Maternity Photographer – Appel Family – Ashley McNamara – San Diego Photographer

Love my clients. Especially the goofy ones and the Appels are super goofy

Dave and Shannon are expecting their first baby, well,  their first baby of the human variety… their first “child” is pictured below and I hope that Bosco the Boston Terrier didn’t keep a tab of how many times I said “treat” to get his attention.. about 387 times.

Shannon was  little nervous about her maternity shoot but she is one HAWT momma! I told you that you would look fabulous!

Introducing Dave AKA Baby Daddy AKA Art Director AKA Underwear Model.. Dave felt exceptionally uncomfortable in front of the camera except for when he was posing himself … When I finally let him off the hook  about 5 Min’s later he shows up in a shirt that says “baby momma” (like the movie) on it… apparently he got over his camera fright. I took the picture and threatened to post it on the blog.. you were || this close pal. icon wink Maternity Photographer   Appel Family   Ashley McNamara   San Diego Photographer

Bellies and Babies – Ashley McNamara – San Diego Maternity Photographer

 

On your mark, get set.. SCHOOL!
 
While most folks are sad to see the summer days slipping by, I’m quietly rooting for Autumn to make it’s grand appearance. I’ll be much happier snuggling up in a comfy sweater than fanning myself in shorts and flip flops.
 
Not that this summer wasn’t spectacular, there were plenty of bellies, lots of babies and I had the immense pleasure of working with some new clients! I couldn’t have asked for more!
 
Hopefully Autumn will be just as eventful, with Anabell and Ricardo expecting their first little boy, I can only imagine how much fun we’re going to have when I’m finally able to meet him.

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!

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.
