It’s the eve of Chinese New Year, the biggest celebration in Chinese culture. Gong hay fat choy! Last week, I had an article and a few photos in the Toronto Star newspaper and today we have a few more photos online featured on 100 Layer Cake. I’ve included some of my favourite shots and ideas from the photoshoot below as well. Enjoy and have a fantastic celebration with family and friends.
