Last week I had the pleasure of photographing the beautiful and VERY pregnancy, Sung in amazing Chinatown. I just love all the textures and colors you can find in just one square block. Sung was such a trooper hiking up and down hills for our session. I know it wasn’t easy! Enjoy your sneak peek, Sung!

When I first moved to the Bay Area, Laurie is the first person I met and the first person I was able to call a friend. Laurie and her husband Chris have been waiting for this baby for quite some time and I am beyond excited for them and feel so blessed to be able to give them this gift of photos so they can cherish every second because as they say.. time moves faster when you have children.

30+ comments will get the Fairbanks family an adorable gift! Leave them some love.

San Francisco Pregnancy Photographer – Lindsay – Ashley McNamara Photography

I have been thinking about how I was going to write this post but thinking led to procrastination and procrastination is leading to a very impatient best friend so I am just going to wing it and keep this as short as possible because I could go on and on forever.

This is Lindsay and she is my best friend of over 20yrs and that statement alone makes me feel a million years old… We grew up together in Great Falls, MT. My fondest memories are the many weekends spent at her grandma and grandpas ranch playing with all the cool animals, admiring this awesome doll house her grandma had in their basement, tie dying shirts in her front yard [my dad used to get so mad at me because I would steal his undershirts for the project], or rummaging her other grandmas attic for trinkets.

I was this super dorky kid, I had braces, acne, and huge red glasses [apparently the dorky glasses stayed with me]. Because I was so awkward I didn’t have very many friends and when new people moved into the neighborhood I would go over and ask if they had “any kids for me to play with.” Lindsay moved in right across the street and since that first day we were inseparable.

Lindsay wasn’t as awkward as I was, infact she was even sort of cool… I remember asking her once why she preferd to hang out with me instead of the popular kids to which she replied, “I just like you better.”

When I was 13 I moved away and since then we have stayed in touch and try to see each other about once a year. Even though we don’t see each other every day we’re still very much the best of friends. My oldest daughter has Lindsay’s middle name.

Over the last few years I have patiently awaited becoming an Auntie and now the wait is finally over! It was decided that I would fly to Tennessee to do a newborn session and then my lovely husband surprised me with a flight for her to come to San Francisco for maternity shots as well. It was rainy and gloomy the entire time she was here but we managed to make the best of it.

I love you best friend and I cannot wait to meet your sweet baby girl in June!

Pregnancy Boudoir – Ashley McNamara – San Diego Photographer

Ashley McNamara — Tue, 19 Feb 2008 18:51:52 +0000

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!

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!!
