Happy 1st Birthday, Cody! Wow, what a beautiful setting for Cody’s Doljanchi Ceremony ( Korean 1st Birthday). Everything was decorated beautifully. Cody’s Doljanchi ceremony was held at Ohgane Korean Restaurant in Oakland. There were about 120 guests joined to celebrate Cody’s special day! There were face paining and balloon twister for kids to enjoy and I captured lots of smiles throughout the party.
The highlight of a doljanchi is a ritual where a child is placed in front of food and objects. The child is urged to pick one, and the item the child pick is believed to foretell the child’s future. This ritual is called Doljabi. Guess what Cody picked! He picked coin which is for Weathy/Entrepreneur!
Thank you for having me to photograph this special milestone for Cody!
