Baby Photographer – Padraic – Ashley McNamara – San Diego Photographer

Ashley McNamara — Wed, 22 Apr 2009 03:03:37 +0000

I love my job.. I’ll say it again… I.LOVE.MY.JOB!

A lot of people ask me if I have a studio and the answer is, No, I don’t but it is by choice.

I love shooting in peoples homes, I love that each shoot is different, and my clients have such fabulous taste! Which leads me to little Padraic, his parents crib was pretty awesome.. Check out the orange sofa!

I tried to narrow the sneak peek down but it proved impossible.. this little guy was an angel!!

The Samburu Project and Baby Adrian – Ashley McNamara – San Diego Baby Photographer

This is Adrian and Adrian is quite possibly one of the cutest kids I have ever seen! This little guy was shaker and a mover… He was all over the place! We shot for two hours and he was such a trooper!

While chatting with Adrian’s mom, Kristen, she mentioned that she worked for a non-profit organization called the Samburu Project. She told me a bit about it and and when I got home I did a little research.

Kristen is so humble. She actually founded this wonderful organization that drills wells for fresh drinking water in a remote area of northern Kenya.

I find it truly amazing that Kristen has dedicated herself to something so special so I wanted to also include some information about the samburu project. If you have some time please take a look because it is really awesome. There is also a page where you can donate to the cause.

This precious little one is Leela and she is just too cute for words.. I thought about trying to smuggle her away in my camera bag, but thought better of it … I’m pretty sure her Mama wouldn’t have approved.

It wasn’t so very long ago that I was at this very home shooting little Sophie as a newborn, now I’ve had the priveledge of revisiting this wonderful family to document their newest addition, “Co-ey”, as little Sophie dubbs him. This little guy is all sorts of cute and was such a champ for his big debut! It was doubly the treat as I got to see how big his ”little” sister has grown in the last 24 months!

Enjoy the Sneak Peak Guys

It is the nature of babies to be in bliss.- Deepak Chopra

I’m always impressed by how blissfully sweet these two little girls are. Always smiles and happiness. I was able to get some beautiful shots at our latest appointment! Little Ava is growing up right before our eyes.

Welcome Baby Anthony – Ashley McNamara – San Diego Newborn Photographer

Ashley McNamara — Sun, 18 Jan 2009 20:09:43 +0000

One moment I’m on a Maternity shoot with a woman who is glowing with excitment and the next I’m on a shoot capturing the raw beauty of a new Mother cuddling her precious bundle of joy. Just ten days ago little Anthony came into the world and I had the priviledge of coming and taking some photographs with him and his family.

Congratulations Anya and Brian! Enjoy your sneak peak!

Mother and Grandmother..

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.

I am falling a little behind on my blogging lately..it has been a bit busy around here I will try to catch up on my blogging this week.

This little guy is four weeks old and I was pretty convinced he would be too old to do any of the newborn “curled up” shots but much to my surprise he was an angel and slept for half the session.

Baby Cole – Ashley McNamara – San Diego Baby 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)

A hatter, but not of the mad Variety!

When I told Orousha that I enjoyed using hats in my infant shoots, she took me at my word and

upon my arrival she presented me with not one, not two, but a smorgasbord of hats! Flower hats, bunny hats, small hats, big hats, er..well, you get the idea, there were a lot of hats!. (Makes me wonder if Orousha isn’t a milliner in her free time!) All the same, they were beautiful and added even more to an already amazing photo shoot!

That’s not to say little Ava needs ”props” to enhance her beauty, just look at that head of hair! She’s a knockout already!

It’s going to be an amazing year watching Ava grow and you can rest assured there will be plenty of hats along for the ride.

I just had to include this picture of Ava’s big sister Asha..I love this little girl!
