Fremont Photographer – Elise – Ashley McNamara Photography

Over the weekend I spent the evening with the Koo family in Fremont I have only been to Fremont one other time so I didn’t know what to expect location wise, we ended up on this huge hill overlooking all of Fremont it was beautiful. It’s been so much fun exploring my new area and working in new locations it makes things feel fresh again. Little Miss Elise Koo was the focus of the session and obviously she couldn’t be any cuter, my little button pusher, she is a photographer in the making.

As always 30+ comments will get the Koo family a cool gift! Leave them some LOVE!

San Francisco/Napa Photographer – Fresh Sugar – Ashley McNamara Photography

I had the most amazing weekend making new friends and traveling around Napa for wine tastings.

I admit that I am not a lover of wine. . . Don’t get me wrong, I would love to love wine because what’s more grown up than ordering a Cabernet Sauvignon at dinner?  I would love to love it but I just can’t get past the taste. That said, the experience of it all was awesome, I learned a lot and I drank so much wine that it might be growing on me a little. The reason I was in Napa was to visit my good friend Brandy of Fresh Sugar Photography and she was in town for a NAPCP event and I was lucky enough to be able to tag along for some of their social events AKA wine tasting. Besides partying and drinking I did a shoot for Brandy and her husband Dave and I think it was the most fun shooting ever. Brandy, I hope I did you justice and I miss your face already.

Bay Area Newborn Photographer – Kinley – Ashley McNamara Photography

A couple of weeks ago I flew to Memphis to meet my best friends baby, Kinley. . .  She was more precious than I could have ever imagined I just love her. I spent about a week in memphis exploring and enjoying the constant heat and humidity;)I don’t know how you Tennesseans do it, it was brutal!

One thing the heat is good for is shooting newborn photo’s outside. I can’t do that in the bay so I was pretty excited about that possibility. Early one evening we went on a drive to scout out locations and came across this abandoned house with this awesome barn in the back. . .  it was perfect! We decided to stop and shoot, I was setting everything up when my feet started to burn. . .  I looked down and my feet were covered in fire ants and they were chewing my poor feet to pieces, so now we have heat, humidity, and bugs if it weren’t for that sweet southern hospitality and the best pulled pork sandwich I have ever had it might have been almost miserable. Note to self: Memphis in the summer isn’t so rad. Next time I think I will make a winter trip.

Lindsay, I miss you already.

San Francisco Newborn Photographer – Charlie – Ashley McNamara Photography

Meet the oh so adorable Charlie. A few days before leaving for my vacation Charlie’s aunt called me to book a session. Mom and Charlie were still in the hospital (which is the perfect time to book by the way). I shot the session the day before leaving and didn’t have a chance to go through the pictures before I left and I was dying to see them because Charlie was a complete angel, He was asleep when I got there, slept through the whole session, and was still sleeping when I left. It almost didn’t feel like work.

Chelene you’re one lucky mommy! Charlie is just a complete joy. Enjoy your sneak peek!

30+ comments will get Chelene a super cute gift! Leave a little love!

Bay Area Baby Photographer – Ren – Ashley McNamara Photography

I always love shooting at the Porter house because they have such great taste, it’s unique and modern and I love that.

Last time I saw Ren he was just a little guy and now he is nearly walking. I always say it but it’s amazing how fast they grow up and it just goes to show how important pictures are. Ren wasn’t so sure about me at first but we quickly bonded over gerber puffs and by the end we were best friends.

30+ comments will get the Porters a free 5×7. Leave a little love for them!
