Zoe’s 100 Day Celebration

BEL AIR, CALIFORNIA

Recently, I had the pleasure of photographing for Crystal and her family once again. The first time I met this family was when I photographed Max’s 2nd birthday party at MyGym. This time around, they were throwing a traditional Chinese 100-Day birthday brunch celebration for their adorable baby daughter Zoe at Hotel Bel-Air. I had never heard of this kind of event, and it was fun to have photographed it!

Prior to the event, the family and I quickly walked around the beautifully lush Hotel Bel-Air grounds to photograph some formal family shots. Afterwards, it was all party, haha. Towards the end of the celebration, guests were surprised with a performance by Chinese dragons! You’ll have to read on to get a glimpse of the action!

Max’s Second Birthday

ENCINO, CALIFORNIA

For Max’s second birthday, his parents decided to invite friends and family to celebrate at My Gym, a children’s fitness center that I seem to be seeing everywhere! Inside, there is a playground that I know I would have loved as a kid – slides, trampoline, ballpen, strings from the ceiling, roley-bally-thingy, and space to just run around with plenty of cushions for protection.

It was such an interactive party, and you can really tell how much fun the birthday boy was having. He was going 100mph through the obstacles, playing with everything in sight, and the other kids followed suit!

Mateo’s First Birthday

MONTEREY PARK, CALIFORNIA

One year ago, I photographed little Mateo being delivered into this world. Now, he’s all grown up! Celebrating his one year birthday with close friends and family members at a park in Monterey Park, Mateo dressed up in an adorable onesies with a bow-tie and a golfer’s hat – dapper as always!

There were more than family and friends at the birthday party, however, as members of Yo Gabba Gabba stopped by to wish Mateo a happy birthday as well! Everyone seemed to have had such a great time, especially when it came to hitting the piñatas for the candy rain to occur.

Mateo, thank you for having me as your one-year birthday photographer!

Perry

PASADENA, CALIFORNIA

During a clear and bright day in Southern California, a little girl name Perry celebrated her 1 year birthday. It was a celebration that graduated her from the year of being a baby into her next stage in life – being a toddler.

The birthday celebration took place in her backyard that overlooked the Pasadena neighborhood. Perry was dressed in a cute floral outfit as she enjoyed the party, until it was time for business. In the Korean tradition, when a baby turns one, they ‘choose their future’, meaning they are placed on a mat with several objects in front of them, each symbolizing a different career. Perry, now in her adorable traditional Korean dress, crawled towards the ruler.

Ladies and gentlemen, I give you, a future architect! Thank you, Perry, for having me as your one-year birthday photographer!

Brisa

LOS ANGELES, CALIFORNIA

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!
