Stacey and Jan asked me to photograph family portraits, both while Annabelle was in the belly and soon after making her way into the world! We had a lot of fun–I love working with people with a sense of humor and Annabelle is already taking after her parents.

Last month I photographed a doljanchi, a Korean tradition celebrating a child’s first birthday. It was a big day for little Caden, who looked adorable in his baby hanbok. During the doljabi (a ceremony where the baby picks an item to determine his future), Caden reached for a book, symbolizing his career as a scholar. It seems unlikely that he’ll follow his dad’s footsteps into the video game industry as he didn’t go near the Xbox 360 controller!
