Athens, GA Heirloom Children’s Portraits

Heirloom children’s portraits are a staple here in the South. For many, it is a tradition that is carried down through the generations. Enlarged prints are hung with love in homes next to other family members’ heirloom portraits. Many are printed on canvas, some on fine art paper and others choose to have them painted. All are framed and are lasting documentation on childhood during a certain timeframe.

When you choose to have heirloom children’s portraits taken by Yvonne Niemann Photography, I help you every step of the way. You receive tips on styling, where to shop, what to bring and what to do with your beloved photographic artwork.

Heirloom children’s portraits are classically lit and feature either a white backdrop or a hand painted muslin. Your choice of backdrop when booking your own heirloom session. For the heirloom portrait events, the backdrop is seamless white. If you are booking an heirloom session for yourself, you have the option to come to the Yvonne Niemann Photography home studio, or I can come to you. When I travel to you, I essentially bring the studio with me. Easy peasy. Heirloom portrait events take place at my home studio in Oconee County.

I have several tricks up my sleeve to get the attention and cooperation of toddlers. I also utilize chairs, stools and benches that photograph beautifully. Of course, sibling shots are always welcomed when booked together.

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.

Cannot believe that my daughter graduates high school in two months. Does not seem possible. I could not be prouder of this girl of mine. She is such a beautiful soul, smart, kind, thoughtful, hard working, dedicated and funny to boot. 

My goals for the first six months of the year look a bit different, but at the same time, really aren't. I always have goals that include my daughter, but there is certainly more emphasis on things this year with her. I want to go on a mother/daughter trip, a family trip, visit more colleges, plan her graduation party, do some more photo sessions that she has requested, design save the date and graduation announcements, gather pictures for a slideshow for her graduation party, start compiling dorm room items and be present as much as possible.

Still seems like yesterday I was just meeting her for the first time at the hospital and just like that....my baby girl will be moving on to start the next chapter of her life.

A benefit of photographing a baby when they are a bit older is that you can get these precious wide eyed images as well as more varied facial expressions. I mean….you cannot get over those beautiful eyes and those stunning eyelashes.

One fun thing that I get to do as a family photographer is spending time with babies in the early stages of their lives. Such an honor to document these special moments for families. This little lady was such a pleasure to photograph. Especially since I got to do a session with her big sister when she was the same age. Love that they used this precious family heirloom bassinet, which made things just that much more special. Cannot wait to cuddle with some more babies at session in the near future. My baby is about to graduate high school, so newborn sessions give me my baby fix while also flooding back memories of those infant days that I treasure so much.
