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!
Cake Smash Sessions are SO FUN! | Framingham, MA
Cake smash sessions are a fun way to celebrate a 1 year old birthday. They are a mystery….we really don’t know what will happen when you put an entire cake in front of a baby. But, I can promise you this - it will be a wonderful story. If the baby cries…awesome! Let’s get that on camera. If the baby makes a mess…awesome! Let’s get that on camera. If the baby totally ignores the cake and plays with balloons instead…awesome! It’s all perfect and in the end we will get wonderful photos of your baby at 1 year old.
Just a warning, It’s a mess! lol!

Ready for a Cake Smash!! Let’s do it! I provide the cake and the decor - all you need to bring is the baby!
When you arrive to the studio, we will start photographing your baby without the cake…that way if they don’t love the cake we still have lots of great baby photos.
In this session, the baby loved the session but wasn’t crazy about the cake. We did not have a smash, but we do have cute photos. What more could we ever need!?
