You Don’t Need A Cake Smash!

Why You Don't Need a Cake Smash for Your Baby's Photos

Cake smash photos have become a popular trend in recent years, often used to capture cute and messy moments during a baby's first birthday photoshoot. However, at Timber N Twine Photography, we believe that a cake smash is not necessary to create beautiful and timeless images of your baby. We like to create timeless portraits with your baby’s features so that the images are more about your baby’s REAL milestones (first teeth, tiny toes, crawling and sitting, hair growth, etc.) and less about a cake and theme!

Mess and Clean-Up

Cake smash sessions can get messy, requiring extensive clean-up both during and after the photoshoot. By avoiding a cake smash, you can focus on capturing genuine moments without the stress of dealing with a messy aftermath. We can idolize your baby’s face and features with minimalist outfits and props.

Alternative Themes

There are countless creative alternatives to a cake smash that can showcase your baby's personality and milestones. From outdoor sessions to themed setups, we can work together to find a concept that best reflects your vision. Although, I enjoy catering to every client and their vision, I prefer to stay simple with set ups and colors to focus on your baby’s milestones.

Focus on Connection

By skipping the cake smash, we can shift the focus of the photoshoot to your baby and the special bond you share. Capturing natural expressions, interactions, and emotions can result in authentic and heartwarming images that you will cherish for years to come. I enjoy capturing smiles, giggles, grunts, and everything else without cake or icing covering them from head to toe.

Timelessness

While cake smash photos can be fun and adorable, they may not necessarily stand the test of time. Opting for a more classic approach to baby photography can ensure that your images remain timeless and relevant, regardless of changing trends.

At Timber N Twine Photography, we prioritize creating meaningful and high-quality images that reflect the uniqueness of your family. Whether you choose a cake smash or not, we are dedicated to capturing beautiful moments that you will treasure for a lifetime.
