Romantic Maternity Outdoor Photography in Oconee County

“Simplicty and naturalness are the truest marks of distinction.” ~ W. SOMERSET MAUGHAM

Summer maternity pictures at a park in Watkinsville, GA.

I absolutely adore romantic maternity outdoor photography, especially here in the Athens area of Georgia. The beautiful landscapes here lend well to the glow and romance of pregnancy. When this stunning mom-to-be arrived for her maternity portrait session I knew that her outfit would be perfect for this location on the shoals and among the wooded area. We had discussed wardrobe options prior to her session and I think what she decided on is a great example of what to wear to highlight pregnancy. The dress isn’t a maternity gown, but the princess waist worked wonderfully and was flattering for C’s third trimester figure. The green color complemented her red hair, skin tone and the natural surrounding. Going barefoot on the rock shoals was a natural as it gave a natural elegance and ease to her final images. Love how her husband coordinated with her while keeping things relaxed, yet dressed up enough to work with his wife’s outfit. Their love for each other really shines through in their images. It was wonderful thing to witness and capture with my camera.

Tangible Professional Photos

“The simplest things give me ideas.” ~ JOAN MIRO

Tangible professional photos in an heirloom box offered by best Athens, GA photographer.

I believe strongly in tangible photography products and the Heirloom Box is just one of the many high-end offerings at Yvonne Niemann Photography. In this digital age, many times people don’t print their images, even their most important and cherished photographs, which I believe is a huge mistake. I have always loved holding pictures in my hands, flipping through albums and staring at framed portraits of my loved ones. It has given me a glimpse at my grandparents’ lives as children, young loves, new parents, friends, grandparents and then great grandparents. It has let me know my parents a bit better as I saw pictures of them with grass-stained jeans, mischievous smiles, awkward prom pictures, smiles of adoration towards my sister and I and the joyful moments caught by the camera that let me see things with a different perspective now as an adult and parent myself. It really makes me happy to know that my daughter, and some day her children, will have the same glimpse into her family’s past. I make a point to archive photos that I take in printed form as I know technology fails and there is something priceless about looking at tangible photographic images versus those on a computer or electronic device. It is something I have always wanted for my clients as well, which is why I have always strived to find the very best heirloom quality tangible photo products to offer in my business.

The heirloom box shown above holds maternity and newborn portraits as loose prints that have a white border. Each box is covered in a natural linen material and is handcrafted by artisans in California. One side hold the cherished photos and then there is a compartment that is great for adding sentimental items, such as a hospital bracelet, first pacifier, baby booties or perhaps a rattle. It serves as a sort of time capsule, but can be enjoyed now and throughout the years when you want to be reminded of a certain time in your life.

Other tangible heirloom photographic products are available through Yvonne Niemann Photography. Inquire for details.

Spring Outdoor Maternity Photography

“There are always flowers for those who want to see them.” ~ HENRI MATISSE

Outdoor maternity photography in Athens, GA area in a field of flowers.

This Spring outdoor maternity photography session took place in a farm field right outside Athens, GA. It was a beautiful evening for this loving couple’s portraits. The tiny purple flowers coordinated well with the color of Mrs. L’s pregnancy dress, which was no accident. We collaborated together to come up with the perfect outfit to go with this particular location. Great example of what to wear for Spring pregnancy photos.

The dainty purple flowers really added to this location and the romance of this time of pregnancy. I love how the new growth in the Spring relates so well to the growth of a baby in a mom’s womb. Such a miracle. This mom-to-be didn’t have to wait long to meet her new baby boy as he arrived the day after this couple’s photo session.

What do you do when your baby is approaching their first birthday, but August is bringing the heat? Schedule your portrait session in the morning.

Little ones are often awake early and happiest after a good night’s sleep. Add in cooler temperatures, soft morning light and plenty of sweet smiles, and it is a win all around.

Beautiful light. Happy baby. Comfortable family. Win, win, win.

Wondering when to schedule your maternity photos? I typically recommend planning your session toward the beginning of the third trimester - when your beautiful belly is showing, but you are still comfortable enough to move, explore and enjoy the experience.

This summer maternity session took place along the shoals, where the cool water offered a refreshing escape from the Georgia heat and a beautiful setting for documenting this family before their newest little one arrived.

The third trimester is also the perfect time to reserve your newborn session. I keep my newborn calendar intentionally light and flexible, so whether your baby arrives earlier or later than expected, your family is guaranteed a place on my schedule.

Sibling images are such an important part of a newborn session. They preserve the very beginning of a lifelong relationship—the wonder, curiosity and tenderness of welcoming a new baby into the family.

Toddlers do not always understand posing, so sometimes we turn it into a game. For this image, I tucked a little surprise near baby brother, encouraging his big sister to lean in and look closely. The result is a beautifully natural moment that feels connected, timeless and entirely her.
