splashed around and cracked herself up. The whole scene was delicious, just like Aryan. I’m always so honored to have families trust us with their babies. Newborns, six-month olds, and first birthday parties are favorites for us. They mark time and allow us to tell the stories of individuals and families. I treasure that.
I am just so honored to be documenting this amazing family and cannot wait to see Aryan grow into a toddler next. To see more of our time with this sweet family, check out Aryan’s newborn and family portraits.
We love family portraits whether they are set in the studio, the great outdoors, a specific location like the mountains or high country, or on our property in our outdoor portrait garden. Pixels on Paper photographs newborns and families, special events and portraits of all kinds in our Wilkesboro, NC studio. We would be honored to meet with you, learn about you and your family and be a part of taking special portraits that will become, we hope, family heirlooms.

Wild Thing Liam One Year Outdoor Portrait Photos
Liam’s one year portrait session was not only fun in its theme – Maurice Sendak’s famous children’s book: Where The Wild Things Are – but it was perfectly suited to this young man. Liam LOVES being outside and was more than happy to play in the dirt and leaves, wandering and exploring during our session. We met up on the beautiful farm property owned by his grandparents. And then the wild rumpus began!
The entire family collaborated to build a teepee on the site and Liam’s paternal grandmother painted the “wild thing” picture displayed in the background. While we created a wild, wilderness setting, having the warmth of the whole clan made it feel special. NOTE: If your child shows a particular preference or interest, we are game to incorporate elements and make a party out of the photo session. First birthdays are a big deal and we are expert (if I may say so) at creating birthday portrait sessions that celebrate who your kiddo is at this age. Plus: it’s FUN!
Like many of our clients, we’ve photographed Liam’s family, the Tevepaughs, many times. (They are family in fact.)
