Elizabeth, Jose Luis & Baby Samuel. Family. Orange County Family Photographer.

Salsa dancing brought them together but this little handsome guy created their family of three. Elizabeth and Jose Luis met one night for a friend’s birthday party when he asked her to dance. They fell in love and traveled from their native Minnesota to California and begin their lives together. After they wed, Jose Louis (of Mexican decent) and Elizabeth (of Korean decent) gave birth to their adorable son, Samuel. They sure made a cute little combo! This family wanted to recognize their love, Samuel, by documenting his big ONE year birthday. So, they did this with a family photo session with a little extra emphasis on the birthday boy.

The “S” in Samuel must really stand for smile because besides my own son (partly because I trained him so early …hee hee), I’ve never seen such a smiley baby boy. The only work I had to do was make sure mom and dad were smiling. Ha! In some of the images below you’ll see that this sweetie pie is almost ready to start walking on his own. Then that’s when the real fun begins. Run parents, run! Oh and did I mention that Samuel has the most awesome birthdate? Let’s just wish Sammy boy a Happy Halloween and Happy Birthday!
This one is my favorite. How could anyone resist pinching those cheeks?!
