Heirloom Photography In Athens, GA

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

3 Month Milestone Pictures In Studio

Every milestone in a baby’s first year of life is worth documenting! This little girl is part of the Watch Me Grow program. I photographed her mom for her maternity portraits and then I photographed their newborn session at their home in the Fall. Her three month milestone pictures was such a treat. Her mom chose to do the session in studio since that is what we did for the maternity images. We used the same backdrop and even used the stool we used for some of the maternity portraits. Love to bring everything together like that when possible.

The little lady wore a handmade dress for her 3 month milestone pictures. Very fitting for this southern lady. Mom chose the most perfect dress too. The blue and white is such a classic choice.  The delicate pattern and flowy material works wonderfully for motherhood and baby portraits. Very flattering too.

Big sisters and brother joined in on a few images at the end once lil’ sis had enough. Always a delight photographing the siblings during a milestone session.

When is the best time for a newborn session? 

For those tiny, curled-up, super sleepy images, I usually recommend the first two weeks.

But honestly… there’s no wrong time to document a new baby.

Many of my families choose to schedule their session around six weeks. By then baby is a little bigger, often more wide-eyed and curious, and parents and siblings are usually more rested and settling into their new rhythm.

You may still get some sleepy moments — just a little less curled up.

Every stage of these early days is beautiful and worth remembering.

One day your children will look for photos of you together.

Not the perfect moments — the real ones. The laughter. The closeness. The way you held them in this season of life.

Be in the frame. These are the photographs they will treasure most.

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.
