Jekyll Island Beach Pictures – One Evening Session Left on March 15

There is something undeniably magical about spring on Jekyll Island. The soft ocean breeze, wide open beaches, and glowing coastal light create the most beautiful setting for relaxed, natural family portraits. I’ll be on the island next week photographing several families, and one evening session is still available on March 15.

If you’ve been dreaming about updated family portraits at the coast, this is a perfect opportunity.

Why Jekyll Island is Perfect for Family Portraits

Jekyll Island offers such a wonderful variety of scenery, which means your session can feel truly unique to your family.

Jekyll Island Beaches
The island’s sandy shoreline provides a soft, dreamy setting where children can run, twirl, and simply be themselves. The pastel skies and reflective wet sand during golden hour create truly magical images.

Driftwood Beach
This iconic location is known for its weathered driftwood trees and soft coastal light. It’s especially beautiful near sunset and creates a timeless, artistic backdrop.

The Historic District
For families who love a classic Southern feel, the historic district offers oak trees, charming architecture, and quiet pathways that photograph beautifully.

The March 15 session will take place in the evening during golden hour, which is the most flattering and luminous light of the day. The sun sits low on the horizon, creating soft tones, glowing skin, and that dreamy coastal atmosphere that makes beach portraits so special.

My goal during every family session is to keep things relaxed and natural. I gently guide you while leaving plenty of space for genuine connection—laughter, movement, and those sweet in-between moments that tell the story of your family.

The images from sessions like these often become some of the most treasured photographs families have.

Planning to be on Jekyll Island next week? A limited number of portrait sessions are offered during my time on the island each season.

One final golden hour session is available on March 15.

If you would love timeless family portraits on the coast, inquire soon to reserve the remaining session. info@yvonneniemannphotography.com  |  706.713.0676

Fall Family Pictures St Louis

Such an honor to be invited back to St. Louis for this fall family pictures year after year. I have been photographing this family since their eldest was still in his mom’s belly and have continued documenting their lives and milestones ever since.

Over the past few years, we have held their fall family pictures at their home for convenience. Dad came home from work just as the sun was setting and was able to participate just in time! His work is down the road and doing their session at home allowed him to dash home, get changed and join the family for their portraits. In fact, I remember him doing that for their son’s newborn portraits too, so it has been an ongoing tradition!

These two love and adore each other so much. I remember when little sister was born and how protective and loving big brother was to her. In fact, he was the only one to get her to laugh and smile as a baby. Seems to work to this day!

They have a great yard to play and explore. Their beloved tree had to make a debut once again. Very fitting for these two.

St. Louis Family Photographer – Fall Portraits

I have been photographing this dear family since their eldest daughter was a newborn. As a St. Louis family photographer, it is always such an honor and joy to document them every year. This year they invited their nanny to be in their family portraits, which was such a delight. She is after all a big part of their family dynamic!

We did their fall family portraits at their home, which was super convenient for everyone and their busy schedules. Their property is beautiful and we were able to use their favorite spots for their backdrop. Always great to photograph sessions at places that are comfortable and have meaning for families.

Looking forward to St. Louis sessions next week. I still have a few open spots left, so if you would like to book a session while I am in town, October 3-6, contact me as soon as possible. I would love to discuss options with you. Both full Signature and shorter Simplicity sessions are available. Inquire for details. info@yvonneniemannphotography.com  |  706.713.0676

Love this area of the historic district of Jekyll Island. Pretty walkways, roads, buildings, trees and scenery. It is like taking a step back in time in many ways. I have been photographing my daughter in this exact location for the last few summers and it never disappoints.

There is something about the ocean in black and white that feels both quiet and dramatic.

In this image from Jekyll Island, the clouds along the horizon almost become their own landscape, while the waves rolling onto shore add movement, texture and depth. A simple beach scene, but one that feels timeless.

What a beautiful way to spend part of summer break - studying, writing papers and taking quizzes while tucked away on Jekyll Island. Not a bad “classroom” at all.

She is heading into her sophomore year at GCSU, and this portrait felt like the perfect way to mark the season - relaxed, confident and surrounded by the timeless beauty of Jekyll Island’s historic district, with live oaks and Spanish moss framing the moment.

Had the best time photographing this beautiful girl on Jekyll Island this past week.

Her mom dreamed of soft clouds, magical color, gentle ocean waves and a calm evening without too much wind - and Jekyll delivered.

It was the sweetest way to begin the week and such a special reminder that preteen portraits deserve to feel just as meaningful, beautiful and timeless.
