Ava's 1 Year Cake Smash in Long Beach // Claremont Family Photography

Ava was SO excited to be turning ONE.  Ava’s beautiful smile says it all. 

She totally loved her cake smash and we absolutely loved being part of it all.  We are so grateful to have been back to the F family house to celebrate another milestone in their family.  

Jason, Heather, Austin and Ava – we can not find the words to thank you and tell you how grateful we are to be part of your celebrations.  We love your family and can’t wait to see you again real soon.

Xoxo, Gina

Zach Perez | 1 Year Portraits

One of the things I absolutely love about our grow with me session's is becoming part of your story.  The first year in your child's life is full of amazing stories of sleepless nights, milestones of the first time they turned over, sat up and took their first steps.  

With little Zachary, I remember meeting him for the first time in his newly decorated Star Wars themed nursery.  I was over the moon meeting him, and was so excited for him - he has some pretty awesome parents after all, and is blessed with 2 older sisters that will be sure to take great care of him.  

As life is in constant whirlwind with soccer practice, school and work, Zach's 1 year session was set after his birthday, but boy did we have a blast.  Take a moment and see this handsome stud work the camera.  He's a natural.  

Zach, Sandra, Lucilla, Amelia & Little Z - Thanks so very much for allowing us to be part of so many of your special occasions and milestones in your families lives.  We love seeing your family and look forward to our time together again soon.

Reflecting on Another Amazing Year : 2014 // Gina Holt Photography

First and foremost we thank GOD for blessing us with another amazing year filled with all the love, support and faith from you, our friends & loved ones.  Whether knowing so or not, each of you, your significant others, children & close relatives have made an impact on our lives in one special way or another.  

Chris and I have had the honor of being part of your families celebrations, milestones and priceless memories.  In reflecting on another amazing year, we have compiled our 2014 with our loved ones, one image at a time.  

As I scroll through all the beautiful faces that we've captured, it reminds me of the fun we had during our session's together.  The jokes, laughter, the stories shared with one another - each session is so special to us. It's why we absolutely love what we do!

Again, we can't thank you enough for your continued love, support and trust in us.  We are so very excited to see what 2015 has in store for you & your family and hope to be part of all the celebrations & memories made. If you or someone you know has been a part of our 2014 reflection, we would love for you to share your love below in the comments.  

If you want to know more information or are ready to reserve your session for 2015, we invite you to take a moment and send us  message to hello@ginaholt.com or simply click below.

Luke & Alison's Baptism and Celebration Part I // Holy Family Catholic Church, South Pasadena, California

We can't thank GOD enough for all the grace he has given us.  We had the opportunity to document one of the most beautiful ceremony's in the Catholic Religion, Luke and Alison's Baptism.  There are so many special things that came for this beautiful day for Andrea & Paul and their gorgeous children.  Not only were their children baptized, they celebrated Luke's 1st Birthday!

We began our day at the beautiful Holy Family Catholic Church in South Pasadena, Ca. for Alison & Luke's baptism. 

Logan's First Birthday // Koreatown, California

Chris and I had the opportunity a couple of weeks back to take part in such an awesome celebration.  It was the celebration of Logan's 1st Birthday!!!  With both of his parents of Korean heritage, it was filled with such amazing details, ceremonies, and a more than awesome first year video that Logan's parents, Franco and Katie worked to put together.  We hope you enjoy their celebration captured by us as we are more than excited to share the fun we had.   

Happy Birthday Logan, we look forward to celebrating many more years with you!   

As guests entered, they were given a ticket to see if they could predict what symbol Logan would choose when it came time for doljabi.
