Hey folks. I am still playing catch up around here..I only have one to share today but I figured it was better than nothing. 
This little guy didn’t want anything to do with that hat but I just loved the way his sweet ittle round face looked in it.

I am falling a little behind on my blogging lately..it has been a bit busy around here I will try to catch up on my blogging this week.
This little guy is four weeks old and I was pretty convinced he would be too old to do any of the newborn “curled up” shots but much to my surprise he was an angel and slept for half the session.

TOUCHDOWN!
When I showed up at the Hager house the whole family was watching football and when I saw Cole I immediately thought, Future football player. Cole is only two months old (Shocking I know!) Look at that head control. He was so good to me though! He didn’t fuss one bit he was all giggles and coo’s. I couldn’t ask for more.
(Edited to add technical info: Shot with Canon 40D using available light, lenses used were 50mm 1.4 and 24-70 2.8L, ISO 200-400, SS 1/100th - 1/250th, F/1.4-5.6)

A hatter, but not of the mad Variety!
When I told Orousha that I enjoyed using hats in my infant shoots, she took me at my word and
upon my arrival she presented me with not one, not two, but a smorgasbord of hats! Flower hats, bunny hats, small hats, big hats, er..well, you get the idea, there were a lot of hats!. (Makes me wonder if Orousha isn’t a milliner in her free time!) All the same, they were beautiful and added even more to an already amazing photo shoot!
That’s not to say little Ava needs ”props” to enhance her beauty, just look at that head of hair! She’s a knockout already!
It’s going to be an amazing year watching Ava grow and you can rest assured there will be plenty of hats along for the ride.
I just had to include this picture of Ava’s big sister Asha..I love this little girl!

Busy as a bee, So busy you can’t see straight, busy as a beaver, whatever cliche you prefer, you can pretty much guarantee it’s my personal mantra of late. I suppose I can’t compain about being busy when all of my time is being spent photographing some of the cutest babies in California.
Babies are cute. Babies are adorable. Babies take your breath away. And little Leonardo 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.
And what is that adorable concoction little Leonardo is wrapped in you might ask yourself? It is the almost famous Cocoon made by good friend Marta. A life saver for all new mom’s who haven’t mastered the art of baby wrapping. This soft cocoon takes out all of the guesswork and is pretty cute to boot. You can check them out here.

Finally!!! I finally got to meet sweet Annabelle.
I want to thank everyone for their sweet emails and for sending the Linden’s well wishes it is so appreciated. I feel so lucky to have met such a sweet family and be a part of this special time in their lives.
Annabelle gave us all a big scare but she is here, healthy, and PERFECT! I wanted to put her in my purse and take her home with me. hehe!
I have more than a few to share but I have a feeling that is ok. :)
Keep up with Annabelle HERE.
(Shot with Canon 40D 50mm 1.4 and 15mm 2.8 combo all shot between 1.4 and 2.8 ISO 400-800)
When I walked into Anabelle’s nursery I noticed this Dr. Suess book up on her bookshelf I kept looking at it because it was one I had never seen before..I thought I knew all Dr Suess books! I asked to look at it and fell in love..it is the most beautiful Dr. Suess book I have ever seen. I told Holly that I wanted “to take the pages out and frame them.” and she insisted I take the book…I love it…Thank You, Holly!!!
What are little girls made of? - Ashley McNamara - San Diego Photographer

”They’re made of ribbons and butterfly kisses and wonder at Christmas and birthday wishes and a heap of giggles and wiggles and love; these are the things little girls are made of.”
Sweet Ella is about to celebrate her first birthday. Ella and family are from the bay area and wanted to have some pictures taken before she goes and grows up on them. 
Believe me, I know the feeling.
As requested here is some info:
Shot using a Canon 40D, Lenses used 24-70 2.8L and 50mm 1.4, all shot between 1.4 and 2.8, ISO 200-600
I have gotten a couple of emails asking where I shot the “field” pictures. This shot was taken in front of a teeeny patch of grass in a shopping center where I live. I wish I could find a huge field of the stuff..if you know where one is let me know.
