Sweet Cheeks - Ashley McNamara - San Diego Photographer

Hey folks. I am still playing catch up around here..I only have one to share today but I figured it was better than nothing. :) This little guy didn’t want anything to do with that hat but I just loved the way his sweet ittle round face looked in it.

 

 

 

 

 

A picture is worth a thousand words - Ashley McNamara - San Diego 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. 

What are little girls made of? - Ashley McNamara - San Diego Photographer

  ”They’re made of ribbons and butterfly kisses and wonder at Christmas and birthday wishes and a heap of giggles and wiggles and love; these are the things little girls are made of.”

Sweet Ella is about to celebrate her first birthday. Ella and family are from the bay area and wanted to have some pictures taken before she goes and grows up on them. ;) Believe me, I know the feeling. 

As requested here is some info:

Shot using a Canon 40D, Lenses used 24-70 2.8L and 50mm 1.4, all shot between 1.4 and 2.8, ISO 200-600

 

I have gotten a couple of emails asking where I shot the “field” pictures. This shot was taken in front of a teeeny patch of grass in a shopping center where I live. I wish I could find a huge field of the stuff..if you know where one is let me know. :)

Holland Family - Ashley McNamara - San Diego Photographer

beautiful family. beautiful day. beautiful memories. 

The Holland’s came all the way from Texas to visit sunny San Diego! I am lost for words so I will just let the pictures speak for themselves! Enjoy the sneak peek, guys!!

 

Fay Family Session - Ashley McNamara - San Diego Photographer

I had the pleasure of photographing the Fay Family yesterday. What a fun bunch!!

I love photographing families in their homes..as soon as I walked in I knew I wanted to use their fabulous oversized white chair! eek!!! love it!!

I have a feeling that white sofa and chair are not going to stay white because the Fay family welcomed a baby girl into the world about two months ago. She is such a cutie! I have never seen such a smiley two month old. :)

I also had a chance to photograph this little missy while I was there!

 

Because pretty soon - Ashley McNamara - San Diego Photographer

My baby will be too big for shirtless overalls…

Each year as I near closer to my babies birthday I realize that before I know it he is not going to be a baby anymore…I finally came to accept that he is two and no longer one and now three is creeping up on me. It’s just NOT fair!!!

People always say “cherish the moments because they grow up so fast.” This is so very true. Everyday he does something new and just yesterday I said “come here baby!” and he said “Mommy, I not a baby anymore.”  It just breaks my heart.

So today I wanted to take a picture of my BABY! A little moment frozen in time so when he does grow up on me I can look back and smile.

 

I love being a photographer…

 

Ally - Ashley McNamara - San Diego Photographer

I had the pleasure of shooting 10yr old Ally on Thursday…soooo cute.

Doesn’t she look like the next Lindsay Lohan? You know, like Lindsay in her Parent Trap days…no so much anymore..Don’t even get me started…

Anyhow, the spiders and thorns were worth it I am loving these shots and Ally was up for anything!  

Nancy, enjoy your sneak peek..Sorry it took so long! :)

 

She lost a tooth 2 days before the shoot hehehe.

Meet Jude - Ashley McNamara - San Diego Photographer

Meet Jude

Last week my daughter came home from school asking to buy a present for one of her classmates. My first thought was that there was yet another birthday party to attend, but my daughter explained that this was actually for a child who would be leaving school on the first of May to have his 4th Open Heart Surgery. (She has such a big heart) My first reaction was to offer this child’s family a free shoot. Jude’s teacher was able to put me in contact with his family and we scheduled a time. Shooting this kid was just so much fun, he’s an amazing child and his presence lit up the room!

Please take the time to keep this brave little guy in your thoughts, I know his family would be so grateful.
