Family Photography – Holland Family – Ashley McNamara San Francisco Photographer

Ashley McNamara — Thu, 08 Sep 2011 02:14:14 +0000

Better late than never?

During my last trip to San Diego in July I had the pleasure of photographing the Holland family.

They come all the way from Texas for their shoots and of course some vacation. I’ve photographed the Hollands once before when their oldest was just a baby and now their family has grown +1 but don’t let those chubby cheeks and bouncy curls fool you that little one is a feisty one but oh, oh, so cute.

What happened to 2009? I cannot believe it is almost over. I swear the older I get the faster time fly’s.

Christmas time is my favorite time of year.. What’s not to like? Eggnog, Hot Chocolate, Presents, Snow, and did I say presents?

I like everything besides that 10 extra pounds I gain eating baked goods. As soon as it starts getting cold I get the urge to bake, I don’t know why because I don’t bake any other time of the year except during the Holiday’s and if one day goes by that my house doesn’t smell like fresh baked cookies it feels weird. I made sugar cookies today, nuff said.

I never post personal things on my blog, mostly, because I was always so busy but since my move to the Bay area I am enjoying some down time for the first time in four years and it feels good to be able to spend some quality time with my kids and actually take some pictures of the little boogers.

This year I decided that our tree wasn’t eccentric enough and while I was shopping at Target I found the perfect tree topper, Yoda! Tell me that Yoda isn’t rad?!

My daughter, who doesn’t let me take her picture as often as I would like. She thought she looked cute today and decided to give me 5mins so I took 10 and then she pouted but I like it anyway. One of the things I missed most about the bay area was the fog.. oh how I missed you fog. Looks good in pictures too.

One of the awesome things about owning your own business is that I get to pick the coolest products to offer my clients. I blog about our albums a lot and wanted to share something a little different. One of our most sought after products is the image box. Your image box is custom designed to fit your decor and comes with bordered 5×7 images from your session.

Not to exclude our fabulous albums we are now offering an even bigger variety of fun colors!

I am almost done with this round of San Diego sessions. This shoot wrapped up an awesome year with the Brocious family and I am so excited to be their photographer next year since they have a little BOY on the way. I cannot wait to see what she does with blue because it has been all sugar and spice so far.

It is official, In the last two weeks we have moved from San Diego to the Bay area. It was a long drive and I am still SWIMMING in boxes but things are falling into place. It has also been a really long time since I have lived in the bay and it was easy to get used to the sun in San Diego… buuuurrrr it’s cold here!

Before I left San Diego I took on a few last minute sessions with my good friend, Marie, who was dying to shoot on the beach. We went to my favorite spot with some of my favorite clients. I cannot wait to get back to San Diego for more sessions.

I feel like it has been forever since I have blogged!

I am sure you have seen the buzz around the Internet about the awesome segment on the Today Show about newborn photography. I was so excited to see something I am so passionate in take center stage, I appreciated all of the emails from clients asking me if I had seen it and telling me that the segment reminded them of me. I am super flattered. I am excited for the photographer profiled and this amazing publicity she received but I am also super excited to see child photographers in the limelight. If you have some time check it out.

Family Photographer – Maddie – Ashley McNamara – Bay Area Photographer

This is Maddie and she is a MOVER, all Maddie wanted was “wa wa” that is water in big people speak.

After making funny voices, bopping myself on the head, and blowing bubbles didn’t work I decided that it was time to put on the fisheye and let Maddie enjoy some time in the water and I am glad I did because that is when Maddie loosened up, plus I ADORE fisheye pictures.

Ann, I know you’re excited!!! I hope you love them!

This is right before she took a tumble into the water…
