Cake Smash Themes

Creating Our Cake Smash Photography Themes

Our planning with each family for their child’s custom birthday photos starts with a consultation – either in person, over the phone, or via email. Here, we can discuss what ideas you might have based on your child’s nursery/bedroom, decor in your home, or favorite colors. I also have a menu of cake smash themes that I can send you that shows you what themes I have done in the past for other clients. Many will choose right from here! Or, because my themes are all based on real props, we are able to mix and match backgrounds and specific items to make something unique for you!

*Due to licensing limitations, you will find that the majority of our themes are based on colors, styles, or events rather than characters. As artists ourselves, we understand and appreciate the value of items created by another entity. You are welcome to bring items you have purchased yourself if you would like a particular character featured in your photoshoot. There are so many unique themes we can create without characters, many times clients are more than OK with creating something we decide together!

Cake Smash photography is truly an art of not only creating the theme and planning for the photoshoot itself but capturing your child as they experience something new for the first time. Often, my favorite part of photographing babies and children is that we never know what’s going to happen! Relax, knowing that my many years of experience working with children of all ages and needs will give you beautiful photos you can look back on fondly year after year. And just because they aren’t turning 1, doesn’t mean we can’t plan a custom cake smash for your child, too (ADULT Cake Smashes are quickly becoming a thing for those middle-age birthdays and beyond, too)!
