♥ Tutu Heaven ♥

When my Baby Planner asked me to photograph her oldest daughter, Aasha’s, birthday, I knew it was going to be fabulous. What I didn’t know was that this was a party to end all parties! Don’t get me wrong, I’ve always known these clients had amazing taste, but the time and planning that went into this party left me speechless! It was absolutely gorgeous! Little bits of “eye candy” wherever you looked. From the amazing cupcake cake to the personalized M&M’s, this is definitely a 2nd birthday to be remembered! I’m having a bit of picture overload, I tried to narrow it down, honestly I did, but they were all just so amazing! Enjoy!

I can’t wait to see what you do for Ava’s 1st, Orousha!!!

These personalized M&M’S were the best.. they have pictures that I have taken of Asha on them.

The party favors.. Boxes of M&M;s and white chocolate covered pink popcorn.

It isn’t often enough that I photograph kids older than two so this was a cool change of pace. Enjoy your sneak peek, Carlie!

I couldn’t decide which one to post so I will just post them both.

The Brocious Family – Ashley McNamara – San Diego Newborn Photographer

Another beautiful family! This is one of the family’s I’ll be shooting through the year and I couldn’t be happier about it! This is little Ava’s 3 month old session. (You might remember seeing her newborn pictures a few months ago!) Hard to believe how fast the time flies! Orousha enjoy the sneak peak!

Her “best friend” is the ceiling fan. I had to test this theory and yes, the fan is her best friend.

Always a ham…Big sister.

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.

Fay Family Session – Ashley McNamara – San Diego Photographer

Ashley McNamara — Fri, 18 Jul 2008 04:40:43 +0000

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!

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.
