Newborn Photography on the Today Show – Ashley McNamara – Bay Area Photographer

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!

Family Photographer – Love-Sanders Family – Ashley McNamara – San Diego Photographer

Whew.. It has been a long month but I am finally back in San Diego and getting back into the swing of things!

While I was out of town I had the pleasure of meeting and photographing fellow photographer Heather Love and her sweet family. It was hot, hot, hot and don’t even get me started on the mosquito’s or as Heather would say “skeeters” …  us California folks don’t have quite the bugs you east coasters do but we pushed through and got some adorable images.

I have many more images to share of my trip across the country but Heather gets a post all her own. ;)

Family Photographer – Digius Family – Ashley McNamara – San Diego Photographer

Call it a clan, call it a network, call it a tribe, call it a family:
Whatever you call it, whoever you are, you need one.
- Jane Howard

I ran across this quote shortly after I finished processing the following pictures for the Digius family and thought I’d share it. I’ve been doing family photography for some time now and it never stops amazing me that no matter the form the family comes in, it’s always so beautiful! I feel so blessed to be able to document the lives of others, it’s a truly unique and wonderful feeling.

Following Ava as she grows through her first year.  She is now almost 8 months old and one of the daintiest babies I have ever met.  I just love her to bits!

And Baby Makes Four – Ashley McNamara – San Diego Maternity Photographer

In just a few short months the YOU family will be welcoming a new brother for little Joshua. I was so happy to be able to document this special time in their lives. These will be some of the last family photo’s they have before this beautiful family of three becomes a gorgeous family of four.

 

 

A picture is worth a thousand words – Ashley McNamara – San Diego Family Photographer

My favorite pictures are those that do not need an explanation and this shoot was full of them. My friend Kristin Rachelle (also a San Diego photographer) asked me to photograph her family and if you have met Kristin you will know that she is a blast so I couldn’t resist the opportunity! There are lots of “say cheese” moments in this shoot but of course I picked the funny/wacky ones because that’s just how I am. 

 

 

My favorite red staircase. 

Brocious Maternity Portraits – Ashley McNamara – San Diego Photographer

Meet the Brocious family.

They are about to welcome their second baby girl!  I am so excited because not only do I absolutely LOVE this family because they are totally up for all of my crazy ideas but they decided that they wanted to do a baby plan so I get to spend the whole year photographing their new baby and watching her grow up. 

Its going to be a FUN year!!! Enjoy your sneak peek!!

 

Williams Family Session – Ashley McNamara – San Diego Photographer

One of the best things about living in San Diego is that we are a vacation destination!! This means I get to shoot people from ALL over!

The Williams family come to us from Indiana and I seriously wanted to put them all in my pocket and take them home..

I loved them soooo much that we made our session a two parter! haha!

The littliest William (Logan) REALLY wanted to be on my “website” which I think means my blog…so I have an extra special picture for him.. Logan was particularly good at armpit farts…Now let me tell you, armpit farts require special skills so he was super proud of himself…As he should be..

So without further ado, Williams family enjoy your sneak peek! 

Logan demonstrating his special skills..

Jackson and his SUPERMODEL looks.

 

Breaking eachothers fingers…good times. HAHA!!! 

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!
