Backdrops and other Backgrounds for the cake smash Photo
When it comes to backgrounds for the exciting cake smash photo of the 1st Birthday the sky is the Limit.
The white, blank studio background has been replaced with colorful backdrops that make the images look much more fun and joyful. There are so many different textures to choose from but for a baby cake smash you might want to choose one that won't draw too much attention away from the Birthday baby!A huge variety can be found on the Backdrop Outlet website for example and many more.
But it is always good to see the backgrounds "in action" and decide based on that how it turns out with a baby in front of it. That's what I use pinterest for:

Also Making the Cake Smash session outside is always a great alternative and nature scenes always blend in fantastic as backgrounds.
