Bay Area Photographer – Ashley McNamara

Poor neglected blog, Living in the bay is a little weird. There is a ton of rain here!  I have been spoiled by the constant sunshine in San Diego and have only had to rescheduled one shoot due to rain in the four years I lived there. Since moving here I have had to reschedule four! It’s a learning process.

On that note, I have been getting a lot of inquiries where the first question is always, “where are you located?” I want to take a moment to clear up some confusion. I am located in the Bay Area, However, I also service San Diego. I know it is a little confusing but I spend most of my time in the Bay and I fly to San Diego every 3 months for shoots.

To get things rolling in the bay area I am offering a special (check out the flyer below).  This is for bay area clients only. To book your  session email ashley@ashleymcnamara.com

Child Photographer – Erika – Ashley McNamara – Danville – Photographer

Whew.. I have completed my first Bay Area shoot and boy am I relieved. As I was driving to Danville the sky was cloudy and off in the distance were some really ugly storm clouds and I thought for sure that this shoot was going to be a bust but there was no way I was letting a little rain ruin this shoot for me… I was going to have some fun in spite of it!

As it turns out this Bay Area fogginess makes for the most perfect soft light. Here I was.. worried sick about change, I didn’t have my sunny San Diego sky, I didn’t have my normal locations, and I didn’t have the pier!  Here I was worried about the quality of light and all of this time spent worrying, I missed out on some pretty awesome stuff. I shot in one square blog about 3 mins from my house.. In San Diego it would have been at least 25mins of driving to get all of these cool textures. They say change is good, I think they’re right.

Child Photographer – Ally – Ashley McNamara – Bay Area – Photographer

This is the last of my sessions as a San Diego resident and I am feeling a big nostalgic. Before I left San Diego my good friend Marie came to visit me and made me promise by penalty of a smack down to take her to my favorite beach. Marie lives on the east coast and I am not biased or anything but the California beaches kick all other beaches butts.

Marie had criteria though she wasn’t just going to shoot any ole person, she wanted to do a kid’s shoot on the beach with a surfboard kind of Roxy style. I did some digging in old client files and found Ally, who doesn’t love a redhead? We had so much fun and Ally was a good sport because it was probably the coldest I have ever been in San Diego, it was ffffreezing!

Note: For those of you asking when i’ll be back in San Diego the answer is January. I’ll be keeping everyone informed via my newsletter. If you are not a member send me an email and I will add you to the list. You can also email me to book your spot now before someone else does! :)
