How to choose the PERFECT Cake Smash Theme

Oftentimes, parents will message and ask how to choose the perfect cake smash theme? How on earth do they decide on a theme for their first birthday cake smash pictures? On the other hand, some parents have had their theme picked for months! No matter which type of parent you are, choosing your baby’s first birthday theme is SO.MUCH.FUN! I am a party planner at heart, I love a good theme! So when you mix a love for all things party planning, and a love for cake smash photos…you get magic! 

Some parents like to look at my previous work and choose from that gallery, and sometimes parents come to me with a fresh, totally new (to me) idea! I love both! 

Here is a list of totally adorable cake smash themes I have done in the past! 

a few ideas…
