Your baby’s first birthday is such a special milestone! A cake smash session is a fun way to celebrate and capture this moment. Picking the perfect theme can feel overwhelming, but it doesn’t have to be. Here are some tips to help you get started:
1. Match Your Nursery Theme
If you’ve already put effort into decorating your nursery, why not carry that theme over to your cake smash? The photos will look beautiful framed in your nursery, creating a cohesive and meaningful space.
2. Think About What Matters to You
Does your baby have a favorite toy, book, or animal? Or maybe there’s a family tradition or cultural element you want to celebrate. Choosing something meaningful makes the session more personal.
3. Coordinate with the Party Theme
If you’ve already planned a party theme, let’s match it! The images can double as invitations (if you schedule the session early enough) or thank-you cards. It’s a win-win.
4. The Sky’s the Limit
All cake smash sessions are fully customizable. Whether you want something simple or bold, we can make it happen. If you’re feeling stuck, just email me! I’ll provide a few theme ideas to get the ball rolling.
5. Plan Ahead
Planning is key! All themes, details, and bookings must be finalized at least three weeks before your session. This gives me time to order the cake, backdrop, and any props we’ll need. The earlier we plan, the smoother everything will go.
