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!
Maternity Henna - Ashley McNamara - Henna Art - San Diego Photographer

I love nothing more than doing a maternity shoot. There is just something so beautiful about the pregnant body I find it fascinating! So when my friend asked me to come along and document a pregnancy henna session I just couldn’t resist. I had never heard of maternity henna art before and just thought it was the coolest thing ever! For those of you who are not familiar with henna art it is all natural and has been used for thousands of years to adorn the hands and feet of women for weddings and other special occasions. Henna is made from a plant that has staining properties. The plant leaves are powdered and mixed into a paste with essential oils and other natural ingredients.
It took about 21/2 hours but the end result was completely worth it and oh so beautiful! I really cannot think of a more unique way to celebrate a pregnancy. I am only going to share a few photos because I really could just post them all night.
The making of the Henna Belly…
The end result…

My good friend Ingrid is 30 weeks pregnant with her 4th child she has 3 wonderful little boys and is pregnant with her first girl! I AM SOOOO HAPPY FOR HER!! From the first day I found out she was pregnant I had planned on taking her maternity photos. This is a shot from yesterday’s “session” and I say “session” because this photo was taken as a collaboration of many awesome photographers ideas who were also there shooting on this day. she was so good to us! Looking at this picture totally brings a smile to my face. I had no idea she was going to jump!!! LOOK AT THAT AIR!
Anyways, The light was failing, my focus was off, and my ISO was high…Her face is a little blurry but even with all of that this has to be one of my favorite maternity shots I have done so far, thats what happens when you get 5 photographers together! She still has at least 8 weeks left so there will be LOADS more shots to come. I love you my friend!!
