Looking back at our WELCOME LUNAR NEW YEAR! celebration in February.
A big thank you to the new and familiar faces who shared the afternoon with us—and a special shout-out to the friends who arrived unintentionally coordinated in earthy browns. It wouldn’t be a celebration without a little horse-ing around in spirit of the 🐎 year!
Hosted by @redbeanstudio & @everafterhourss
囍 The Centerpiece
The team behind @twowhimsicalflorists truly outdid themselves with this 8-foot Double Happiness installation. Those crimson red pleats made such a statement in person and felt even dreamier to capture.
🍊 Blossom Balloon Trees
Bringing a little extra "pop" to the event, @popxtwist ’s balloon trees were a playful nod to the sweetness of new beginnings. And yes, everyone was surprised to find out they could actually pick them up! There’s just something about balloons that brings out the kid in everyone.
🍵 The Matcha Bar
For those who weren’t about that espresso life, @aocha.to came through. I'm still personally thinking about their lavender matcha!
☕️ The Coffee Bar
A huge thank you to Mike and Nasya for holding down the @redbeanstudio coffee bar. Between the return of the Red Bean Special and the debut of our Hawthorn Tonic, the caffeine was definitely flowing~
Some outtakes from our latest Red Bean Studio x Cafe event with @gtaimaging ☕ 📸
Thank you again to everyone who joined us! We had a blast cozying up at @akali.toronto and sharing a drink with you all. I gotta say, coffee, photography and friends look pretty good in this space 😉
If you weren't able to make it, we'd love to see you at the next event — get to know what the Studio x Cafe is all about on our website if you want to learn more or even get involved!

Happy Lunar New Year! 🐴🧧🧨🎇
A little cautious, a little curious. Capturing little A’s perspective reminded me so much of my own childhood...wide-eyed and completely lost in the commotion and magic of Chinese festivities.
A little throwback to September 2025 with the Fungs. The ultimate early birds in planning ahead ✨
A little late to the holiday cheer, but just in time for the finale.
The flu had other plans for me this December, but perhaps it was the universe’s way of enforcing a quieter exit.
This shot from Carlo & Francesca’s wedding feels like the perfect metaphor for right now: a soft transition before the next big chapter.
To every Red Bean client who welcomed me in, thank you for inviting me into your worlds to document the faces, places, and stories that defined your year. To those I’ve yet to meet—I’m eager to see what we’ll capture together as the new year unfolds.
Exiting with gratitude, re-emerging with focus, and ready for a bolder entrance into all that awaits. Happy New Year ✨

The holiday lights might be glowing...but nothing beats that summer sun.
Working on David & Joanne’s wedding album and couldn’t help but think back to this pre-wedding session 😌
The weekend’s on its way 🌞
Throwing it back to this summer day in August — a candid moment with Nikeeta and Animesh as friends began to arrive for their intimate celebration.
We've made it through another week and I think that deserves a piece of cake 🍰
Can't forget the small details like the engraving on Arlene & Matthew's cake knife.
