Urban Family Portraits in Downtown Santa Ana // Claremont Family Photography

We love the Dabbs family!  

If you haven't noticed, our newest member of the Holt Photography family is our sister from another mister, Faith.  We don't know how we ever did it without her.

Our session took place in Downtown Santa Ana, where the Dabbs family had a cute little place they called home.

It was only a week or so after this session that they moved out of the area, but wanted to take a little piece of their home in Santa Ana with them on their newest adventure.  

This GOD fearing family is too much fun to be around.  I hope that one day, each of you get the opportunity to meet Faith.  She's our ray of sunshine on a cloudy day!

Anthony, Faith, Noah and Addyson, we can't thank you enough for coming into our lives and making all things right again :)

Faith - love you to the moon and back!

Newborn Portraits | Gavin Simone

"Let me love you a little more, before you aren't little anymore." - Michelle Thevenot

When I saw the quote above, I immediately knew that it was something I needed to share with you.  As we are asked to do a newborn session, we know how important this time is and how quickly time passes.  We are so blessed to be part of the newest chapters in their lives.  The truth is our little one's never stay little.  After the days have passed of swaddling our little bundles of joy, the only memory [or evidence for their wedding day] we have left are photos.  

Maurena and Dan, congrats again on your little guy! Mackenzie, we are so excited that you get to be a BIG sister!  Gavin we are so grateful to have been a part of your welcoming to the world.  We know your big sister will take great care of you.

One Year Grow With Me Portraits at Malaga Cove in Redondo Beach // Claremont Children Photography

Aloha... Hawaiian for love, welcome, farewell.  It's a feeling, it's an action, it's a way of life.  

Over the years we have been blessed with the Aloha from the Yamashiro family.  They have become part of our lives, not only friends but family... ohana.

We cant believe how quickly time passes, we still remember when Mari told us that they were expecting.  It's been such a blast seeing Milly continue to grow into her own beautiful being.  She has her sweet big sister Maya to look up to and learn from.  Fast forward a few months, we are excited to hear that Glenn and Mari are expecting baby #3 on the way.  Maya is already an amazing big sister, can't wait to see Milly take the role of a big sister as well.  

Glenn, Mariko, Maya and Milly... we love you guys and can't wait to be a part of the next chapter in your lives.

Maternity Portraits at Monte Verde Park in Lakewood // Claremont Maternity Photographer

I love the look of a baby bump.  There is something about knowing there is a happy little baby protected inside that makes it so beautiful.  (Yes, I know, baby bump's aren't as awesome when it's your last weeks into the pregnancy, then they are just uncomfortable - I promise I'm not THAT crazy!  Haha!)

Maurena, although, expecting just about any day from our session together made being pregnant, a loving wife and being mommy to a little princess look effortless.  She rocked her session alongside her amazing husband Dan and soon-to-be BIG SIS Mackenzie. 

We look forward to our time together soon when we get to meet baby Gavin.

Family Portraits at Claremont Colleges in Claremont // Claremont Family Photography

With all the people in this world that come and go in the revolving door we call life, we are grateful that we have those friends and families that continue alongside us through the journey. The Bowles are one of those families.  Near or far, we share the same love for one another.  It's been such a blessing to be able to call them our family and are always so thankful for them in our life.  No matter what life brings, the smiles, laughter and words are always positive and uplifting. 

Graham, Stacy, and Sammie, we thank you for being you and look forward to many more years of friendship.  Sammie is an awesome little lady and we are blessed to be able to see her continue to grow into a beautiful princess - slow down little one, you are growing up too fast!  XOXO!

Family Fall Portraits at George and Sakaye Aratani Japanese Garden at Cal Poly Pomona // Claremont Family Photography

The Huynh’s hold a special place in my heart.  The first person I met from their family was Noelle.  She was in Jarron’s kindergarten class.  Through passing and school functions I had the blessing to meet Noelle’s grandmother and mother.  Wonderfully enough, Noelle’s mom, Rena, and I had so much in common.  We’ve been the best of friends ever since and love that we get to be part of their family.  They had their 5th addition to their family, Hope, who I am happy and proud to call our goddaughter. 

More exciting news, the Huynh’s are expecting baby numero 6 in November.  Happy, healthy little boy makes the score even with Boys 4 & Girls 4.

One Year Child Portraits at Claremont McKenna in Claremont // Claremont Children Photography

Aaden!  One of the most fun little guys we know.  We first met Aaden while he was still in his mommy’s tummy.  We were actually blessed to be part of the announcement to his great-grandfather of his arrival.  Those are the moments that you don’t forget. 

Fast forward to 1 year, and here we are.  Aaden still happy as ever, such a fun loving little guy.  We are so thankful that we have had the opportunity to see him grow through his first year milestones, and even sharing on some of the most special and memorable times in not only his life, but his entire family. 

Ryan, Jennifer and Aaden – thanks so very much for welcoming us into your family with open arms.  We’ve been through some tough times together but some pretty amazing ones as well.  Here’s to many more years of memories.
