Macro Photography – Ashley McNamara – San Diego Photographer

So, this Valentines Day my husband got me the usual…. some chocolates, two bouquets of flowers, cheese cake, and dinner..wait..you mean, you didn’t get that too?? You mean it sounds like I am bragging??icon wink Macro Photography   Ashley McNamara   San Diego Photographer   Sigh…sometimes he really comes through.icon smile Macro Photography   Ashley McNamara   San Diego Photographer

Anywhoo, I had these beautiful flowers sitting on my kitchen counter and I thought.. “wow, those are pretty awesome…I wish they weren’t going to die soon” because plants actually come to my house to die..Yeah, brown thumb betty here…So on a whim I decided that I wanted to tack on one more Valentines Day gift onto my already long list of loot and told my husband that I wanted to rent a macro lens so I could forever remember the beauty of those flowers…or maybe it was a lot less mushy, maybe I really just wanted some pretty flower pictures for my bedroom.icon wink Macro Photography   Ashley McNamara   San Diego Photographer So one weekend with a macro lens and some awesome flowers I now have some pretty cool flower pictures! I am pretty proud of these! So without further adu here is my flower macro debut!

Pregnancy Boudoir – Ashley McNamara – San Diego Photographer

This was sooo much fun!!! I have wanted to do a Maternity Boudoir session for a long time, but it’s hard when you’re pregnant, you feel HUGE, and you definitely do not feel sexy… Well, Kristin is bringing sexy back!icon smile Pregnancy Boudoir   Ashley McNamara   San Diego Photographer I mean how cute is she? Right?! …sigh… I wish I looked that perfect when I was pregnant!icon smile Pregnancy Boudoir   Ashley McNamara   San Diego Photographer So, I say take off your clothes and celebrate that belly because soon, that belly will be replaced with a baby and then you really won’t feel sexy!

Pure Love – Ashley McNamara – San Diego Photographer

Can I just start by saying that I love my job?icon smile Pure Love   Ashley McNamara   San Diego PhotographerI 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.

San Diego Acupuncture – Pregnancy & Fertility treatments

Today I photographed a pre-birth acupuncture session. If you are like me and have never heard of such a thing, what pre-birth acupuncture does is help to increase the likelihood of delivering on the due date, reduces the time of labor, and substantially reduces the need for interventions and Cesarean sections.

Today’s session was done at SD Fertility Acupuncture and they specialize in fertility and pregnancy acupuncture. Being infertile myself I found the whole thing completely fascinating.

One of the things I learned was that certain points on the body are known to help the cervix soften and dilate and others aid in helping the ligaments relax and loosen for the easy passage of the baby.

Be sure to check out their website for more interesting facts.
