Baby Pearl – San Francisco Newborn Photographer

Ashley McNamara — Mon, 10 Oct 2011 17:34:56 +0000

Baby Pearl brings out the sunshine. Literally.

On shoot day I started my drive out to the city and during the week it’s a good 3 hour drive for me. The clouds looked ominous but I was determined so I kept driving, Halfway through my drive I get a call saying, “it’s the dreariest it’s been all week, I don’t think it’s going to work out today.” I decide that since I am stuck in traffic anyways I might as well stick it out and see the light for myself, as I pull up to their house the sun comes out and stays out the entire shoot. So I say again, Pearl brings out the sunshine.

Meet Pearl

Dear Friend who made Pearl this awesome blanket. It’s awesome and it was my favorite prop.

It’s a newborn baby boy boom! Love these sweet, squishy, adorable little babies i’ve had the pleasure of snuggling with lately. Not only is little Bryce super adorable but we’ve gone the extra mile here and included his big brother, Chug! OH-EM-GEE I don’t know how I didn’t pass out from cute overload. I know Little Bryce’s mom is eager to see his sweet photos. She wanted it to be a surprise and hasn’t seen the setups yet. Enjoy, Tonya!

Look at those pinchable cheeks!

I tell my clients all the time that if it were not for my job I would have about 17 more kids. Just when I feel that twinge of baby fever I get to snuggle cute babies like little Jackson here.

Newborn Photographer – Baby Brooks – Ashley McNamara Photography

This month has been just awesome.. We moved (just down the street) and i’ve had two of the sweetest sessions. 2011 has been a busy one that’s for sure. As a little distraction from the boxes that crowd my living room I wanted to sit down and put up a blog post of the sweetest and probably the chubbiest baby I have ever photographed, Baby Brooks… I could have snuggled him all day.

Newborn Photographer – Canon – Ashley McNamara Photography

Ashley McNamara — Wed, 22 Dec 2010 20:12:26 +0000

Canon was in a rush to come into this world.. He jumped right in on his moms maternity session (you can see his birth slide show below) I thought he was perfect the day he was born but then I did his newborn session, how do you improve on perfect? Ask little Canon because he did. I brought a bucket load of hats and just couldn’t bring myself to use them because he was born with a pretty awesome hat.

Canon’s daddy has a slight comic book obsession so this is in honor of dad, err… batman.

Newborn Photographer – Marcus – Ashley McNamara Photography

Ashley McNamara — Tue, 26 Oct 2010 16:32:20 +0000

When I arrived at the D’Amelio home I was greeted by Keith and immediately noticed his chipper state so I jokingly said. “Wow, Dad, you’re well rested.” to which he replied, “Yeah, My wife is a champ at night.” I had a real good chuckle because I thought he was just being friendly for me but he really was chipper and well rested! Even so you can tell that the D’Amelio house is full of love for their new bundle, Marcus Anthony.

Little Marcus didn’t fuss one bit during all of the poking and prodding I did during our session and even grandma got in a few shots, I always love when grandma gets in the mix.

Bay Area Baby Photographer – Lyla Scout – Ashley McNamara Photography

Ashley McNamara — Fri, 20 Aug 2010 16:59:13 +0000

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!

San Francisco Newborn Photographer – Gianna – Ashley McNamara Photography

Ashley McNamara — Fri, 02 Jul 2010 20:00:14 +0000

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

Ashley McNamara — Thu, 24 Jun 2010 20:18:02 +0000

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

Ashley McNamara — Thu, 17 Jun 2010 15:17:29 +0000

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!
