Sheer Addiction – Giveaway – Ashley McNamara – San Francisco Photographer

If you haven’t heard of Tamara Lines and Sheer Addiction you have seriously been missing out.

Tamara is a brilliant jewelry designer located in Hudson, WI,  her pieces remind me of Anthropologie jewelry but way better quality. In her own words, Tamara’s “style in jewelry design consists of combining unique elements such as; pieces from old doors and mirrors for their ornate detail, original stamped molds from Paris for their depth and richness, and vintage crystals and ribbons to soften the bold design.”

I personally own two pieces of Sheer Addiction jewelry (you can see my latest goodie pictured below). What I love about her pieces is that they are not mass produced. You will not see someone in the mall with the same necklace.. it’s unique and personal. Tamara has been generous enough let me give away one of her new pieces!  I am soooo excited to share it.

Baby Brose – Ashley McNamara – San Francisco Photographer

ahhhh… the smell of a newborn baby is like heaven.

My photographer friend Brianne just had a baby and I was so bummed because I thought I wasn’t going to be able make it to San Diego to photograph her.

I mean it wasn’t like she needed me  because she was in very good hands…  Little Marlowe has been photographed by some awesome photographers since her arrival just 3 weeks agoicon smile Baby Brose   Ashley McNamara   San Francisco Photographer luckily,  I was  able to hop on a flight with my husband for an overnight trip and I took the opportunity to crash Briannes place and photograph her little sweetie. Unfortunately, I got in super late and only had 45 Min’s but I was able to get a couple of keepers.

IPhone Photography – Whoda thunk it? – Ashley McNamara

The iPhone is the most awesome phone ever! Who ever says it isn’t is lying!icon smile IPhone Photography   Whoda thunk it?   Ashley McNamara

It literally does do everything. I have to tell you though, I wasn’t really digging the camera but who cares its a phone. I had a couple of photo apps that I would play around with but I wasn’t really impressed with the results but like I said, it’s a phone so I wasn’t expecting miracles or anything.

Well, two weeks ago my friend, Amy Boring was in town and I thought it would be fun to hang out in San Francisco. She had been taking pictures with this super cool iPhone app and of course I asked what it was, she tells me, “shake it photo” so I download it and start playing… it’s blowing my mind. Love it, love it, love it.

I brought my 5D Mark II to the city for some shots but the poor thing never left the bag because that app is addicting! Since then, I have taken no less than 300 photos, it’s quickly becoming a problem.. if you have me as a facebook friend you already know this and are thoroughly sick of seeing all of my mobile uploads. For those of you who are not sick of me… Here are some of my favorites.

Side note: there is this cool contest going by Adorama for iPhone photo’s if you’re as addicted as I am check it out.
