There are some childhood stories that just seem to follow us through life… and Winnie the Pooh is definitely one of them. 🍯💛
Over the years, we’ve photographed quite a few Pooh First Birthday sessions at Cloud 9 Studios, but what I love is that the reason families choose Pooh is almost never the same.
One baby’s Pooh story started before she was even born with a family nickname: “Yellow.”
Another family brought in the Winnie the Pooh books Mom had saved from her own childhood because they reminded her of the bedtime stories she shared with her mother.
And another Mom simply LOVED Pooh, had been planning the outfits for months, and was completely all in. 😂
Same theme.
Completely different stories.
And that is exactly why I always want to know not just WHAT theme you picked, but WHY you picked it.
Because that is where the true meaning of the experience begins. It’s where a cute idea becomes something personal, and the photographs start telling a story that could only belong to your family.
I wrote all about these Winnie the Pooh First Birthday stories on the blog today. 💛

And how perfect is it that we’re celebrating Pooh this year, 100 years after *Winnie-the-Pooh* first appeared in book form? Some stories really do stay with us.
