Los Angeles Maternity, Newborns, Babies, Children and Family Photographer

Welcome to my blog! I am Julie, a girl from Texas that fell in love with a California boy and we somehow grew to a family of 5. My necessities in life are a cup of coffee in the morning, salt, Kiehl’s lip balm #1 and a little celebrity gossip. I discovered my passion for photography through the eyes of my 2 delightful little girls and my ornery yet sweet little boy (aren’t they all that way). You will definitely be seeing more of them and their moments I capture through occasional postings here on my blog.

After some serious soul searching and trying to balance my life with 3 kids, I decided to jump into photography with both feet and make my passion my business. I was able to achieve this goal through the love, support and encouragement I received from my incredible husband and my amazing family and friends. My dream of JR Photography is now a reality and my business is finally up and running.

I would love the opportunity to capture memories for you and your family the way I have been able to do for my own. I live in the Los Angeles, South Bay area and you can visit my website at www.julierollinsphotography.com. Thank you for visiting my blog and I hope to become your family photographer of choice. I look forward to hearing from you!

Do you have a newborn?  Do you know someone that is expecting?  You won’t want to miss these photos from my newborn photo shoot yesterday!!!  I can say that newborn photo sessions are my absolute favorite and yesterday’s session was pure bliss.  This sweet girl not only slept for the entire shoot but she was also smiling a TON!!!  Wait until you see the last photo, check out her HUGE grin she had on her face!  After I took that shot, I sat back and was speechless.  She was just so cute and seeing her on that little bed smiling literally brought me to tears – happy tears!!!!  If you know anyone that is expecting or if you are yourself, call me to book a newborn session!  Photos of your baby at this newborn stage are priceless and irreplaceable and it is so awesome to be able to have images capturing these memories for you!!!  I look forward to hearing from you!!!  Jennifer and Mat – I hope you LOVE these images of your sweet Presley!  I loved spending time with you guys yesterday!  Thank you all so much!!! xoxo

Los Angeles Newborn Photographer | Sweet Sweet Madison

July 21st, 2010

This month has been off the charts busy with all sorts of fun photo sessions and there are still a bunch more to come before the month ends!!!  I moved my studio at the end of last month into a bigger place and I am LOVING shooting in this new space!  I find it perfectly equipped for all of the newborns that have been coming my way and I am having a blast shooting all of the sessions!!!  Yesterday Mia and Madison drove down from Hollywood to come spend some time with me for a newborn photo session so Mia could get photos of Madison.  Typically my newborn sessions are for babies that are under two weeks of age and the ideal time frame I prefer to shoot is when the baby is between 5-9 days old.  Madison was actually celebrating her 6 week birthday so I was wondering if we were going to be able to get those sleepy newborn shots that everyone loves.  Once everyone got settled in and we cranked the heat up to get Madison comfy she soon fell off into dreamland.  This baby is just outright beautiful!!!  She is perfect from head to toe and it was a great session!  This is the teaser from Madison’s session and soon you will be seeing a lot more great shots from our date!!!  Thank you so much Mia for bringing her down, we had a great time!!!!  I also want to thank Monica, Mia’s sister for coming along and being there to also help out whenever we needed her.  My last shout out goes to my awesome friend and best shoot assistant I could ever ask for, Debora.  She assists me on about 90% of my sessions and I am grateful to have such a great right hand man to help make everything run so smooth!!! Love ya Deb!

Los Angeles Newborn Photographer | Sweet Baby Liam

July 10th, 2010

Yesterday morning I headed to my studio for a newborn photo session.  I was thrilled to bits because my partner in crime for the day was the one and only Kamee June!  Her energy is infectious, her talent is outstanding and the instant cohesiveness we have when working together is just seamless.  Our client for the morning was this sweet and beautiful little guy named Liam.  I loved the fact that his mom was so easy going and just sat back and let us do what we do best, take lots and lots of photos!  The icing on the cake came later in the day when Liam’s dad arrived and stepped in to get a few shots together with his boy.  This is not the sneak peek for this session, it’s only the sweet little teaser of what’s to come!  Thank you so much Liam, Nikki and Bryan, the day was fantastic!!!  To Kami – thanks for hanging with me, I’m sad the day ended so quickly! xoxo

Los Angeles Children’s Beach Photographer | Andrew’s Beach Shoot

July 7th, 2010

Andrew and I picked a beach and made it a date so that I could have a beach photo shoot with him and he could have some cool photos for his birthday card invitations.  I loved getting together with him and his surfboard and just watching him look so cool in his board shorts and rash guard.  The best was when we decided it would be a good time for him to paddle out and we would get some shots of him on the next great wave!  Unfortunately, time was not on our side and what little sun there was had already been covered with the thick fog bank rolling in.  Andrew, thanks again for such a fun session, I love you to pieces and we will definitely catch you on a wave next time!

Los Angeles Family Photographer | Garcia, Vatavuk, Vega Mother’s Day Session

July 4th, 2010

Getting together with these three ladies for a Mother’s Day photo shoot was so nice.  The location we shot at was so pretty and all of the colors there are so green and vibrant.  I love the gift of a photo session to celebrate Mother’s Day, it captures memories that will last a lifetime and the photos will be appreciated by generations to come.  I know how intrigued I am when someone shows me old photos of great grandparents and family members that are no longer with us.  Even if those in the photos are people I never knew of, the photographs are priceless and I could stare at them for hours.  My parents live in Texas, so I was not able to give this gift to my own mom, but Cynthia and Betsy were able to do this for their mom Linda!  They all showed up looking perfect and it was a great morning for a shoot!  A big thanks to all three of you ladies!!!  Betsy’s daughter Isabella was also there for the shoot.  She was so cute trying to help me out and be the best assistant!  I love the photos I was able to capture of her with the dandelions just as we were wrapping up the shoot.  That sweet girl is just too cute!
