Portraits Photography

We went to Los Angeles to do a few photo sessions last month and while there we did a very special photo shoot with our dear friends Erica & Fernando. We did their engagement and wedding photos and now, we’re doing their baby daughter Gia’s 1st birthday photos. Talk about how time flies!
They wanted to do the Smash the Cake session at the same park where we took some of their wedding pictures, the Heritage Park in Santa Fe Springs, so for sure it was gonna be super special.
We got there and Erica was setting up the props and different outfits for baby Gia, she had balloons, toys, a piñata, a blanket and of course, the cake. Then, Fernando and Gia arrived and we finally got to meet her! She is so adorable, smiling all the time, super calm and sweet.
We started shooting some portraits of baby Gia Bella prior to the cake smash because it allows you to have some really nice, non-messy photos of her and her adorable outfits. It was so much fun watching Gia doing her first steps, chasing the balloons and playing around with mom and dad.
Right after that, we started with the cake smash photos. There is nothing like capturing a one year old while they experience the sweet goodness of a birthday cake. All the sugar, the different textures and her faces while eating the cake was just amazing.
She was having a blast and really enjoying the cake, she smiled and laughed the whole session. Such a fun time to remember.
Thanks a lot to our dear friends for trusting us and sharing with us this special time in their lives. You are such a lovely family and we adore you.
Happy 1st birthday baby Gia Bella!
