Photographing an Indonesian event is a big deal for me. If you didn’t know, I’m Indonesian. However, in all my years, I’ve only attended a handful of authentic Indonesian cultural events, and in that regards, I feel I’ve failed some part of my ancestors’ history. So I love it whenever I am asked to photograph an Indonesian event in Los Angeles!

The day after their wedding, Lisa and Ryan wanted me to photograph their ‘after-wedding’ lunch at NBC Seafood Restaurant, a Chinese restaurant located inMonterey Park. One of things I love about Asian events is that there’s always so much food!

It was pretty amazing catching up with Brisa and her parents last week during Brisa’s 1 year birthday party, especially since I took her 6-month photos and she wasn’t even walking yet! Now, she’s walking, talking (or at least, making those cute baby noises), and giving her guests high five. But one thing that hasn’t changed is her adorable smile.

Set in their apartment’s community room is where her first birthday party was thrown. With colorful decorations that included balloons in the rainbow colors, candies and cupcakes, and party hats. In the middle of the event, a musician came and performed for the guests, and the kids were given their own instruments to play with. It was too adorable!

Thank you, Vanessa and Bobby, for having me as Brisa’s one year birthday photographer!
