Williams Family Session - Ashley McNamara - San Diego Photographer

July 8, 2008 – 9:14 pm

One of the best things about living in San Diego is that we are a vacation destination!! This means I get to shoot people from ALL over!

The Williams family come to us from Indiana and I seriously wanted to put them all in my pocket and take them home..

I loved them soooo much that we made our session a two parter! haha!

The littliest William (Logan) REALLY wanted to be on my “website” which I think means my blog…so I have an extra special picture for him.. Logan was particularly good at armpit farts…Now let me tell you, armpit farts require special skills so he was super proud of himself…As he should be..

So without further ado, Williams family enjoy your sneak peek! 

Logan demonstrating his special skills..

Jackson and his SUPERMODEL looks.

 

Breaking eachothers fingers…good times. HAHA!!!

Because pretty soon - Ashley McNamara - San Diego Photographer

July 3, 2008 – 12:37 pm

My baby will be too big for shirtless overalls…

Each year as I near closer to my babies birthday I realize that before I know it he is not going to be a baby anymore…I finally came to accept that he is two and no longer one and now three is creeping up on me. It’s just NOT fair!!!

People always say “cherish the moments because they grow up so fast.” This is so very true. Everyday he does something new and just yesterday I said “come here baby!” and he said “Mommy, I not a baby anymore.”  It just breaks my heart.

So today I wanted to take a picture of my BABY! A little moment frozen in time so when he does grow up on me I can look back and smile.

 

I love being a photographer…

Good to be back - Ashley McNamara - San Diego Photographer

June 30, 2008 – 8:59 pm

Did anyone miss me?

I have been on “vacation” for the last three weeks, who knew vacation could be so exhausting..hence the quotes..

While on vacation my good friend Pam Biasotti asked me if I would take some pictures of her and her pup Riley and even though I was sooo totally sick and could barely say a word because my throat hurt soooooo bad!!! it was a blast.

If you don’t know Pam check her out here..

I had the pleasure of shooting 10yr old Ally on Thursday…soooo cute.

Doesn’t she look like the next Lindsay Lohan? You know, like Lindsay in her Parent Trap days…no so much anymore..Don’t even get me started…

Anyhow, the spiders and thorns were worth it I am loving these shots and Ally was up for anything!  

Nancy, enjoy your sneak peek..Sorry it took so long! :)

 

She lost a tooth 2 days before the shoot hehehe.

Its been a little while since I have done a newborn session and this little girlie was sooo good to me. She hardly peeped the whole session and when she did it was because I was man-handling her HEHEHE…She was such a trooper and soo alert! I swear she was posing for me. ;)

Enjoy your sneak peek Jesse and Sarah!

Mikela - Ashley McNamara - San Diego Photographer

May 14, 2008 – 11:22 am

 

With Mikela my intention was to shoot at the beach but when we got there it was still super bright so while we were waiting for the sun to drop a bit we were chatting about cool places to shoot and Mikela’s dad mentions this abandoned house with graffiti and my eyes must have lit up because he goes..”follow me, lets head over” On the way he pointed out a bunch of other really cool spots.. (Favorited every single one in my GPS ;))

Let me just say you know your a professional photographer when your breaking into Private property for pictures..Not only are you breaking in but to break in you have to climb a 5ft fence..Now anyone who knows me is probably laughing pretty hard imagining ME hoisting myself up and over a fence and believe me it was no easy feat but totally worth it. Everything I needed was right there! Flowers, Long grass, and Graffiti!! So cool!

It was fun Mikela!! Enjoy your sneak peek!

Urban Ballerina - Ashley McNamara - San Diego Photographer

May 5, 2008 – 9:24 am

OK, so I have been doing senior sessions all week..obviously…Have I mentioned how much I LOOOOVE IT??? ACK! I love it!

Anyway, I have been excited about this session ALL WEEK!!! This is Joy and when Joy’s mom told me she was a ballerina I almost died!! I know I have done my fair share of urban seniors for the year but I knew that this HAD TO BE AN URBAN SESSION!! Urban Ballerina! How stinkin’ cool is that?

When Joy showed up I was completely giddy…she brought a basket of cool digs and then right on top were the ballet slippers…sigh…L O V E! I think I told her she “had me at hello..”

I have LOADS of awesome pictures but I can only show a few…Maybe more later. ;)

She started off kind of awkward..I was a little worried. ;)

Nalani - Ashley McNamara - San Diego Photographer

May 3, 2008 – 10:05 am

Another day another beautiful senior girl to shoot! This week has been so crazy for me, shoot after shoot..but its also been a blast and while I am only working off of about 3 hours of sleep a night I am surprisingly chipper. That could be due to the 5 Pepsi’s I have had this morning though. 

Anyhow, I thought I would share a couple of pictures..I am such a bad blogger this week..no words but lots of pictures..hehe. I will try to get better I promise.

 

These next two crack me up. She has such an awesome smile but I wanted a couple of non smiling shots too..so I asked her not to smile and she had the absolute hardest time not smiling heheh! So after about a dozen shots of trying not to smile and it not working out we ended up with this one and when I saw it I said.. “oh that was fierce!” and that resulted in the next shot :)

 

 

 

I have to think about making these pictures a WEE bit smaller huh? lol
