Best Time For A Pregnancy Photoshoot

A frequently asked question is when is the best time for a pregnancy photoshoot.

I recommend maternity photography sessions take place between 31-34 weeks of pregnancy or when your belly goes past your bust-line.

This is a great time as it is obvious that you are pregnant so you can show off your beautiful curves. It is also a time when you are still fairly comfortable and therefore are able to move more freely. Of course, this is just a guideline. Every woman is different in her pregnancy journey. If you aren’t showing much during these weeks, just hold off until your belly has popped out a bit more. This is why I mention waiting until your belly goes past your bust-line.

This is such a wonderful time in a woman’s life and worth documenting. Your finished photographic artwork will mean more to you as the years go by and your children will love looking at these portraits as they grow up. What an amazing gift to be able to see your mom carrying you with so much love, excitement and anticipation!

As this family’s pregnancy photoshoot shows, most maternity sessions take place outdoors with Yvonne Niemann Photography, as I love how the natural settings of mother nature enhances the beauty of pregnancy. Other expecting moms prefer the comfort of their home for their portraits, which is equally meaningful and fitting during this time of a woman’s life. Regardless of location, these sessions are relaxed and natural.

If you are expecting and would like to document this miraculous time, contact Athens, GA maternity photographers of Yvonne Niemann Photography to schedule your own pregnancy photoshoot. Both petite and premium sessions are available. Inquire for details. info@yvonneniemannphotography.com  |  706.713.0676

Have you noticed all the blooms lately?! This is my absolutely favorite time of year. It is  the time when things come back to life with all their beauty. Every day seems like Christmas where you are opening gifts from Mother Nature. This is just the beginning!!! Cannot wait to experience all that is yet to come.

One of my favorite locations is almost ready for pretty cherry tree blossom sessions! Every year is a little different - sometime the blooms are pink and other years they are the palest of pink. Lighting is perfect, lots of trees to give dimension and plenty of room to explore, cuddle and move. 

If you would like to take advantage of what Spring brings us every year, contact me as soon as possible. Once these trees bloom, they don't last long.

Timing is everything when it comes to beach portrait sessions.

There’s a reason I plan my sessions for the edges of the day. Right before sunrise and just before sunset, the sun sits low on the horizon, wrapping everything in soft, golden light. It’s flattering, gentle on skin tones, and creates that dreamy glow you simply can’t replicate at noon. The wind calms, the beach feels peaceful, and the magic naturally unfolds.

This sweet mother-daughter moment was captured on Jekyll Island at Driftwood Beach just as the sun was rising — when the sky turns pastel and the reflections shimmer along the shoreline.

When you trust the light, you get images that feel timeless, effortless, and full of heart.

Spring break is just around the corner! I am heading to Jekyll Island for portrait sessions, March 15-17. Great time for updated family portraits, senior photos or of just the kiddos. Sessions can take place on one of the many beaches or in the historic district. Inquire for details and to secure your spot. You can also book through the link in bio.

Go ahead and use that fine china, crystal and silver. No need to save for a special event or when you have people over. You are worth it. They are just material things and meant to be used. YOU can be the main event - every day.
Mounted prints are meant to be held, displayed, and passed down.

Unlike standard prints, mounted prints are bonded to a sturdy backing so they don’t bend, ripple, or warp over time. They feel substantial in your hands — because your memories deserve to be.

For my clients, this means artwork that stays beautiful on your walls, sits perfectly on easels, and lasts for generations.

Digital has its place… but nothing compares to seeing your people in print.
