Motherhood – Jekyll Island Photographer

It is such an honor to travel and photograph families in their favorite spots.  I got to be these girls’ Jekyll Island Photographer during their annual Summer vacation! We did two sessions.  One on Driftwood Beach and another in the historic district of the Island. They love the beach, but they also are drawn to the Spanish moss that cascades down the branches of the live oak trees. Best of both worlds!

Their outfits were perfect for this setting.  This is aa great example of how to dress for your portrait session.  The little girl’s dress has a bit of the green that is in her mom’s dress and the colors coordinate with their surroundings.

Driftwood Beach Family Photos | Jekyll Island

So good to be back on Jekyll Island once again! This sunrises session was such a delight. Girl’s trip of three generations is so special and I am glad they decided to document the occasion with Driftwood Beach family photos. This was their first time on this beach and it did not disappoint. It is truly one of a kind!

These sisters have a great relationship with each other and with their mom and grandmother. It is truly a delight to witness and to capture through my camera. We started their session in what I would refer to as “the forest” and then we moved over for some fun in the surf.

When I saw this log, I knew we had to put it to use. Isn’t is just dreamy with the clouded sky, ocean, sand and the character of the aged wood?

Love that they were game to getting wet and sandy as I think it really added to their Driftwood Beach family photos. There is nothing like cooling off and playing in the ocean. So much fun. Portrait sessions do not need to be boring!

Sweetest way to start the day! Yes. Sunrise sessions are early, but soooo worth it. Coolest time of day, beaches are less populated and the light is soft and perfect. Another bonus is once your session is over, you can go enjoy the rest of your day.

I will be on Jekyll Island through June 28th.  If you are here and want last minute Driftwood Beach family photos, send me a message.  Would love hear from you! info@yvonneniemannphotography.com  |  706.713.0676

Driftwood Beach Professional Mother Daughter Portraits

I have been photographing these ladies since this little lady was in her mom’s belly.  It has been such an honor to document them every year. This session was part of their girls trip in their special place on Jekyll Island.  Professional mother daughter portraits at Driftwood Beach is always a treat. Such a magical place with all the trees that are sculptures made by Mother Nature through the years. The soft sand under your feet, beautiful. water and that beautiful sky as the sun rises is such a gift. We started their morning session by some of the trees and then we moved over to the more cleared beach area.

Serendipity to have a boat pass in the background for the image below of this mother daughter duo.

The birds seem to be in unison with this beauty she ran the beach. I had her wait to run until the birds were in the correct vantage point for this image.

Such a special bond these two have. Always a joy to see them and how they interact together. Can you feel it?!

At the end of the session we stopped at this walkway on the way back to the car. Perfect lighting as the sun became too bright on the beach. Also gave more variety for their professional mother daughter portraits.

Their wardrobe selection was perfect for their Driftwood Beach professional mother daughter portraits. The pastel color palette mimicked the colors of the beach, ocean and sky that morning. Will also look great with their home decor. Always great to consider where your finished artwork will be displayed to ensure it all fits together.

If you are wanting images like this for yourself, let me know. I often travel for portrait sessions. Will be on Jekyll Island June 18-28 this Summer. I have some openings left for both Simplicity and Signature Sessions. Contact me as soon as possible for details and to be added to the calendar. info@yvonneniemannphotography.com  |  706.713.0676
