Meet Matt and Holly Linden a beautiful couple pregnant with their first baby, a little girl named Annabelle.
I received an email from a friend of Matt’s she wanted to set up a shoot but was not sure if Matt and Holly would be up for it, she told me their story and it brought me to tears. I immediately offered to do the shoot for free.
Matt and Holly have been married for 16 years, “we were the first of all of our friends to get married and the last to have children.” Matt said.
Half way through Holly’s pregnancy they were given some sad news…their little Annabelle has a severe form of Spina Bifida, their neurosurgeon has only seen one case as severe and the baby lived for only 4 hours outside the womb.
Holly and Matt will have their precious baby girl on Aug 16th..say a prayer, send some positive thoughts, and hugs. They are so strong and love each other so much but I am sure they appreciate the prayers.
You can read more about Annabelle HERE! AND HERE! SUPER BIG THANKS to my good friend Kristin who went on this shoot with me..I so appreciate you girl!!
Fay Family Session - Ashley McNamara - San Diego Photographer
July 17, 2008 – 8:40 pm
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!
Williams Family Session - Ashley McNamara - San Diego Photographer
July 8, 2008 – 9:14 pm
One of the best things about living in San Diego is that we are a vacation destination!! This means I get to shoot people from ALL over!
The Williams family come to us from Indiana and I seriously wanted to put them all in my pocket and take them home..
I loved them soooo much that we made our session a two parter! haha!
The littliest William (Logan) REALLY wanted to be on my “website” which I think means my blog…so I have an extra special picture for him.. Logan was particularly good at armpit farts…Now let me tell you, armpit farts require special skills so he was super proud of himself…As he should be..
So without further ado, Williams family enjoy your sneak peek!
Logan demonstrating his special skills..
Jackson and his SUPERMODEL looks.
Breaking eachothers fingers…good times. HAHA!!!

Did anyone miss me?
I have been on “vacation” for the last three weeks, who knew vacation could be so exhausting..hence the quotes..
While on vacation my good friend Pam Biasotti asked me if I would take some pictures of her and her pup Riley and even though I was sooo totally sick and could barely say a word because my throat hurt soooooo bad!!! it was a blast.
If you don’t know Pam check her out here..

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.

Its been a little while since I have done a newborn session and this little girlie was sooo good to me. She hardly peeped the whole session and when she did it was because I was man-handling her HEHEHE…She was such a trooper and soo alert! I swear she was posing for me. 
Enjoy your sneak peek Jesse and Sarah!
Mikela - Ashley McNamara - San Diego Photographer
May 14, 2008 – 11:22 am
With Mikela my intention was to shoot at the beach but when we got there it was still super bright so while we were waiting for the sun to drop a bit we were chatting about cool places to shoot and Mikela’s dad mentions this abandoned house with graffiti and my eyes must have lit up because he goes..”follow me, lets head over” On the way he pointed out a bunch of other really cool spots.. (Favorited every single one in my GPS ;))
Let me just say you know your a professional photographer when your breaking into Private property for pictures..Not only are you breaking in but to break in you have to climb a 5ft fence..Now anyone who knows me is probably laughing pretty hard imagining ME hoisting myself up and over a fence and believe me it was no easy feat but totally worth it. Everything I needed was right there! Flowers, Long grass, and Graffiti!! So cool!
It was fun Mikela!! Enjoy your sneak peek!
Urban Ballerina - Ashley McNamara - San Diego Photographer
May 5, 2008 – 9:24 am
OK, so I have been doing senior sessions all week..obviously…Have I mentioned how much I LOOOOVE IT??? ACK! I love it!
Anyway, I have been excited about this session ALL WEEK!!! This is Joy and when Joy’s mom told me she was a ballerina I almost died!! I know I have done my fair share of urban seniors for the year but I knew that this HAD TO BE AN URBAN SESSION!! Urban Ballerina! How stinkin’ cool is that?
When Joy showed up I was completely giddy…she brought a basket of cool digs and then right on top were the ballet slippers…sigh…L O V E! I think I told her she “had me at hello..”
I have LOADS of awesome pictures but I can only show a few…Maybe more later.
She started off kind of awkward..I was a little worried.
