Simone Holtznagel looked every inch the doting new mum as she shared an adorable photo of her baby daughter Gia on Sunday.
The Australian model, 31, was all smiles as she snapped an elevator selfie while cradling her giggling bundle of joy in one arm.
Posting the candid picture to Instagram, the blonde beauty captioned the image with a simple, ‘Say cheese,’ alongside a smiling emoji and a cheese emoji.
The mum-of-one, who shares Gia with her ex Jono Castano, opted for a very fashionable but casual ensemble during her outing with the bub.
Slipping in a white tank top and faded mum jeans, Simone hid her eyes behind a pair of designer sunglasses as she toted a brown woven bag on her shoulder.
Simone polished off her look with a set of red nails and leopard print shoes, juggling a can of coke and baby Gia in one hand.

The socialite split from her former beau, celebrity trainer Jono, 33, on Easter Sunday, just nine weeks after they welcomed their baby daughter Gia into the world.
Earlier this month, Simone hinted she is well and truly over her ex as she shared a very telling post to her Instagram last Wednesday.
The blonde beauty shared a photo that showed two cards from a deck of Beyond Words cards.
The deck contains 52 cards featuring inspirational aphorisms, accompanied by illustrations by artist See Aiche.
Simone’s photo showed one card face down, and another bearing a quote from an ‘unknown’ source.
The quote read: ‘The best revenge is no revenge. Move on, be happy.’
The post appeared to be a pointed comment about her relationship with Jono, several months after their split.
Jono confirmed news of their split to Daily Mail Australia in July, and Simone has since said she is raising Gia alone.

She cryptically remarked that she ‘couldn’t change’ the man she loved, telling Stellar: ‘I wanted to set an example for my daughter; that’s something that shifted for me.
‘One day I was like, “What am I doing? This isn’t right.” And I would hate if she was ever in this situation.’
She continued: ‘You have to do what is right for you at the end of the day.
‘No matter the number of promises or anything else that people make, when they show you who they are, believe them. Because you can’t change people.’
Simone also said she is content raising Gia alone and that she is confident she made the right choice.
‘I’ve never felt more sure of anything, and I know I can do it by myself,’ she said.
‘It’s unfortunate that I’m mostly having to do it by myself, but I couldn’t think of it any other way, really.
‘What I’m doing just feels very right for me. The most important thing to me is that Gia is happy and healthy, and that I’m happy too.’

Simone and Jono first started dating back in 2022, months after Jono confirmed his split from his longtime partner Amy.
Celebrity personal trainers Jono and Amy were high school sweethearts, but divorced in 2021 after 15 years together.
Simone confirmed she and Jono were expecting their first child together in October last year, and welcomed Gia into the world on Easter Sunday, March 31.
Jono has since moved on with fashion designer Nilofar Khirzad.
The new couple went Instagram official with their relationship as Nilofar shared a photograph of them sharing a kiss during a night out in Sydney’s eastern suburbs.
Jono sparked rumours he was involved in a new relationship after he was spotted liking and leaving very flirty comments on Nilofar’s Instagram posts in October.
