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.

Baby Photographer – Padraic – Ashley McNamara – San Diego Photographer

I love my job.. I’ll say it again… I.LOVE.MY.JOB!

A lot of people ask me if I have a studio and the answer is, No, I don’t but it is by choice.

I love  shooting in peoples homes, I love that each shoot is different, and my clients have such fabulous taste! Which leads me to little Padraic, his parents crib was pretty awesome.. Check out the orange sofa!

Following Ava as she grows through her first year.  She is now almost 8 months old and one of the daintiest babies I have ever met.  I just love her to bits!

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.

 

 

Welcome Baby Anthony – Ashley McNamara – San Diego Newborn Photographer

 

One moment I’m on a Maternity shoot with a woman who is glowing with excitment and the next I’m on a shoot capturing the raw beauty of a new Mother cuddling her precious bundle of joy. Just ten days ago little Anthony came into the world and I had the priviledge of coming and taking some photographs with him and his family.
 
Congratulations Anya and Brian! Enjoy your sneak peak!
Mother and Grandmother..

 

Back to Baby Photography – Ashley McNamara – San Diego Photographer

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!

 

Two M&M’s – Ashley McNamara – San Diego Photographer

That’s the going rate to take a toddlers picture..or at least its my kids going rate. I suppose it could be worse. :)

 I have decided that I don’t share enough of MY kids on my blog. I mean they are pretty cute or at least I think so.

 I want to share a couple of pictures of my little guy…When I found out I was having a boy I told myself that he would not have long hair. When I imagined long hair on a boy I imagined the bowl cut…there was NO way I was going to let that happen so I told myself that when he was old enough to have a hair cut we would give him a buzz cut and we did…

This year though I decided that I was going to grow it out..I mean after all we do live in Sunny San Diego and I figured that we would go for that little surfer kid look this year…Let me just tell you..I am LOVING it. I really wish I had done it sooner. He has had a buzz cut for so long that I didn’t know he had curls!!! I spent the last two years wasting those curls. Sigh…

Cover Image – Ashley McNamara – San Diego Photographer

Yay a COVER! This is so exciting for me. I have been published a few times but never on the cover. I was contacted a few months ago by Oh Baby Magazine  to use a picture for their upcoming issue (it has been so hard not blogging about it already) Oh Baby Magazine is a small Canadian publication catering to Moms, their magazine is dedicated to providing readers with information to support them through pre-conception, during pregnancy, and throughout their child’s early years.
