1st Birthday | Milestone Photographer Athens, GA

As a milestone photographer, I have the privilege of watching babies grow through the lens of my camera. Since babies develop at different rates, I always recommend photographing milestones of a babies life instead of an exact month. This little lady came in for her first birthday milestone, which happened to be when she was able to stand on her own and take a few steps! Such a change from her newborn photo session.

Mom dressed her in a dress that she wore herself at the same age. I love it when families incorporate sentimental and heirloom items for their children’s portraits. Pink sure looks good on this Southern belle!

Her mom dressed her daughter in this pink tutu that is a part of the Yvonne Niemann Photography wardrobe closet. Very fitting for the festive occasion.

This is one of my favorite set ups that I do for a baby’s first birthday milestone photo session. The simple white balloons are fitting for the occasion, but they also don’t distract from the birthday girl/boy, add interest and gives the baby something to do. The simple white floor and walls also keep the eye on the most important subject. The sheer drapery and window is always a fun thing for a baby. I mean, what baby doesn’t like to play peek a boo and look out the window?!

It's probably not a big surprise, but I love photographing pretty things in nature during my free time. It brings me so much happiness!!!! Of course, there are times when I leave my camera at home, but most of the time it is with me where I can photograph things that catch my eye. Sometimes it is the way light filters through some trees, architectural elements kissed by the elements, delicate flowers, or vast landscapes. My favorite thing though are all the little details. I tend to isolate elements more than not. It is what I gravitate towards. 

If you like taking pictures, what are your favorite things to capture? Please share!!!!

So proud of my girl. She has committed to Georgia College and will be moving to Milledgeville to start her college career this August. She is a true leader and I know she will find ways to utilize her talents while growing her skill and knowledge at GCSU. 

Love you baby girl! Excited for what is to come.

I hold heirloom photography events each season, but also offer personalized heirloom sessions when you need a bit more time and variety in your images.

Differences in heirloom photography sessions:

Heirloom portrait events are short 15 minute time slots for an individual child. Siblings can be booked back to back to allow a sibling portrait. The background is a white backdrop.

The signature heirloom session lasts up to 90 minutes and can include multiple children and even family pets. You can choose to do the heirloom photography session at your home, outside or at the Yvonne Niemann Photography home studio. You can choose your backdrop as well as a few different sitting options. There are several different backdrops to choose from - white, gray, cream and hand painted muslins in various neutral shades. Sitting options include various stools, chairs, a bench and a settee. If you want other images that are not heirloom portraits, you can do that too during a signature heirloom photography session!

Simplicity heirloom sessions last 30 minutes and can be for an individual child who needs more time to warm up or would like to include a family pet or one other child. These sessions can be done at your home, outdoors or the Yvonne Niemann Photography home studio. You can also choose your backdrop as well as a sitting options.

If you are unsure of what type of heirloom photography session would fit your family/children best, don't hesitate to reach out. I am always happy to discuss options with you and to find the perfect fit for your needs.
This is my absolute favorite location for Spring portraits with blossoming cherry trees. Some years the blossoms are a vibrant pink and other years, they are almost white. Regardless, I just find it dreamy and it photographs beautifully in the morning and before sunset. I know these trees well at this point. I visit them early in the season to see if the branches have buds and know about how long until blossoms appear from the looks of those buds. Some of the trees flower super fast and go green, while others  hang on much longer. 

If you are wanting a session at this location, you still have a little bit a time. They will be blossoming for another week. Contact me today to schedule your session!

When trying to figure out when to do your newborn portrait session, there are a few things to consider. 

If you would like those super curled up images of your baby and images where your infant is super small, then I would recommend booking your newborn session during the first two weeks of life. This is also usually the time before colic and baby acne would arrive, if that ends up being a thing for your sweet baby.

Now, if you would like some wide eyed shots as well as those sleepy images then you may want to wait a bit. Some parents prefer to do their newborn portraits around six weeks. At this age, infants don't curl up quite as tight when they sleep, but their sleep details are still adorable. Most moms mention that they seem to be a bit into a routine at this point, which can help predict baby's mood, sleep and eating patterns. 

Regardless on your baby's age, I am here to document those precious moments. If you are still unsure when to book, don't hesitate to reach out. I am happy to talk through options with you.
