There’s something truly magical about capturing the first moments of a new life. The joy, the awe, the pure love—it’s a feeling that never grows old. I had the absolute privilege of photographing the beautiful family of Baby Samuel. From the moment I saw him, I knew he was something special.

Baby Samuel was the sweetest soul. His little hands, his curious eyes, and that innocent smile melted my heart in an instant. But it was his hair—oh, his hair—that stole the show! I started to call him “the baby with the cool hair,” and I don’t think there’s a more fitting description.

As I watched Jessica and Jose, there was this overwhelming sense of pride radiating from them. You could see it in their eyes, in the way they gently cradled their son. It was the proud glow of parents who had created something so pure and precious together. In those moments, it was easy to see how every single part of them, every inch of their love, had been poured into the life of this tiny miracle.

Having my own son has only deepened my understanding of how deeply these moments matter. There’s nothing like witnessing the bond between parent and child, and I can’t help but feel even more connected to those fleeting moments of joy when I hold my own little one. Every giggle, every coo, every little milestone feels like an eternal blessing. It’s these early moments that set the foundation for a lifetime of love.

Jessica and Jose, you’ve created something so beautiful together. Your little one is a reflection of all the love and joy you share. Thank you for letting me be a part of this special time in your lives. And to Baby Samuel: Keep rocking that cool hair and filling the world with your sweetness.
