Newborn Photography – Baby Will – Ashley McNamara – San Diego Photographer

Ashley McNamara — Fri, 24 Jul 2009 21:52:47 +0000

A couple of weeks ago I had the pleasure of shooting Shannon’s maternity pictures (you can see below) and now it is time for baby images!

Little Will was born on July16th and is such a little love. He wasn’t too sleepy when I showed up so we cranked the heat up to 90 and he melted right into the blanket for some shots. I think we all melted a little as well.

This is William and William is one of the easiest babies I have ever photographed!! He was so sleepy and cuddly. I just love that! Today is my last day in San Diego and I promised that I would get a blog post up before I left so I am lacking words but who wants to listen to me babble on when there are cute baby pictures, anyway!

Babies are cute. Babies are adorable. Babies take your breath away. And little Ryder is no exception, this precious little guy is beyond words. If cuteness were weighed by the pound, he’d tip the scales! I thought about trying to smuggle him away in my camera bag, but thought better of it … I’m pretty sure his Mama wouldn’t have approved.

Side note: isn’t this the most beautifully decorated house ever?!?

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

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

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!

Giving is Awesome – Ashley McNamara – San Diego Photographer

Give someone something special…My friends over at Essential Imagery have set up this fan-freaking-tastic site Giving is Awesome and I wanted to share the love too.

You know someone. You know someone who’s experienced a tragedy, is struggling to stay afloat, is raising kids while holding down more than one job, or is volunteering selflessly despite extenuating personal circumstances. You know someone who can’t afford custom photography, but who would cherish it this holiday season. You know someone who deserves a year-round reminder of their family’s spirit, love, and beauty.

You know someone. I guarantee it.

I want to know who they are, and I want to give them the chance to experience complimentary custom photography – $1000 worth, to be exact. It’s in your power to give them the artwork they deserve this holiday season.

Oh, and the best part? The person who nominates the winner receives a FREE session worth $250.00. What better reason to show some love could there possibly be, people?

The rules:

* You cannot nominate yourself, and the person nominated must sincerely be incapable of purchasing my services. (Being unable to make mortgage payments for a two-million-dollar-vacation-home in Paris does not qualify as sincere financial need.)

* The nominee must reside in San Diego California. Tell me who you know, what they’re experiencing, and why they deserve my artwork. Please include a way to contact both your nominee and yourself as well.

* You must e-mail me the full story : ashley@ashleymcnamara.com

The winner will be announced on New Years Eve — get nominating! I can’t wait to read all of your entries!

Open your heart to someone this holiday season — and thanks for giving me the opportunity to open mine.

With love,

Ashley McNamara

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.
