The beauty of pregnancy


Every session is unique in its own way but some families just stand out. The Bacalhau Family is one such family for me. Izabelle was the epitome of the glowing pregnant lady. She was positively radiant and she didn't even realise it. She carried with such grace and poise and was so easy to photograph.










A few weeks later her little man arrived such much excitement. She woke around 2am with contractions and by 3:15am was in her room at the hospital with her son her in her arms. If only we could all deliver with such ease!









And of course the whole point of having professional photographs taken is to hang them on your walls where you can enjoy them every single day. Professional photography is a luxury so why spend all that money just to have a disc or USB lying in a drawer somewhere and never looked at?



You can choose from stretched canvas, print on wood, a mounted photograph or a box frame. And I have some new products in development that I hope to be releasing soon.

I hope you have a great week!

The Importance of Maternity Photos



Well, well. I cannot believe that I last blogged a year ago!! That is just insane. Where did the year go? I realised that I have seriously neglected my blog and have now made time to blog each week. I have great articles and topics I am so excited to share and of course plenty of awesome families that I have worked with that I am just bursting to share with you. So without further ado let's get started.

Why take maternity photos. You are most probably not going to put them on your walls in your sitting room but having them on a disc in a drawer somewhere does seem like a waste. So why even take them?



Even though pregnancy comes with a lot of difficult trials, it is an amazing time in your life. It is a time of celebration the of anticipation as you prepare to meet your little bundle of joy. It’s a time where you become strong – stronger than you ever thought you could possibly be. During this time, you create your initial bond with your baby that will continue throughout your entire lives.

There are very few women who actually feel like they are beautiful while they are pregnant – especially during the first pregnancy. However, the miracle of pregnancy is a beautiful thing. Swollen feet, stretch marks, and hormone changes aside – you are growing a real live human being inside of you. All of those side effects come from different things your body has to do to help nourish and protect your baby.




You are beautiful, and you should take the time to celebrate these changes and this amazing moment in your life. These photos will be a great gift to pass down to your child as an heirloom of your first memories with them. This is something they will treasure forever.

My little ones loving seeing maternity photos of me and hearing about how they grew in my tummy, all about their birth and my great excitement while waiting for them. When they have had a tough day and are really out of sorts I pull them onto my lap and tell them all about being pregnant with them. It always calms them and really boosts their confidence.


So if you are not going to put a huge canvas on your sitting room wall what can you do with maternity photos besides leaving them on the disc in a drawer. I have several lovely products perfectly suited to maternity photos. There are framed prints that can stand on baby's night stand, or an album they can page through when they're older or even a book of postcards that you keep as an heirloom.

I hope you have a great day!

Isn't This Lovely?


I have information pages on my website and this blog with all the details of the various packages I offer and even the custom packages I can tailor to each client. BUT I still get requests for the information. SO I must be doing something wrong. So I found this absolutely gorgeous template for presenting everything you could possibly want to know about rosalind julia photography in a beautiful digital magazine format.  I am really excited to be able to send prospective clients this stunning magazine rather than a very boring pdf document.

Maternity Photo Session - Waiting for Isabella


Here is the beautiful Gabrielle waiting for precious little Isabella Pearl...

I crochet all my props and while I was searching for patterns for baby props I found a pattern for the most gorgeous maternity sash for gender reveal so when I booked my first two maternity sessions I immediately delved into my yarns and crocheted this sash for Gabrielle. The pattern can be found here.

Maternity Photo Session - Waiting for Nia...


I had never done a maternity photo session before and then I got two requests on the same day, to be shot on the same day for two ladies due only days apart and both expecting girls. My creative juices really got flowing because I never want two clients to look at their photos and the only difference is the people in them. I want each client to have a unique, wonderful and beautiful experience with photographs that reflect who they are.

Here is lovely Flora waiting for Nia...
