The Ultimate Cake Smash Theme Guide | Over-the-Top First Birthday Ideas by Meagan Paige Photography

If there’s one thing I may love almost as much as photographing babies… it’s planning wildly creative cake smash themes 😂


Over the years, I’ve created SO many custom cake smash setups for little ones celebrating their first birthday, and honestly, seeing parents trust me to bring these ideas to life is one of my favorite parts of my job. Whether you love timeless and simple setups or completely over-the-top themed birthday magic, cake smash sessions are such a fun way to celebrate your baby turning ONE.


And because I get asked all the time what themes I offer, I decided to finally put together the ALL MIGHTY LIST of cake smash themes I’ve created over the years 👀


So if you’re currently planning your baby’s first birthday and spiraling down the Pinterest rabbit hole at 1 AM… this blog is for you 😂


Here is a Pinterest board I have made with other ideas as well:

About Me:

Hi there, I am Meagan Paige!! I am the one answering all the emails, posting on social media, and taking all your lovely photos. I have been doing photography for about 5 years. Everyone I know says I was born in the wrong era. I absolutely love anything vintage especially Vintage Cameras! When I am not taking photos I am out buying more props for my future sessions or of course spending time with my amazing boyfriend and crazy puppies! Family is incredibly important to me and I cherish every moment I spend with my parents and sister! I love capturing the moment and making memories last forever. This website is my way of showing what I am capable of and how much photography means to me. I post new photoshoots as soon as I can in hopes to keep my website new and exciting! I am more than welcome to branch out of my comfort zone and try something new, so if you don't see the certain style you are looking for message me and we can work something out. I am always for learning new tricks and techniques. I hope you enjoy my work and have a fantastic day! XOXO
