Maternity Photoshoot At State Botanical Garden of Georgia

This couple’s maternity photoshoot at Botanical Garden in Athens, GA was such a delight. We really lucked out with all the beauty that was gifted to us from Mother Nature.

Such variety at the gardens. Love this area with all the snap dragons and other  beautiful pastel flowers. The white flowering trees, vines and bushes add extra dimension and interest too. Beautiful!

We finished things off on one of the many bridges at the gardens. Such a pleasure photographing these two at their maternity photoshoot as they prepare to welcome their first baby into the world.

If you are expecting and would like maternity portraits, contact Athens, GA maternity photographers at Yvonne Niemann Photography today to schedule your session. I recommend doing your maternity photoshoot during the first part of your third trimester. This is when you are showing off those beautiful curves and usually still comfortable enough to move around for portraits. Both Simplicity and Signature sessions are available. Inquire for details.  info@yvonneniemannphotography.com  |  706.713.0676

Why Choose Studio Pregnancy Photos

Why choose studio pregnancy photos

When you are planning your pregnancy photos, there are so many options for locations. You may be wondering if you should do your session at home, outdoors or in studio. Here are a few reasons to hold your maternity session in the Yvonne Niemann Photography studio.

1. You love the classic look

If you love the classic and traditional look of portraits where the focus goes straight to you, then opt for a studio portrait session. There is something about the simplicity of images like this that resonates with clients. There are a few choices for the backdrop, but the one shown here is a favorite with clients. There are two other hand painted cream backdrops and a couple of gray ones as well. These hand painted backdrops are beautiful and give your images a fine art polished look. If you prefer a plain backdrop, there are white, gray and cream seamless paper options.

2. You don’t want to deal with weather

Another great reason for studio pregnancy photos is it is a controlled environment. You don’t have to worry if it is cold, hot, humid or raining. This can be quite an advantage especially for those who are expecting during the hot Summer months or in the cold Winter months. Comfort is key – especially when you are pregnant.

3. No hassles

When you do a studio maternity session, you don’t have the hassle of cleaning up the house. A lot of expecting moms who want indoor portraits want things just taken care of. During the nesting phase, your home may not be quite ready for photos quite yet, so going somewhere else sometimes is a nice option.

Also, if you have other children at home, like this mom pictured here, you may appreciate some quiet time where you get to be pampered and have full focus on yourself. This is actually the reason why this mom chose her portraits in studio.

4. You want everything taken care of for you

When you do a studio session at the Yvonne Niemann Photography studio, everything is taken care of for you. I’ll talk to you prior to get the set-up that works best for your style, wants and needs. If you bring other family members, they can watch TV, browse the internet, play and have some snacks while they wait for their turn. There is a bathroom for you to change your clothes and do touch ups. I am always happy to help you choose your outfit/s and assist with hair and makeup. I also have various pieces of furniture to choose from to give some variety to your images. These are also things that you may like to use for future photo sessions to bring things full circle once your baby arrives and grows up.

Ready for studio pregnancy photos? Contact Yvonne Niemann Photography today for additional details and to be added to the calendar. I recommend contacting me when you are in your second trimester to get on the calendar for a session when you are at the beginning or middle of your third trimester. This is when you can show off your new baby curves, but are still comfortable. Inquire today. info@yvonneniemannphotography.com  |  706.713.0676

Timing is everything when it comes to beach portrait sessions.

There’s a reason I plan my sessions for the edges of the day. Right before sunrise and just before sunset, the sun sits low on the horizon, wrapping everything in soft, golden light. It’s flattering, gentle on skin tones, and creates that dreamy glow you simply can’t replicate at noon. The wind calms, the beach feels peaceful, and the magic naturally unfolds.

This sweet mother-daughter moment was captured on Jekyll Island at Driftwood Beach just as the sun was rising — when the sky turns pastel and the reflections shimmer along the shoreline.

When you trust the light, you get images that feel timeless, effortless, and full of heart.

Go ahead and use that fine china, crystal and silver. No need to save for a special event or when you have people over. You are worth it. They are just material things and meant to be used. YOU can be the main event - every day.
Mounted prints are meant to be held, displayed, and passed down.

Unlike standard prints, mounted prints are bonded to a sturdy backing so they don’t bend, ripple, or warp over time. They feel substantial in your hands — because your memories deserve to be.

For my clients, this means artwork that stays beautiful on your walls, sits perfectly on easels, and lasts for generations.

Digital has its place… but nothing compares to seeing your people in print.

I have always been inspired by nature and it will always be something I love to photograph. I think it shows in my work with my portrait sessions too. I love finding locations that have elements of nature I adore. Magical lighting. layers of foliage, pretty flowers, pathways, tunnels of trees, boulders, various water elements and all the little details in between. 

Looking forward to Spring and all that it brings. Since moving to Georgia, it is my absolute favorite season. What's your favorite?

As things are warming up, nature is coming alive. You can see hints of it with grass greening up, tiny buds on trees and certain flowers showing off their beauty already. That also means that cherry blossoms will be flowering in the near future too! 

I'll be keeping an eye on things and when I have a better prediction of when they will be in bloom, I'll make an announcement. Stay tuned. 

Let me know if you are interested in a session among the cherry blossoms and I'll give you status updates and you will get first dibs on date/times.

In a world where first impressions often happen online, a professional headshot is no longer a luxury - it's a necessity. Whether you're an entrepreneur, creative, or business owner, your headshot is often the first introduction someone has to you. It should feel confident, authentic, and aligned with where you are going - not just where you've been.
