Bay Area Child Photography – Ally and Carlie – Ashley McNamara Photography

August 21, 2010 7:17 am

Where do I start? Ally and Carlie are cousins and for the last couple of years I have had the pleasure of not only photographing these talented girls but I have watched them grow into beautiful young ladies.

Ally’s mom, Nancy and her sister Mary have me photograph the girls once a year to update their headshots and it wasn’t until this shoot that I was a little sad for Nancy and Mary because their little girls are no longer little girls and I know exactly how they feel… 12 now isn’t what 12 was when I was a kid, no more milk kids! You’re growing up too fast!

Nancy asked me if I would stop by the gym on my way downtown to take some shots of Ally and Carlie and holy amazing strength.

30+ comments will get Ally and Carlie a cute gift! Leave them some love.

Fremont Photographer – Elise – Ashley McNamara Photography

June 29, 2010 10:45 am

Over the weekend I spent the evening with the Koo family in Fremont I have only been to Fremont one other time so I didn’t know what to expect location wise, we ended up on this huge hill overlooking all of Fremont it was beautiful. It’s been so much fun exploring my new area and working in new locations it makes things feel fresh again. Little Miss Elise Koo was the focus of the session and obviously she couldn’t be any cuter, my little button pusher, she is a photographer in the making.

As always 30+ comments will get the Koo family a cool gift! Leave them some LOVE!

Bay Area Child Photographer – Alexandra – Ashley McNamara Photography

April 12, 2010 9:35 am

Since moving to the Bay Area I have been dying to do a shoot in the City so when Alexandra’s grandma called me to book a shoot I was super stoked.

On the day of the shoot it was rainy (as are most days here lately) and I was so bummed. I thought for sure I was going to have to reschedule but decided on a whim to just go ahead and try anyways. I am so glad I did. When I got there the sun peeked out just long enough for us to complete the session. We started in china town and ended at the warf with some ice cream. When were were ending the shoot Alexandra says to me, ” you’re the best photographer ever!” I promised I was going to quote her on that.

Child Photographer – Erika – Ashley McNamara – Danville – Photographer

January 2, 2010 11:02 am

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 – Zavi and Jakai – Ashley McNamara – San Diego Photographer

August 13, 2009 10:44 am

It has been a long and busy couple of months and I have been not so patiently waiting to process pictures from my trip to Raleigh, NC

I was there for my good friend Marie Cox who was going into surgery to have a hysterectomy.. CANCER SUCKS! I wanted to be there to help out, entertain the kids, and eat boberry biscuits ummmmmmm biscuits.. Did I just type that?

While I was there I took some pictures of Marie’s awesome albeit big headed children minus the oldest Tayvonne who wouldn’t dare be photographed, I’ll get you next time Tay.. I was there for 5 days [I think] and I took 1600 pictures 90% of them were of Zavia that girl is my muse.. I love her.

Here are some pictures from my trip and this is what 3000 in a plane looks like..

Jakai, I miss your cute and cuddly self.

Within the first 5 seconds I was in the door Jakai was hanging on my leg and every morning he would sit in my lap and play with my hair.

Zavia, I miss your sweet dance moves.

Zavia is a self proclaimed diva. While Jakai was fixing my hair, Zavia was listening to music on my laptop or begging me to take video of her dancing… err… I mean make music videos.

Raleigh was a good time.. I did a couple of shoots while I was there one with the awesome Heather Love and had some super BBQ at The Pit [check it out] with my friend Gretchen Mathison, thanks everyone for showing me an awesome time and thanks Marie for letting me crash your house.
