Nora Chae's First Birthday!

Got the privilege of shooting for Nora's "Dol" over the weekend. I realized how much I love taking pictures of kids. As a subject, they are innately cute and they completely lack any self-consciousness, especially the kids at this party.

I'm also so glad to have met all the Chaes. Now I know where Connie gets it from. Hehe. Thank you, Karen, for being the most supportive of my attempts at creativity and for making me piping hot food.

Congrats on your first year of life, dear Nora! You're the most good-natured, smiley baby I know. =)

Some details of the day. Karen is a great eye for decor.

And I will leave you with this last little gem:

Let me know what you think!
