Tet/ Lunar New Year Photoshoot: Now Booking

I am done putting together this set for Tet & Lunar New Year photoshoots at the studio. I wasn’t planning on offering Tet photos but I bought a new ao dai for London and she looked sooooo cute in it that I couldn’t help myself.

When we were young, my mom always made sure we took photos during Tet.

“We were so poor so we were only able to afford 4-5 photos,” she said.

They didn’t own a camera back then but during the Lunar New Year, there was always this one photographer that would go from one house to the next throughout the village to offer professional photos for families that want them for memories.

And per tradition, every new year, each kid gets 1-3 new, pretty outfits to wear on New Years Day. The above picture was of me and my brothers and sister (who was only 1 then) in our living room with the cherry blossom branches that my Mom cut from the tree in our backyard (technically the neighbor’s backyard but the branches spread over to ours). The orchid was from our farm (my parents were farmers with large land filled with flowers and vegetables). The wild greeneries came from the forest where Mom and I usually meander to find pine cones used for cooking.
(I moved to the US when I was 9.)

The below picture was taken at Grandma’s house when we visited to wish her good health and got our red envelopes.

This was last night when I got London to be my model with the new set.

My little wild child & all of the random things that she does.
