Last week I had the pleasure of snuggling up with.. ahem… I mean photographing little Jodi. She is such a sweet little soul and put up with my squeezing, poking, and squishing like a champ. We shot at Jodi’s grandfathers home in Saratoga which was super cool because the home has been in the family for 100 years.

Brandi and Brett I hope you’re getting enough sleep! Thanks for being patient and enjoy your sneak peek!

30+ comments will get little Jodi an cute gift! Leave her some love.

She has the best lips ever..

My little man is growing up, no he isn’t mine but I love love love the Brocious kids like they are and cannot imagine not being in their lives. After two years documenting them every 2 months I truly adore the entire family and they couldn’t get rid of me if the tried.

Ashton is 5 months old now and the happiest, cuddliest, and sweetest baby you have ever met. He also loves the camera… loves to slime it that is, speaking of that.. I have some lenses to clean.

I have been photographing little will since before he was born (since I did his mom’s maternity photos) He has been the sweetest, happiest, little soul and I just adore him.

Will just turned one and I couldn’t wait to see him while I was working in San Diego, we decided to shoot downtown near the airport which is fitting because Will’s daddy is a pilot for JetBlue.

Cuteness overload below.. I know you’re wondering because I was. All of Wills outfits are from H&M he looks stylin’, right?!

Bay Area Baby Photographer – Lyla Scout – Ashley McNamara Photography

As a photographer I get a lot of sales calls, “I can get you the #1 spot on google!”, “I can process your images!”, “I promise to get you so much business your head will spin!”, so when Kimberly called me to book a session for her 9 week old daughter I didn’t realize until half way through the conversation that she was actually calling to book a session and I had completely tuned her out because she had the most wonderful phone voice ever. I was certain she was a telemarketer. I think I might have her call me and read me bedtime stories.

When I arrived at Kimberly’s home I soon realized that Kimberly herself was just as wonderful as her soothing telephone voice. Kimberly and her husband Scott adopted little Lyla Scout in June and I didn’t realize that she was indeed adopted until I gushed over Kimberly’s fit figure because Lyla looks just like her!

Lyla is the most adorable thing I have ever seen. I was kind of obsessed with her head of hair. I don’t know if you can handle the adorableness below so proceed with caution!

As always 30+ comments will get Kimberly and Scott an adorable gift!

Ashley McNamara — Mon, 14 Sep 2009 21:07:08 +0000

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…

Baby Photographer – Padraic – Ashley McNamara – Bay Area Photographer

Ashley McNamara — Thu, 10 Sep 2009 16:07:15 +0000

You might recognize this little face from a few months back. Padraic is now 9 months old and is getting cuter by the second. I just love this age because they are so expressive but they are not moving around so basically that makes them PERFECT!

Keep an eye out for Padraic in a couple of months! Awesome watching you grow, little guy.

Baby Photographer – Little Ren – Ashley McNamara – Bay Area Photographer

Ashley McNamara — Thu, 03 Sep 2009 18:30:15 +0000

I have said it time and time again but I am going to say it again.. THIS is why I love shooting on location.

The Porter house was awesome! Super retro, I just love capturing everyone’s unique style. The best thing is that they were up for all of my silly ideas as long as it was “not posey” which I think is great because lifestyle is my favorite way to shoot. The focus of this shoot was little Ren who is 8 weeks old and he is quite possibly the cutest 8 week old I have ever seen.

Jennifer and Brian enjoy your sneak peek!

Event Photographer – Ava’s Bash – Ashley McNamara – Danville Photographer

Ashley McNamara — Wed, 02 Sep 2009 20:24:20 +0000

Ava is officially ONE! This year went by so quick… it seems like just yesterday I was taking Ava’s newborn photos!

Sunday was the big bash and I was sooo excited because Orousha always has the best parties with help from Sam her fabulous coordinator. I always wonder how Orousha will top the last party but she always comes through. I am secretly hoping her next baby is a boy just to see what she does at his first birthday.
