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

Maternity Photoshoot At Athens, GA Botanical Gardens

Such a beautiful time at the Botanical Gardens here in Athens, GA this Spring. I got to spend time with this beautiful lady with her husband for their maternity photoshoot. There is nothing like documenting this magical time for couples as they anxiously await their first baby.

We did a morning session at the Gardens to work around their work schedules and to ensure comfortable cooler temps for mom-to-be. It worked out perfectly. Sunny Spring day with lots in bloom. This was a special maternity photoshoot as they are also celebrating their second wedding anniversary this week and are a mere two months away from meeting their baby girl. Such big milestones – all worth documenting.

If you are expecting and aren’t sure when to do your maternity photo session, I suggest booking when you are in your second trimester for a session towards the beginning of your third trimester. This is usually when you are showing beautifully, but aren’t too uncomfortable. This is also a great time to book your newborn session too to ensure you get a spot on the calendar. I keep my schedule rather light and flexible around newborn sessions so if baby comes early or later than the due date, you are guaranteed a spot. Inquire for details and to be added to the calendar. info@yvonneniemannphotography.com  |  706.713.0676

This daughter gave her parents a portrait session for Christmas, and they chose to use it for an extended family session with their children and grandchildren at their daughter’s home in Athens.

Beautiful fall scenery, three generations together and a family who so clearly enjoys being in each other’s company. These are the kinds of photographs that only become more meaningful with time.

A portrait session makes a pretty wonderful gift - especially when the whole family gets to be part of it.

This young lady loves these steps that lead down to the lake. I can see why. Such a peaceful and serene scene that puts anyone's mind at ease. I can envision her coming to her grandparents home for years to come taking in this exact view and it feeding her soul while bringing back memories of her childhood.

Perfect outfits for the last days of summer. 

A classic combination of blues, crisp white and khaki beautifully complements the season and echoes the soft shades found in nature. Timeless choices that will photograph beautifully now—and still feel classic for years to come.

There’s something extra meaningful about an heirloom portrait when your little one is wearing something made by hand.  A homemade gown or outfit carries its own story - the time, love and care that went into creating it - making the finished portrait feel even more timeless.

These are the details that turn a beautiful image into a true family heirloom, meant to be treasured and passed down for generations.

Three months of sweet smiles, bright eyes and so much personality already. 

This little guy’s session was part of my Watch Me Grow Plan, designed to document those important milestones throughout baby’s first year. Because they change so quickly, and every stage deserves to be remembered.
