8. Do you have a specific theme you'd like to stick to? * The theme is often determined by the baby's birthday party theme. Please be as detailed as possible so I am able to accurately match the theme. Also use this space to specify if you'd like this theme to be used throughout the entire session. IMPORTANT: If you have party decor or invitations you'd like the session to match, please send an image to kaylajanephotography@gmail.com
N O T I C E: If you have a specified theme, I will do my absolute best to follow through with it and incorporate it throughout the session. However, with some themes this may be more difficult and therefore I cannot guarantee anything. If I am unable to complete your theme request, I will use the instructions and choices you've made below.
9. Pre-Smash: What colors would you like to see used? * This is in regards to any images taken before baby is given their cake. This portion of the session is usually styled by me, the photographer, and allows me to capture all the details of baby during this important milestone in their life.
10. What color scheme would you like to be used during the cake smash? * This is in regards to the background, balloons, pom poms, and banners often used during cake smashes.
11. What colors would you like to be used for the outside of the cake? *
12. What flavor would you like the cake to be? * The smash cakes I use are typically vanilla, as young children tend to do better with simple flavors that aren't quite as sweet.
