In Korean culture, it’s always a big celebration when a baby turns 1 year old! Being that my husband and I are not Korean (but have many friends that are), it’s always exciting for us to experience the festivities of a Korean baby’s first birthday (also known as “Dohl”).

Just a few weeks ago we were given the chance to photograph our friends Tae and Yujin’s adorable baby girl, Johanna, for her 1 year old portrait session. Besides the fact that Johanna is just so darn cute, she makes the most animated expressions that can keep you entertained for hours. We certainly had fun following this fast little crawler (and soon to be running toddler) around with our cameras and capturing her all dressed up in her Hanbok!

Happy birthday Johanna! Much love from your Chinese parents, hahaha!
