We Have Snow!

We had our first real snow yesterday in Baltimore. Apia was so amused with watching the snow fall, but he wanted even more to dig his hands and face into it (which we did not let him do, of course). We did, however, take him down to Wyman Park to see all the kids in the neighborhood making use of their sleds. He was just thrilled by it all, although I think we'll wait until next year to let him have a go at it.


All bundled up and ready for a trek in the snow.




Hampden in the snow.








So excited!




Trying to see what all the fuss is about.




"Look at them go!"

¡Feliz Año Nuevo!

We're finally back in Baltimore after a relaxing Christmas with our families in Wilmington, North Carolina. SamoanCuban Photography had an eventful year in '08 and we're looking forward to 2009 with a new baby boy (due in May) and a couple more weddings on the docket- even one in Mexico this summer! We've got a few more exciting changes up our sleeves -so stay tuned for details. Many thanks to all of our blog subscribers and viewers!

Every year, Gabriel's 40-some odd cousins get together for a massive cousin's day celebration at Wrightsville Beach Park. This year there was a friendly game of dodge ball and leisurely game of kickball ( ie: no broken bones or bleeding) We were quite the spectacle to say the least!

Bernard out for blood!
