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

Ashley McNamara — Thu, 09 Jul 2009 17:21:57 +0000

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.

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.

and were back!

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!

Ava’s likes: The color pink, tutu’s, Dancing Broby, and long walks on the beach

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.

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.

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 Baby Photographer

Ashley McNamara — Tue, 16 Sep 2008 02:28:45 +0000

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 Maternity 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.
