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.

Fall family pictures St Louis

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.

Fall Extended Family Photographer | St. Louis

I sure miss the vibrancy of Autumn in St. Louis. As an extended family photographer, I was fortunate to spend the most beautiful time of year in the gateway city. I have photographing this family since all the boys were just babies. Now they are all teenagers and one is currently a senior in high school this year. How on earth did that happen?!

We chose Forest Park due to the vibrant colors there. Love how the trees reflect in the water, which just adds more dimension and beauty. Luckily it was a sunny day and even though there were events happening near by in the park, this location wasn’t overly busy and I was able to photograph this sweet family without distractions.

They did a great job coordinating their outfits together and the color palette worked so well with the season. As a professional extended family photographer, I always make sure to give guidance with outfits and even offer free location scouting to find the best place for your family.

Such an honor to photograph this extended family in St. Louis. They all hold such a special place in my heart! So thankful that they trusted me with these special images.

If you are wanting some extended family portraits the next time the entire clan is together, contact extended family photographer of Yvonne Niemann Photography today. I am located in the Athens, GA area, but frequently travel for commissioned sessions. Inquire for details. info@yvonneniemannphotography.com  |  706.713.0676

Some bonds deserve to be remembered forever.

When planning portrait sessions, I always encourage families to include the animals that hold such a special place in their hearts. They are part of your story too.

This sweet girl adores her beloved horse and says he is “the most gentle, loving horse” she has ever known. Watching the two of them together was pure magic. The quiet connection, trust, and love between them is something worth documenting and cherishing for generations.

A quiet field, wildflowers in bloom, and that golden hour glow…the perfect setting to document this once-in-a-lifetime season before she headed to UGA.

These are the moments you’ll always want to remember.

Such an honor photographing this sweet girl for her sitting milestone session this morning. A true dream baby—full of smiles and the softest little coos.

We captured moments in the studio and then stepped outside into this beautiful spring light. This bassinet felt perfectly fitting for both her milestone and the season.

These first-year milestones pass in a blink… but they are the moments you’ll treasure forever.

“Lala Land”

What started as a few messages between strangers turned into something so much more. Two sisters, two new friends… and a leap of faith that became a home.

Now, they’re not just roommates - they’re chosen family. A place filled with laughter, support, comfort, and the kind of connection that defines a freshman year.

The sweetest beginning to friendships that will last a lifetime.

When I asked this little girl where her favorite spots are on her home property, she mentioned the peonies out front. They were in full bloom and her little hands couldn’t resist them as she showed me some of her most beloved flowers.

At sessions, I always encourage incorporating the things your children love most into your portraits. These details may feel small now, but they become part of their story - their season, their wonder, their childhood. The result? Images that feel personal, meaningful, and timeless.
