As a cake smash photographer, I love themed cake smashes and the ability to choose a theme that matches yours or your baby’s interests at the time, something meaningful to you, or just something adorable. But the balloon arch cake smashes will always have my heart. Simple, festive, and will always go with everything in your home! Although I feel like I’ve developed a very small fear of balloons after blowing up a zillion balloons and having at least one pop unexpectedly in my face while making every balloon arch, I cannot deny the happiness of a background of balloons.

If I’m given enough time to make sure your balloons will arrive in time for your session, I am always going to order from Pop Fest Co. As a person who has handled a lot of balloons, you cannot beat their quality and the ability to choose literally any color (they have double stuffed balloons down to a science to make sure your colors are perfect). And as always, I will forever add twinkle lights to any balloon arch/background.

Gorgeous cake is from Sabrina Bakes. She makes the best smash cakes, super messy and beautiful. We finished our session with a bath in my tiny baby bathtub.

Such a happy baby and a fun cake smash!

I don’t even want to tell you how long it has been since this has been sitting in my “to blog” folder but I guess better late than never, amirite?

We did a football cake smash for this happy little guy, with an adorable cake from Sabrina Bakes, and a backdrop from Fancy Fabric and Props.

“H” Cake Smash!
