HAPPY NEW YEAR!! – Ashley McNamara – San Diego Maternity Photographer

 

It could not have been more appropriate to end a spectacular year with a really fun photo shoot!
 
Maternity sessions are always so much fun for me, but I rarely find couples who have even more fun than I do! Enter Anya and Brian! What an incredible duo! They were an absolute blast and the result was one funtastic photo shoot! As a photographer they were an ideal client, up for anything and SO much to work with! As you can see, when a client is up for anything, I make sure to take advantage! We covered just about everything! 
 
Enjoy your sneak peek guys!

Happy Holidays – Ashley McNamara – San Diego Photographer

I love the Holidays!!

Last year we had Christmas in Yosemite and this year we decided to make a tradition of it and we stayed at the Evergreen Lodge it was sooo beautiful!! From what we hear it doesn’t snow much at the Evergreen Lodge but this year it was covered in the most beautuful snow I have seen since living in Montana..perfect for snowman making..

Here are a few pictures errr..snapshots of my vacation.

One of the cool things about the Lodge is that there are lots of things for the kids to do on the day we got there the kids got to decorate stockings to hang on the community mantel and “Santa” fills them on Christmas.

On the second day we took the kids on a snowshoeing expedition..this would be the first time any of us have used snowshoes.

Giving is Awesome – Ashley McNamara – San Diego Photographer

 

Give someone something special…My friends over at Essential Imagery have set up this fan-freaking-tastic site Giving is Awesome and I wanted to share the love too. 

You know someone. You know someone who’s experienced a tragedy, is struggling to stay afloat, is raising kids while holding down more than one job, or is volunteering selflessly despite extenuating personal circumstances. You know someone who can’t afford custom photography, but who would cherish it this holiday season. You know someone who deserves a year-round reminder of their family’s spirit, love, and beauty.

You know someone. I guarantee it.

I want to know who they are, and I want to give them the chance to experience complimentary custom photography – $1000 worth, to be exact. It’s in your power to give them the artwork they deserve this holiday season.

Oh, and the best part? The person who nominates the winner receives a FREE session worth $250.00. What better reason to show some love could there possibly be, people?

The rules:

* You cannot nominate yourself, and the person nominated must sincerely be incapable of purchasing my services. (Being unable to make mortgage payments for a two-million-dollar-vacation-home in Paris does not qualify as sincere financial need.)

* The nominee must reside in San Diego California. Tell me who you know, what they’re experiencing, and why they deserve my artwork. Please include a way to contact both your nominee and yourself as well.

* You must e-mail me the full story : ashley@ashleymcnamara.com

The winner will be announced on New Years Eve — get nominating! I can’t wait to read all of your entries!

Open your heart to someone this holiday season — and thanks for giving me the opportunity to open mine.

With love,

Ashley McNamara

Her “best friend” is the ceiling fan. I had to test this theory and yes, the fan is her best friend.
