Romantic Winter Maternity Photography

“You cannot perceive beauty but with a serene mind.” ~ HENRY DAVID THOREAU

Romantic winter maternity photography of a couple kissing in the Athens, GA area.

This couple’s winter maternity photography session took place last year right before Christmas, which made a local tree farm in Bisop, GA the perfect location for their portrait backdrop. This time of year is an exciting and magical time, but when you are expecting your first baby, it makes things just that more special. You can just feel the love and joy these two parents have as they eagerly await the birth of their son with great anticipation. It was such an honor to photograph these two during this special time.

Perfect maternity portraits in the Fall taken by Athens, GA pregnancy photographer, Yvonne Niemann.

Oh, what a flash back with this pretty lady. I photographed her for the first time a few years ago for her first pregnancy portraits and here she is again expecting baby boy number two! It was the perfect Fall morning for her maternity photos. Nice crisp start of a day with the glow of the sun hitting the foliage and landscape beautifully. Luckily we were able to get her in as her due date was the very NEXT day. Phew! Just in the nick of time… Congratulations F family on becoming a family of four! Can’t wait to meet the lil’ man next time I am in town.

If you are expecting and would like beautifully perfect maternity portraits this Fall, it’s not too late to get on the calendar. Very limited availability for the remainder of the year, so you’ll want to get on the books as soon as possible. Inquire for details today!

Safekeeping your Maternity and Newborn Portraits

“The future belongs to those who believe in the beauty of their dreams.” ~ ELEANOR ROOSEVELT

Natural linen covered image box offered by Athens, GA family photographer, Yvonne Niemann Photography.Today I delivered this beautiful Heirloom Box to some special clients of mine in Athens, GA. They chose to include images from their maternity and newborn photo sessions into their box, which I think is so fitting to tell the full story of this time in their lives. Safekeeping your precious photographic art is so important and these boxes are perfect for that task. Each Heirloom Box is handmade by artisans and is finished in a natural linen material. The inside holds all of your portraits as shown in your gallery from your session as 4 inch by 6 inch bordered photographic prints. There is an extra compartment to house additional photos as time goes by or other special keepsakes of this time in your life. For this family, I can see them housing their baby’s hospital bracelet, pacifier, perhaps a favorite rattle and maybe ink stamps of their son’s tiny feet and hands. It’s almost like your very own time capsule!

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.
