“Heaven is under our feet as well as over our heads.” ~ Henry David Thoreau

I had the opportunity to create elegant maternity photography for this lovely family last night just outside of Athens, GA. The water on the shoals gave much needed relief from the southern summer heat. A little bit over a year ago I photographed this beautiful couple for the first time when they were expecting their first baby. Such a treat to photograph their second pregnancy! They are such wonderful parents and SO in love with each other, their son and their growing baby that they will soon meet and welcome into their family.

Miss L is wearing a maternity dress from the Yvonne Niemann Photography wardrobe closet. I love the delicate lace, subtle pattern, creamy white and how it flows across the pregnancy curves in such a flattering way. Her husband’s outfit coordinated nicely with her dress and complemented their surroundings. Great example of what to wear for elegant maternity photography. Wait until you see how they dressed their one year old baby boy! Those images will be coming soon, but you will just have to trust me on how perfect it was for now.

There are a few more maternity outfits in the Athens, GA family photographer’s closet. Inquire for details. If you would like images like this for yourself, contact Yvonne Niemann Photography today to get on the calendar. End of Summer and Fall sessions are filling up fast, so this is the perfect time to claim your spot.

This beautiful mom-to-be wanted an outdoor pregnancy photo shoot surrounded by water and the natural shoals that can be found throughout Georgia. I immediately thought of this stunning area just outside of Athens, GA. It worked out perfectly. She chose this outfit to show off her baby bump and the glow that comes from within. On this particular day, we were the only ones at this location, which helped keep things intimate and allowed me to shoot various angles. It’s what I prefer and seek out. Pregnancy is such a miraculous time and it is always such an honor to capture its wonder through my camera. This stunning lady was in her early weeks of her third trimester during her maternity portraits, which is the perfect time to document the glory of pregnancy. Usually, moms are still comfortable and their beautiful curves make it evident that they are with child, regardless if they are exposing their skin or are covered.

If you are expecting and would like an outdoor pregnancy photo session surrounded by the beauty of Georgia’s landscape, contact Athens, GA maternity photographer, Yvonne Niemann photography, to claim your spot on the calendar. I look forward to hearing from you!

“The most beautiful things in the world cannot be seen or even touched, they must be felt with the heart.” ~ HELEN KELLER

Portraits of pregnancy during your last trimester is such a wonderful time to document through photography. These are some of the final moments as a family of two. So many emotions running through parents-to-be; love, excitement, anticipation, hope, nervousness, eagerness, wonderment and romance.

These two live in Oconee County and have strong ties to UGA, so they asked to split up the session in both locations, which I thought was a great idea to tell their story. North campus in Athens, GA was so beautiful with green foliage and blossoming trees. Their neighborhood was the perfect place to end their maternity portrait session with the natural landscape and wooden fence that works well with their country style. Love how meaningful both backdrops are to this couple and will continue to be for this family of three! Their comfort for each other and the joy of this time just exudes from these two through their portraits of pregnancy. Such an honor to create photographic art during this special time.

Their wardrobe choices are a great example of what to wear for a couple’s maternity photos. Both dresses show off this mom-to-be’s beautiful baby bump and works well with both locations. Her husband’s outfits complements what she’s wearing and the locations perfectly. A simple change of a shirt makes all the difference in the feel of the images and the settings.
