I have known Erika for years due to the fact that I went to school with her younger sister Giselle. I have seen Laila + Jah grow up ever so quickly. They are a fun little bunch and I was super excited to finally photograph them! We chose to use Erika’s parents (Pam + Javier) backyard as our background. Javier has worked hard to keep his landscaping in tiptop shape so what better opportunity to showcase the fruits of his labor. 😉

Little Jah was a little camera shy at first. I don’t think he understood why all the attention was on him and why everyone was shouting his name.. LOL!

Many times people expect lil ones to be smiling for pictures but I LOVE when they just are who they are. I totally love this serious one 😉

We got out the ball and bat and Jah did not disappoint. Do I spy a little Alex Rodriguez in the making?

A family that plays together.. stays together…

And here’s the whole family

I lovvveeeee this one

…yes hes a mommas boy 🙂

We took advantage and got some “engagement” shots of Erika and Jay.. Look out for their wedding post later this year!! 🙂

Another FAVEE!!!! You girls are fabulous!

Jah was finally warming up.. here come the smiles!!!

This smile was totally worth the wait! MY *FAVE*

Of course I had to get a shot of the whole gang!
