Chapter 1

Turning one is a big deal, whether it’s a traditional Korean Doljanchi or a classic first birthday with balloons, cake, and a very curious little human. Chapter 1 is all about capturing real moments. Tiny hands, big expressions, proud parents, and everything in between.

As a half Korean photographer, I love exploring and celebrating that side of my culture through first birthdays while creating a relaxed and comfortable experience for every family. I’m naturally at ease with kids, they tend to like me for some reason, and I’m always happy to lean into funny poses and spontaneous expressions. The goal is simple. Keep things easy, genuine, and fun so your photos feel just as good as the day itself.
