Naperville and Chicago First Birthday Photographer – Harry Potter Cake Smash –

I meet Aiden when he was just a few days old for his newborn session in my Naperville Studio. When his mom contacted me to book his cake smash session, I couldn’t believe it was time to celebrate his first birthday! Time does go by so fast. I have to confess that I was at a loss when she asked me for a Harry Potter-themed cake smash. I have never seen the movies or read the books so I had to turn to Pinterest for inspiration. Here is a fun before and after photo. Aiden a few days old vs his first-year photos.

Thank you so much to Maria from Be Sweet by Maria for the amazing cake!!! it was just perfect.

Here are more photos from this super fun cake smash! I love love celebrating baby’s first year of life.

And of course, we finished the session with a fun bath splash at the end. Babies love playing in water.
