Baby Photography – Maya – Ashley McNamara – San Diego Photographer

Don’t you just love her?
 
Little Maya came all the way from LA to have her photos taken and I am just delighted with the results! Granted, this is my favorite age group to shoot, as most kids will sit pretty still and let you shoot them all day, but it definitely helped that little Maya had such a sweet disposition! You can tell from the photos what a willing participant she was. I certainly hope to be able to shoot her again in the future!

Photoshop Tutorials- Liquify- Push It – Ashley McNamara – San Diego Photographer

Have you ever gone bathing suit shopping and come home with nothing but a low self esteem and a container of Ben and Jerry’s Chunky Monkey to drown your sorrows?

No? OK.. well maybe it is just me.

I decided to heck with looking good in a swimsuit. I am pretty good at Photoshop and I prefer my altered state of reality anyways.

In all seriousness though this video is for all the people asking me to post one. I will eventually get around to an actual tutorial but in the mean time you will just have to settle for this speedy version which is better than nothing, right?

Make sure to turn the speakers down a touch.. the music is a little loud.

P.S. No, this is not me.

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!!

 

Good to be back – Ashley McNamara – San Diego Photographer

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..

 

 

 

 

Session outtake – Ashley McNamara – San Diego Photographer

Newborn shoots are a blast but there are always obstacles …one of which is poop and pee my clients are almost always mortified that their baby just exploded all over my fur rug.

First there is panic and a mad dash for the baby wipes, then I am sure there is worry..”is this woman going to invoice me for a new rug”, then there are apologies, “I am soo soo sorry.” almost always they are the same..

 Never fear! everything is washable..and your baby isn’t the only baby to leave their mark…and I am positive they will not be the last.

Here is an out take from my last session…Don’t worry no one was harmed during the making of this photo. hehe

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
