San Francisco Maternity Photographer – Ashley McNamara

WOOT WOOT! You’re thinking.. “she looks familiar??”

I just completed a baby plan with Miss Orousha when she found out she was pregnant again! I think she keeps getting pregnant to keep me around. Little does she know, she is stuck with me forever!!

I flew to San Diego a couple of weeks ago for Orousha’s maternity shoot and it was the rainiest week of the year.. my last day there was like a monsoon! We just hung out, we spent some time at the house, we spent some time at the park, and then we went downtown to my favorite staircase. If I looked half as cute pregnant I would be pregnant all the time.

Couple of Notes:: I wil be back in San Diego in March for another round of sessions — If you’re interested send me an email through my website.  Secondly I am looking for a couple of Maternity Model’s in the San Francisco area contact me with a photo for details. ashley@ashleymcnamara.com

HAPPY NEW YEAR!! – Ashley McNamara – San Diego Maternity Photographer

 

It could not have been more appropriate to end a spectacular year with a really fun photo shoot!
 
Maternity sessions are always so much fun for me, but I rarely find couples who have even more fun than I do! Enter Anya and Brian! What an incredible duo! They were an absolute blast and the result was one funtastic photo shoot! As a photographer they were an ideal client, up for anything and SO much to work with! As you can see, when a client is up for anything, I make sure to take advantage! We covered just about everything! 
 
Enjoy your sneak peek guys!

These will be some of the last family photo’s they have before this beautiful family of three becomes a gorgeous family of four.

 

 

Setting the bar – Ashley McNamara – San Diego Pregnancy Photographer

 

Husbands everywhere sit up and take notice!
 
We wives are noticing more and more men like Lamine. Men who do not give hotbox flowers and stale chocolates for birthday gifts. Men who deliver the goods. Yes, Lamine set the bar very high for husband’s everywhere when he treated his beautiful wife, Alexis, to a maternity session for her birthday! With a new baby girl due in just a few short weeks, what could be sweeter?
 
I had such a great experience shooting this fun couple! The love between them radiates!
And can I just add that I loved how Alexis rocked that red dress!
 
Sweet Indeed.

This is Melody, and she is sooo much fun. I am having a bit of writers block today so I think I will just get straight to the pictures. Melody, it was a blast! Enjoy your sneak peek!!!

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! :) 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…

Air-Ingrid – Ashley McNamara – San Diego Photographer

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!!
