Bellies and Babies - Ashley McNamara - San Diego Photographer

September 4, 2008 – 4:23 pm

 

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.

Annabelly - Ashley McNamara - San Diego Photographer

July 22, 2008 – 2:11 pm

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!!

Pregnancy Boudoir - Ashley McNamara - San Diego Photographer

February 19, 2008 – 10:51 am

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! :) I mean how cute is she? Right?! …sigh… I wish I looked that perfect when I was pregnant! :) 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

February 6, 2008 – 9:47 pm

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.
