Why I don't do cake Smash themes | Boston Cake Smash Photographer
Cake Smashes have gained popularity in recent years and some of the sets for these sessions are so spectacular! From Disney themes, Marvel, Space, Mermaids, etc. The big sets and props - I mean WOW! The sets and designs from some of the cake smash photographers are amazing! Truly works of art.
You may have noticed that I don’t offer these elaborate themed cake smashes as an option at my studio. I did consider it – I mean, the sets are fun and exciting. But, I just couldn’t do it. I offer simple sets with balloon garlands and a touch of decor. Here’s two reasons why:
The baby is the most important part of the photo – not the set:
When you look at a photograph from one of my cake smash photography sessions, the first thing you'll notice is the baby. That is really important to me. By opting for simple backdrops and minimal props, the baby becomes the focal point – not the large decorated set. This is the style I work towards for all my sessions – maternity, newborn and baby sessions.
Timeless Photographs:
By steering clear of trendy themes, my goal is to create photographs that withstand the test of time. We might not know who Blippi is 20 years from now, right? The simplicity of a colorful balloons backdrop brings a timeless quality to the images.
I love my cake smashes – the babies are so fun and the experience is special. We really don’t know what a baby will do with a whole cake! Why distract? Let’s eat cake!
Peaches and Creme CakeSmash Session | Boston, MA
What a wonderful cake smash session we had today! Prior to the session, mom had requested peach as the color of the cake smash and mentioned that she would like florals added as well. I am really in love with the balloon garlands by POP Fest Co (https://popfestcoshop.com), so I ordered a set for this session. It did not disappoint!
The baby was absolutely adorable and loved her cake smash session…which surprised her parents who didn’t know what to expect from her.
Overall, a total success and a very messy cakesmash!
Cake Smash Photographers | Boston, MA
Cake smashes are so funny! It’s a great way to show the personally of your child. A smash is a photographic story of how your child interacts with this massive cake and if they are going to love it…or hate it. You really never know! This little cutie loved hers, but was also very interested in her newly learned ability to walk! We had a lot of sitting, standing, walking, and laughs in the cake smash photos we took that day.
