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 ago :)  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.

Newborn Photography on the Today Show – Ashley McNamara – Bay Area Photographer

I am sure you have seen the buzz around the Internet about the awesome segment on the Today Show about newborn photography. I was so excited to see something I am so passionate in take center stage, I appreciated all of the emails from clients asking me if I had seen it and telling me that the segment reminded them of me. I am super flattered. I am excited for the photographer profiled and this amazing publicity she received but I am also super excited to see child photographers in the limelight. If you have some time check it out.

Baby Photographer – Little Ren – Ashley McNamara – Bay Area Photographer

I have said it time and time again but I am going to say it again.. THIS is why I love shooting on location.

The Porter house was awesome! Super retro, I just love capturing everyone’s unique style.  The best thing is that they were up for all of my silly ideas as long as it was “not posey” which I think is great because lifestyle is my favorite way to shoot. The focus of this shoot was little Ren who is 8 weeks old and he is quite possibly the cutest 8 week old I have ever seen.

Jennifer and Brian enjoy your sneak peek!

Baby Photographer – Ashley McNamara – San Diego Photographer

When Qi emiled me to book a session for her 3 month old to celebrate her first 100 days I was super excited! I don’t know what was in the water last year but there are nothing but boys being born around here lately and it was really fun to have a change of pace.  Not only is this little miss adorable but she  is a chunker and there is nothing cuter than a baby roll.

Newborn Photography – Baby Will – Ashley McNamara – San Diego Photographer

A couple of weeks ago I had the pleasure of shooting Shannon’s maternity pictures (you can see below)  and now it is time for baby images!

Little Will was born on July16th and is such a little love. He wasn’t too sleepy when I showed up so we cranked the heat up to 90 and he melted right into the blanket for some shots. I think we all melted a little as well.

Newborn Photography – Little Will – Ashley McNamara – San Diego Photographer

This is William and William is one of the easiest babies I have ever photographed!! He was so sleepy and cuddly. I just love that!  Today is my last day in San Diego and I promised that I would get a blog post up before I left so I am lacking words but who wants to listen to me babble on when there are cute baby pictures, anyway!

Newborn Photography – Little Ryder – Ashley McNamara – San Diego Photographer

Babies are cute. Babies are adorable. Babies take your breath away. And little Ryder 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. 

Side note: isn’t this the most beautifully decorated house ever?!?

The Samburu Project and Baby Adrian – Ashley McNamara – San Diego Baby Photographer

 
This is Adrian and Adrian is quite possibly one of the cutest kids I have ever seen! This  little guy was shaker and a mover… He was all over the place! We shot for two hours and he was such a trooper! 

While chatting with Adrian’s mom, Kristen, she mentioned that she worked for a non-profit organization called the Samburu Project. She told me a bit about it and and when I got home I did a little research.

Kristen is so humble. She actually founded this wonderful organization that drills wells for fresh drinking water in a remote area of northern Kenya.

I find it truly amazing that Kristen has dedicated herself to something so special so I wanted to also include some information about the samburu project. If you have some time please take a look because it is really awesome. There is also a page where you can donate to the cause.

Little Leela – Ashley McNamara – San Diego Baby Photographer

This precious little one is Leela and she is just too cute for words.. I thought about trying to smuggle her away in my camera bag, but thought better of it … I’m pretty sure her Mama wouldn’t have approved.

 

 

Baby Cody – Ashley McNamara – San Diego Newborn Photographer

 

It wasn’t so very long ago that I was at this very home shooting little Sophie as a newborn, now I’ve had the priveledge of revisiting this wonderful family to document their newest addition, “Co-ey”, as little Sophie dubbs him. This little guy is all sorts of cute and was such a champ for his big debut! It was doubly the treat as I got to see how big his ”little” sister has grown in the last 24 months!
 
Enjoy the Sneak Peak Guys
