Photographer’s Tip
(Let’s keep positioning YOU as the expert moms trust.)
For the best cake smash results:
-
Choose buttercream only
-
Stick to pastels (dusty pink, sage, beige, baby blue, lavender)
-
Keep it simple — babies get overwhelmed with busy designs
-
Soft swirls photograph best
-
Avoid reds, black, neon colours
