Bay Area Baby Photographer – Lyla Scout – Ashley McNamara Photography

As a photographer I get a lot of sales calls, “I can get you the #1 spot on google!”, “I can process your images!”, “I promise to get you so much business your head will spin!”, so when Kimberly called me to book a session for her 9 week old daughter I didn’t realize until half way through the conversation that she was actually calling to book a session and I had completely tuned her out because she had the most wonderful phone voice ever. I was certain she was a telemarketer. I think I might have her call me and read me bedtime stories.

When I arrived at Kimberly’s home I soon realized that Kimberly herself was just as wonderful as her soothing telephone voice. Kimberly and her husband Scott adopted little Lyla Scout in June and I didn’t realize that she was indeed adopted until I gushed over Kimberly’s fit figure because Lyla looks just like her!

Lyla is the most adorable thing I have ever seen. I was kind of obsessed with her head of hair. I don’t know if you can handle the adorableness below so proceed with caution!

As always 30+ comments will get Kimberly and Scott an adorable gift!

San Francisco Newborn Photographer – Gianna – Ashley McNamara Photography

It’s baby season!

There has been a boom in the Bay Area and It’s a a good thing to because I was starting to have withdrawals from that new baby smell. Gianna was just what I needed to get my fix. I don’t know what it is about these San Francisco babies but I have been so lucky because every single one I have worked with has been sleepy and curly two of my very favorite things. Gianna was so good to me, I could have photographed her all day.

30+ comments and Reither will get a super cute gift!

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!

Baby Ashton – Bay Area Newborn Photographer – Ashley McNamara

My favorite family of four is now a family of five. I have spent the last two years photographing the Brocious family and I love them so much they are stuck with me forever.. You hear that, Brocious?:)

I wasn’t sure what this household of glitter and pink was going to do with a splash of blue but as you can see by the photos he fits in just fine. Now with three kids under three the Brocious house going to get a little crazy but I like a little crazy. Welcome to the world little Ashton Sinclair.
