      Minimalist Cake Smash

      Fresh flowers and warm neutral tones created the perfect Minimalist Cake Smash for sweet Adeline’s cake smash. This birthday girl sure did enjoy smashing her cake, but was not the least bit interested in eating it. When we gave her a taste to get her started she actually shuttered!

      Even though she didn’t enjoy eating her cake, she sure loved smashing it.

      She took one bite. And after deciding she didn’t like her cake, attempted to push it over. I love how determined she looks!

      Even though she did not like her smash cake, she was still all smiles.

      Trying her smash cake one more time just to be sure.

      I just love cake smash details shots.

      And is there really anything better than messy icing covered baby toes?



      My style as a family photographer tends focus on the child or family rather than a lot of props. That is why I love the neutral tones of this minimalist cake smash so much. I’ve done a fair share of themed cake smashes from golf  to Monster’s Inc.  And even outdoor cake smashes.

      But I think I may have fallen in love with the simple and minimalist approach to cake smashes. I love how the simple background highlights her baby rolls, chubby cheeks and cake smashed between her toes.  The neutral tones allow all the attention to fall on her! And the fresh flowers add just a splash of soft color to the set. Don’t fresh flowers make EVERYTHING better?

      What do you think? Do you prefer simple and minimalist or an elaborate themed cake smash? Drop me your thoughts in the comments!
