Heirloom Portraits In Oconee County, GA

July 31, 2025

I just adore heirloom portraits! This little man’s sister came to me when she was around one for her first heirloom portraits and now it is his time for the tradition. He wore the most adorable outfit with classic details in baby blue. Mom was worried that it was a bit too small since he had grown from the time she purchased the outfit at The Elephant Trunk here in Athens. Luckily, it fit and we got some adorable heirloom portraits of this young Southern man.

When doing heirloom portraits with Yvonne Niemann Photography, you will get a variety of images. Not only will you get the classic bust shots, but you will also get full body and some detail images as well. Depending on age, we can also get standing, sitting, or crawling images. Think of it as a milestone and heirloom portrait session!

Mom brought a rocking chair that is a family heirloom as well as rattle. Love it when parents use sentimental items for their children’s portraits. Really adds that much more to the finished artwork.

Silhouettes are also something that you will receive when doing heirloom portrait with me. For little girls with longer hair, at the end of the session, we will put hair into a ponytail. For those with shorter hair, we just let the hair be and show off its character. Love this little man’s curls. ADORABLE!!!!!

If you are wanting heirloom photos of your child, contact Yvonne Niemann Photography for details and to set up your appointment. I offer quarterly heirloom portrait events for those who want a shorter session. You can also book a private session to allow more time, images, customization and variety in your finished artwork. Inquire for information. Would love to discuss options with you. info@yvonneniemannphotography.com | 706.713.0676

8 Month Milestone Photography | Athens, GA

July 3, 2025

I love milestone photography sessions to document those big moments in a baby’s first year of life. I always suggest doing these sessions during the actual milestone instead of a specific month. All babies develop at different rates and I prefer to go at their pace instead of stressing parents about their baby hitting a milestone at a certain timeframe. This baby’s sitting milestone session was when she was eight months old. It worked out great too as she could sit up really well on her own at this point. She was already starting to get some separation anxiety, so it was helpful to get some images with her siblings and mom. We also gave her breaks when needed to get images of her brothers and sisters by themselves too.

Love that all the girls wore matching dresses and how big brother coordinated with the gals. Really makes a big difference in the group images, but also when mom displays the images on the wall. Mom chose to use the same backdrop we used for her maternity, newborn and three month sessions.

If you have a baby or are expecting, consider milestone sessions of your little one during their first year of life. Maternity, newborn, tummy time, sitting, crawling, standing and one year are all great options for milestone photography sessions. Both signature and simplicity sessions are available.

Heirloom Photography In Athens, GA

March 25, 2025

These siblings came in for an heirloom photography session. Mom chose to do a Signature Session to allow more time for her four kiddos and to get some additional images of the baby in the family. Worked out marvelously.

Outfits for the gals came from an Etsy store and big brother’s outfit is from Target. Great finds that are fitting for an heirloom photography session while coordinating for when everyone is together like in the above image, but also looks great one-on-one.

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

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. Inquire for details and to be added to the calendar. info@yvonneniemannphotography.com | 706.713.0676
