Incorporating themes into your newborn and first birthday cake smash session

July 13, 2022

One of the most enjoyable things to plan when you are anticipating the arrival of your baby is planning your nursery theme!

Every set of parents has a unique perspective on what that will look like.

Storybook themes

When booking your newborn session at my Indianapolis studio, you have the option to plan for one of your set ups to match your nursery theme!

Here’s the fun part! You don’t have to stop at your baby’s newborn session! Her first birthday session is a really fun way to incorporate your nursery theme as well!

This Charlie Brown / Snoopy set up was a request from this little guy’s daddy. We had fun creating this special photo and then when his first birthday arrived, we planned his cake smash session to match. It was such a fun way to see the growth from the newborn stage to his first birthday and have the consistency of the theme to tie it all together. Notice the same dog house and plush Snoopy in the cake smash photo! Look at how much growth happened in just one year!

Color schemes

Sometimes parents prefer to keep things more simple. Rather than a storybook theme, a color scheme is chosen. In this session with little Miss Violet, her momma chose more neutral, soft pink colors for her newborn session.

Her cake smash session was an adorable hot air balloon theme including those same soft pink tones.

Violet’s momma made the hot air balloons for her first birthday party, and it was fun to incorporate them into her cake smash session!

Sports themes

Decorating your nursery with a favorite sports theme is a special way to highlight the unique interests within your family.

Quite often when parents have a love for a sport, whether that is golf, baseball, football, basketball, etc., that love is passed on to the children and becomes a common interest that bonds families closer together as children grow and make memories throughout their childhood. Sports themes are a fun way to plan for your nursery, your newborn session, and your cake smash one year later!
