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. 

Baby Cole - Ashley McNamara - San Diego Photographer

TOUCHDOWN!

When I showed up at the Hager house the whole family was watching football and when I saw Cole I immediately thought, Future football player. Cole is only two months old (Shocking I know!) Look at that head control. He was so good to me though! He didn’t fuss one bit he was all giggles and coo’s.  I couldn’t ask for more. 
(Edited to add technical info: Shot with Canon 40D using available light, lenses used were 50mm 1.4 and 24-70 2.8L, ISO 200-400, SS 1/100th - 1/250th, F/1.4-5.6)

 

Bellies and Babies - Ashley McNamara - San Diego Photographer

 

On your mark, get set.. SCHOOL!
 
While most folks are sad to see the summer days slipping by, I’m quietly rooting for Autumn to make it’s grand appearance. I’ll be much happier snuggling up in a comfy sweater than fanning myself in shorts and flip flops.
 
Not that this summer wasn’t spectacular, there were plenty of bellies, lots of babies and I had the immense pleasure of working with some new clients! I couldn’t have asked for more!
 
Hopefully Autumn will be just as eventful, with Anabell and Ricardo expecting their first little boy, I can only imagine how much fun we’re going to have when I’m finally able to meet him.

Brocious Maternity Portraits - Ashley McNamara - San Diego Photographer

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!!

 

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!

 

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.

Pure Love - Ashley McNamara - San Diego Photographer

Can I just start by saying that I love my job? :) I love capturing seemingly ordinary moments and showing people how beautiful they are. You may recognize this lovely lady and good friend of mine from the Henna Belly shots I did a couple of weeks ago. The moment I took her pregnancy bathtub shot I knew that I wanted to do a followup with her sweet baby…I bet this scene is pretty familiar to most moms..Cherish moments like this, because they grow up way too fast.  Big Thank You to my friend Ingrid for letting me play out my visions.

Pure Love
