If you’re from South Florida, then you’re familiar with the city, Hialeah, and the reputation it has as not the prettiest place in Florida. However, there is a diamond in the rough in the heart of Hialeah called, Amelia Earhart Park. As soon as you enter the park gates, it’s like you’ve entered into a different part of the state. There’s beautiful pine trees, endless amounts of grassy fields, adorable wooden cottages, and little rivers winding between the lakes. It makes for the perfect place to spend an afternoon as a family, exploring, learning, and laughing. This is just what I did with the adorable Leyva family. I had the pleasure of photographing them when Demi was pregnant with William and now they are soon going to welcome another precious son, James. It was fun chasing William around and capturing their family as a family of three before James makes four. Demi and Chris are amazing parents and I’m so excited for their family.
William is a serious little boy that analyzes everything around him. He definitely makes it tough to get a smile out of him. Luckily, I captured the few little grins and giggles Mommy and Daddy were able to get out of him playing together.
I have to take credit for this one! He absolutely LOVES spiderman. So I started pretend shooting webs at him and he gave me this little apprehensive smile. =)
These two certainly make beautiful babies! I love how stylish they are!
William being a typical silly little boy. So cute!
Demi, you are always so radiant and glowing. Motherhood definitely agrees with you. You can see the joy in your heart pouring out.
We ended the day with putting William in his favorite Spiderman rain boots and casual clothes as he roamed around the petting zoo. He’s too cute!
