Send Alamofire request with parameters and also image in HTTP body

I have an Alamofire request 

let parameters = ["key1":value1, "key2":value2, "keyn":valueN] as [String: AnyObject]

Alamofire.request(.POST, url, parameters: parameters, encoding: .JSON, headers: ["Authorization": auth_token]).validate().responseObject() {
// etc 
}

But I need to add a jpg image under an "image" key to the body of the HTTP request, how can I do this? I'm having trouble finding a simple Alamofire solution for this. I need to keep the current parameters but also send an image along with the POST in the body of the request

How about converting the image to base64? 

if let imageData = UIImageJPEGRepresentation(selectedImage, 0.30)
    {
        let strBase64:String = imageData.base64EncodedStringWithOptions(.Encoding64CharacterLineLength)
    }

*I'm compressing the quality here as well.
