Kiara's Grow With Me Session at Hopkins Wilderness Park // Claremont Family Photographer

Yay!  Kiara turned 6 months and we are grateful to be part of this milestone.  She’s sitting up, loves her big brother Keanan, is a happy, happy baby, a total daddy’s girl and can’t wait to play dress up with Mommy and be her little mini.

It’s been such a pleasure to see Ravi and Dimple’s family grow.  We still feel like it was yesterday when  they surprised me with the news of Kiara’s arrival at Keanan’s 1 year session. 

Ravi, Dimple, Keanan and Kiara – thank you so much for putting your continued trust in us to capture these amazing memories and for welcoming us into your amazing family.  It’s been such a gift for us.  We are so excited to be seeing you again real soon as Kiara turns 1 year! 

Xoxo, Gina

Walnut Family Portraits at Snow Creek Park // Claremont Family Photography

Let me begin this post by saying that I love all my families equally.  We are so thankful that we have been trusted to be part of SO many happy milestones, made memories that we had never known were so important and made friends and family along this journey.  Thank you everyone for welcoming me into your lives.

Tus, Fatima and Dominic have to be one of my favorite families.  Well, to be fair, they are [just about] my family.  Before Dom came along, Fatima and I were sisters with a love/hate friendship.  We just loved to be mean to one another, but in a super I love you kind of way.  LOL Fast forward, Dominic has not only brought sunshine to our lives, we couldn’t think of life without him.  Isn’t my godson the most handsome? 

Tus, Fatima and Dom – love you guys!

Xoxo, Gina

Grow With Me | Keanan 1 Year Portraits

I love our Grow With Me sessions! It give us an opportunity to capture the early moments in your children's live that seem to escape us so quickly. Kids grow up in a blink of an eye. I love getting the chance to help you preserve those fleeting moments, so that you have the memories to hold on to for a lifetime.

I had the privilege to document Ravi and Dimple's sweet son, Keanan, throughout his life. It has been such a joy to watch him and his personality grow into the sweet little boy he is today! Thank you, Ravi and Dimple, for allowing me the honor of documenting his first year. We look forward to seeing you guys again soon!

Schedule your Family Portraits!

We'd love to see you and your family! Let us know how we can help you update your family portraits and we'll be in touch.

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.

Huntington Beach Family Session // The A Family

You may have recognized Alyssa and Keith from their maternity session we did on Balboa Island earlier this year. We are always so grateful to have the opportunity to be part of the growth of a family.  It's such a blessing to see the little ones grow throughout the years, and all their little personalities shine in front of our lenses.  

Alyssa and Keith, your family is gorgeous and I look forward to seeing the little guys continue to grow.  Chase and Ryan, you handsome little guys, keep laughing and have fun with Mommy & Daddy. XOXO!  

La Mesa Newborn Session // Milo Lakai

We celebrated Mary & Jeremy's wedding day in 2012, so when we found out the they were expecting their newest addition, Chris and I were more than ecstatic!  You may recognize Mary & Jeremy from their maternity session in Laguna Niguel just a few months ago.

Meet Milo Lakai, isn't he just gorgeous? There are no words to describe the love that Mary & Jeremy have for their little guy.   Just a few days into welcoming Milo into their world, they have perfected the art of being parents, they are both just naturals.  Seeing Daddy look at his new son with love and amazement, some of the most precious moments we could have ever documented.  

We look forward to seeing you continue to grow more and more handsome and reach all your baby milestones, Milo.  

Baby Milo's session wouldn't be complete without a little time with Grandma.
