Missy Marie Photography . Korean 1st Birthday

I loved photographing this lovely lady’s 1st birthday party at Maggiano’s at The Grove in Los Angeles.  Her mom outdid herself with the most beautiful dessert table complete with a 3 tiered cake, pink and white cupcakes and candy apples.  The tables looked amazing with pink flower arrangement centerpieces. My favorite detail was the amazing cursive “M” made from pink carnations that hung on the mirror overlooking the party.  And of course, everything tied in with her green apple theme….so cute!

Dad put together a wonderfully made video and slide show of the birthday girl’s first year of life, and had everyone laughing, smiling and maybe even shedding a tear.  It was really lovely.

After lunch was served, the birthday girl put on her hanbok, which is the traditional Korean dress.  She also took part in the toljabee ceremony where she sat on a blanket in front of a hundred dollar bill, a book, a football, a stethoscope and a microphone (she chose the book). According to tradition, the first or second choice foretells the infant’s future.

The pièce de résistance was the bubble man, who came at the end of the party to do a bubble show.  The kids absolutely loved it!  I look forward to seeing her grow.  What a lovely event!

I love taking pictures of people…of personalities, of love, of relationships, of connections, of giggles and of real life. Sometimes beauty takes on a bit of messiness, but in the end, you will be able to see the real and authentic love that you and your people have for one another. And that…is what matters.
