Bald Head Island Summer Family Photos

Summer is the perfect time to take it easy, relax and reconnect with family. Many families head to the beach or other destination to do just that! Perfect time for Summer family photos. This is exactly what one of my long-time clients did this past June! They met up with their family at their beach house on Bald Head Island and commissioned me to come and take their summer family photos. Hurricane Isaias hit the island the day before their session, but luckily their home was not damaged and the ferry was running just in time for their session. There was some debris on the beach, but I was able to find a nice area where things were in good shape right down from where they were staying. Phew!

When we met up, everyone was in good spirits after a day in the sun on the beach. They hadn’t seen each other for quite some time due to COVID-19, so it was extra special when they were finally reunited. Cousins truly are like best friends (or siblings). I loved watching them cuddle and play together. Both sets of parents did a great job coordinating everyone too. As you know, that is not always an east feat with extended families, but it was a seamless fusion!

What a great looking family here! They were just the sweetest and very welcoming. They love having fun and I knew they were enjoying the start of their trip together with how everyone was interacting during their session. Pure love here. I know I already mentioned their outfits, but the images below really showcase how well everyone coordinated together! Perfect example of what to wear for beach Summer family photos.

At the end of the session, we let the kids play in the water and just be kids! This last bit of time is perfect for showing off those fun personalities and relationships for summer family photos. It’s really where they can let loose and not care so much about their outfits anymore. It is so hard for littles to stay out of the water and not get too sandy during beach sessions. Cannot blame them one bet. It is certainly tempting!!!! So, going for a dip is great incentive during the session for kiddos.

This little lady was not a fan of the water or sand, so while everyone else played, she explored and got some cuddle time with mom on the way back to their house. Such a beauty like her mom.

Just as I was about to leave, I noticed these little feet and legs under the outdoor shower and I had to get some images from my vantage point. Wouldn’t this make the perfect image for a bathroom or shower room? Ahhhh…the signs of Summer.

If you are planning a vacation and would like me to come to capture your Summer family photos while you are there, just let me know. I’d be happy to discuss details with you. info@yvonneniemannphotography.com  |  706.713.0676

I love nature and taking pictures of all that Mother Nature gifts us. Unfortunately, I haven't taken the time to photograph the beauty around me as often as I would like. So, I plan on doing more of that going forward. It is something that feeds my soul and gives me so much joy. Thankfully, I never stopped documenting the beauty around me, but I certainly would love to do it more. Stay tuned. More pretty pictures will be scattered through my feed in the future.

At extended family portrait sessions, we do a lot of break outs to get images of individual families and relationships that you want documented. This includes couples! For younger families, this is the perfect time to get your portraits taken with your spouse when others are around to entertain your littles. For those who don't have tiny children, this is a great time to relax and bask in the love with your significant other. A time to sneak away from the chaos for just a bit.

When it is hot out, head to the shoals to cool off for your portraits! That is exactly what we did for this mama's maternity photography session. 

This is a location that I scout out often to ensure it is safe before sessions. If the water is too high and flowing too fast it is a no go. Luckily, it was pure perfection last night. Enough dry areas and plenty of water flow to make it dream worthy and a safe place for mom and her family. 

A few tips for sessions at this location:
1. Spray on some bug spray. 
2. Bring shoes easy to take off for when you get to the water.
3. Have a towel handy for drying off your feet after the session.
4. If you are heading somewhere after your portraits, bring a change of clothes as you will most likely get a tad wet. 
5. I will make sure to pick areas that aren't too slippery, but go slow and shuffle your feet as you walk in the water.

If would like a session on the shoals, just let me know. We have a few places in the Oconee County and Athens areas to choose from. I will pick the location that is most perfect for your portraits.

Independence Day
4th of July 
Savannah historic district
One of the many pleasures that I get to do as a photographer is documenting childhood and relationships of all ages. 

Big milestones are such a privilege to photograph for families and especially ones where I know the artwork will be displayed for generations to come. 

I think that is one of the reasons why I adore heirloom sessions so much. They are classic pieces that will never go out of style. 

Looking at this image, it reminds me of a sibling image of my mom with her brother and sisters back in the 50s. Love that families continue the tradition of heirloom portraiture. 

My favorite way to display images like this is on a canvas and framed in an ornate frame on the wall alongside past generations portraits. 

You can book heirloom portrait sessions any time with Yvonne Niemann Photography, but if you want a shorter session, you may want to consider booking one of the heirloom portrait event spots. They are offered each season of the year. The Summer event takes place on July 14. There are still spots available, so if you would like to be added to the calendar, don't hesitate to contact me. Simply send me a message or book online using the link in the bio.

Ringing the UGA bell for one last time to celebrate graduating is a great feeling! Can you feel it?! I sure can. When thinking of locations for your graduation portraits, think of those places that meant a lot to you while you were in school. Could be on or off campus. Make a list and we will make sure to document you in those sentimental areas for you!
