Bay Area Newborn Photographer – Jodi – Ashley McNamara Photography

Ashley McNamara — Wed, 25 Aug 2010 19:29:27 +0000

Last week I had the pleasure of snuggling up with.. ahem… I mean photographing little Jodi. She is such a sweet little soul and put up with my squeezing, poking, and squishing like a champ. We shot at Jodi’s grandfathers home in Saratoga which was super cool because the home has been in the family for 100 years.

Brandi and Brett I hope you’re getting enough sleep! Thanks for being patient and enjoy your sneak peek!

She has the best lips ever..

My little man is growing up, no he isn’t mine but I love love love the Brocious kids like they are and cannot imagine not being in their lives. After two years documenting them every 2 months I truly adore the entire family and they couldn’t get rid of me if the tried.

Ashton is 5 months old now and the happiest, cuddliest, and sweetest baby you have ever met. He also loves the camera… loves to slime it that is, speaking of that.. I have some lenses to clean.

I have been photographing little will since before he was born (since I did his mom’s maternity photos) He has been the sweetest, happiest, little soul and I just adore him.

Will just turned one and I couldn’t wait to see him while I was working in San Diego, we decided to shoot downtown near the airport which is fitting because Will’s daddy is a pilot for JetBlue.

Cuteness overload below.. I know you’re wondering because I was. All of Wills outfits are from H&M he looks stylin’, right?!

Bay Area Baby Photographer – Lyla Scout – Ashley McNamara Photography

As a photographer I get a lot of sales calls, “I can get you the #1 spot on google!”, “I can process your images!”, “I promise to get you so much business your head will spin!”, so when Kimberly called me to book a session for her 9 week old daughter I didn’t realize until half way through the conversation that she was actually calling to book a session and I had completely tuned her out because she had the most wonderful phone voice ever. I was certain she was a telemarketer. I think I might have her call me and read me bedtime stories.

When I arrived at Kimberly’s home I soon realized that Kimberly herself was just as wonderful as her soothing telephone voice. Kimberly and her husband Scott adopted little Lyla Scout in June and I didn’t realize that she was indeed adopted until I gushed over Kimberly’s fit figure because Lyla looks just like her!

Lyla is the most adorable thing I have ever seen. I was kind of obsessed with her head of hair. I don’t know if you can handle the adorableness below so proceed with caution!

As always 30+ comments will get Kimberly and Scott an adorable gift!

San Francisco Newborn Photographer – Gianna – Ashley McNamara Photography

It’s baby season!

There has been a boom in the Bay Area and It’s a a good thing to because I was starting to have withdrawals from that new baby smell. Gianna was just what I needed to get my fix. I don’t know what it is about these San Francisco babies but I have been so lucky because every single one I have worked with has been sleepy and curly two of my very favorite things. Gianna was so good to me, I could have photographed her all day.

30+ comments and Reither will get a super cute gift!

Bay Area Newborn Photographer – Kinley – Ashley McNamara Photography

A couple of weeks ago I flew to Memphis to meet my best friends baby, Kinley. . . She was more precious than I could have ever imagined I just love her. I spent about a week in memphis exploring and enjoying the constant heat and humidity I don’t know how you Tennesseans do it, it was brutal!

One thing the heat is good for is shooting newborn photo’s outside. I can’t do that in the bay so I was pretty excited about that possibility. Early one evening we went on a drive to scout out locations and came across this abandoned house with this awesome barn in the back. . . it was perfect! We decided to stop and shoot, I was setting everything up when my feet started to burn. . . I looked down and my feet were covered in fire ants and they were chewing my poor feet to pieces, so now we have heat, humidity, and bugs if it weren’t for that sweet southern hospitality and the best pulled pork sandwich I have ever had it might have been almost miserable. Note to self: Memphis in the summer isn’t so rad. Next time I think I will make a winter trip.

Lindsay, I miss you already.

San Francisco Newborn Photographer – Charlie – Ashley McNamara Photography

Ashley McNamara — Thu, 17 Jun 2010 15:17:29 +0000

Meet the oh so adorable Charlie. A few days before leaving for my vacation Charlie’s aunt called me to book a session. Mom and Charlie were still in the hospital (which is the perfect time to book by the way). I shot the session the day before leaving and didn’t have a chance to go through the pictures before I left and I was dying to see them because Charlie was a complete angel, He was asleep when I got there, slept through the whole session, and was still sleeping when I left. It almost didn’t feel like work.

Chelene you’re one lucky mommy! Charlie is just a complete joy. Enjoy your sneak peek!

Bay Area Baby Photographer – Ren – Ashley McNamara Photography

Ashley McNamara — Wed, 02 Jun 2010 16:36:36 +0000

I always love shooting at the Porter house because they have such great taste, it’s unique and modern and I love that.

Last time I saw Ren he was just a little guy and now he is nearly walking. I always say it but it’s amazing how fast they grow up and it just goes to show how important pictures are. Ren wasn’t so sure about me at first but we quickly bonded over gerber puffs and by the end we were best friends.

Bay Area Baby Photographer – Baby Ashton – Ashley McNamara Photography

Ashley McNamara — Wed, 02 Jun 2010 00:03:42 +0000

Last weekend I flew to San Diego to photograph little Ashton who is now two months old. All of this gloomy bay area weather had me itching for some San Diego sun and when I arrived it was cloudy and cold so there are no awesome beach shots to share. All is well though, Ashton is cute as can be with his chubby cheeks and adorable smile. What more can you ask for?

30+ comments will get Ashton a free 5×7. Leave a little love for them!

NOTE: June 9th – June 15th I will be in Memphis, TN if you’re interested in booking a session send me an email!

San Francisco Baby Photographer – Baby Will – Ashley McNamara Photography

Ashley McNamara — Sat, 10 Apr 2010 17:16:33 +0000

As you can see I am in a mad dash to play catch up. It’s been a super busy couple of weeks and now it’s time to get back to work. This is baby Will and the last time I saw him he was a five day old peanut. I cannot believe how fast they grow up, I swear it seems like yesterday when I was doing his newborn photos and now he is nearly one.
