Baby Cole – Ashley McNamara – San Diego Baby Photographer

TOUCHDOWN!

When I showed up at the Hager house the whole family was watching football and when I saw Cole I immediately thought, Future football player. Cole is only two months old (Shocking I know!) Look at that head control. He was so good to me though! He didn’t fuss one bit he was all giggles and coo’s. I couldn’t ask for more.

(Edited to add technical info: Shot with Canon 40D using available light, lenses used were 50mm 1.4 and 24-70 2.8L, ISO 200-400, SS 1/100th – 1/250th, F/1.4-5.6)

Baby Ava – Ashley McNamara – San Diego Newborn Photographer

A hatter, but not of the mad Variety!

When I told Orousha that I enjoyed using hats in my infant shoots, she took me at my word and

upon my arrival she presented me with not one, not two, but a smorgasbord of hats! Flower hats, bunny hats, small hats, big hats, er..well, you get the idea, there were a lot of hats!. (Makes me wonder if Orousha isn’t a milliner in her free time!) All the same, they were beautiful and added even more to an already amazing photo shoot!

That’s not to say little Ava needs ”props” to enhance her beauty, just look at that head of hair! She’s a knockout already!

It’s going to be an amazing year watching Ava grow and you can rest assured there will be plenty of hats along for the ride.

Baby Leonardo – Ashley McNamara – San Diego Photographer

Busy as a bee, So busy you can’t see straight, busy as a beaver, whatever cliche you prefer, you can pretty much guarantee it’s my personal mantra of late. I suppose I can’t compain about being busy when all of my time is being spent photographing some of the cutest babies in California.

Babies are cute. Babies are adorable. Babies take your breath away. And little Leonardo is no exception, this precious little guy is beyond words. If cuteness were weighed by the pound, he’d tip the scales! I thought about trying to smuggle him away in my camera bag, but thought better of it … I’m pretty sure his Mama wouldn’t have approved.

And what is that adorable concoction little Leonardo is wrapped in you might ask yourself? It is the almost famous Cocoon made by good friend Marta. A life saver for all new mom’s who haven’t mastered the art of baby wrapping. This soft cocoon takes out all of the guesswork and is pretty cute to boot. You can check them out here.

Bellies and Babies – Ashley McNamara – San Diego Maternity Photographer

On your mark, get set.. SCHOOL!

While most folks are sad to see the summer days slipping by, I’m quietly rooting for Autumn to make it’s grand appearance. I’ll be much happier snuggling up in a comfy sweater than fanning myself in shorts and flip flops.

Not that this summer wasn’t spectacular, there were plenty of bellies, lots of babies and I had the immense pleasure of working with some new clients! I couldn’t have asked for more!

Hopefully Autumn will be just as eventful, with Anabell and Ricardo expecting their first little boy, I can only imagine how much fun we’re going to have when I’m finally able to meet him.
