Hellen, Rogerio & Baby Valentina. Classic Newborn. Los Angeles Newborn Photographer.

She’s a fashion designer and he is in finance. As I walked into their home my eyes popped out like one of those cartoon character’s that has gone gah gah over something. Yup that was me. I was drooling over all of Hellen’s fabrics. She had every color lace I could dream of so of course I had to incorporate them into our newborn session. Rogerio was a jokester and always wanted to do his impression of Ben Stiller in “Zoolander.” Then I laid my eyes on baby Valentina and I was bit by the love bug.  Valentina was born on February 12, 2014 weighing in at 6.11 oz and she was 20 inches long.

Her dad said, “I hope one day she becomes a Victoria Secret model. You know she get’s her looks after me.” We all knew he was kidding, but this is why I immediately feel for this little family. Their love and laughter kept the entire session light and effortless. Now before you make judgement on Rogerio for his comment, I must say his wife is so flawless she could be a VS model herself so we totally all knew he was kidding. Actually he should of said that she could be the next Ms. Universe because her background is already so unique (well I think so). Hellen is Italian and Rogerio is part German and part American, yet these two amazing parents are both from Brazil and I was intrigued even more whenI heard them speak in Portuguese to their daughter. So, yes Ms. Valentina, one day you might just be the next Ms. Universe, but for now, have a Happy First Month Birthday!
