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…

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.

Pirraglia Family - Ashley McNamara - San Diego Photographer

Can I start by saying how much I love this family? This is the third time I have shot for them…I know, your jealous right? they are GORGEOUS! hehe… 

 I had a super hard time narrowing down the sneak peek because honestly, I love every single picture…sigh…So much so that I just spent the last six hours with my face in the computer screen editing these shots! oy..I have a headache!

Little side note–when I was editing my two year old son jumped up in my lap, pointed at the screen and said “Ohhhh pretty baby, I LOVE HER!” Leslie, how do you feel about arranged marriages? Because I love her too. :)

 It was so much fun guys! Enjoy your peek!

Session outtake - Ashley McNamara - San Diego Photographer

Newborn shoots are a blast but there are always obstacles …one of which is poop and pee my clients are almost always mortified that their baby just exploded all over my fur rug.

First there is panic and a mad dash for the baby wipes, then I am sure there is worry..”is this woman going to invoice me for a new rug”, then there are apologies, “I am soo soo sorry.” almost always they are the same..

 Never fear! everything is washable..and your baby isn’t the only baby to leave their mark…and I am positive they will not be the last.

Here is an out take from my last session…Don’t worry no one was harmed during the making of this photo. hehe

Newborn Baby Cayson - Ashley McNamara - San Diego Photographer

You may recognize this mom from the maternity boudoir shots below…Well, her little bundle of joy came into the world on February 26. at 8 lbs 10oz,  it is hard to believe that a baby that big came out of that tiny belly!! :)

 ..and on top of all that can you believe that she is a mother to three children?? For crying out loud I wasn’t that fit after just one baby! ;)

 Anyways…back on topic  :) I got the opportunity to photograph Kristin, her little man, and her beautiful four year old girl today and I loved every single second! While taking mom and baby shots her four year old waited not so patiently to hold her brother she was so excited when it was her turn and as you can see she is just in love with him!
