Heirloom Photography In Athens, GA

These siblings came in for an heirloom photography session. Mom chose to do a Signature Session to allow more time for her four kiddos and to get some additional images of the baby in the family. Worked out marvelously.

Outfits for the gals came from an Etsy store and big brother’s outfit is from Target. Great finds that are fitting for an heirloom photography session while coordinating for when everyone is together like in the above image, but also looks great one-on-one.

I hold heirloom photography events each season, but also offer personalized heirloom sessions when you need a bit more time and variety in your images.

Differences in heirloom photography sessions:

Heirloom portrait events

Short 15 minute time slots for an individual child. Siblings can be booked back to back to allow a sibling portrait. The background is a white backdrop.

The signature heirloom session

Lasts up to 90 minutes and can include multiple children and even family pets. You can choose to do the heirloom photography session at your home, outside or at the Yvonne Niemann Photography home studio. You can choose your backdrop as well as a few different sitting options. There are several different backdrops to choose from – white, gray, cream and hand painted muslins in various neutral shades. Sitting options include various stools, chairs, a bench and a settee. If you want other images that are not heirloom portraits, you can do that too during a signature heirloom photography session!

Simplicity heirloom sessions

Last 30 minutes and can be for an individual child who needs more time to warm up or would like to include a family pet or one other child. These sessions can be done at your home, outdoors or the Yvonne Niemann Photography home studio. You can also choose your backdrop as well as a sitting options.

 

If you are unsure of what type of heirloom photography session would fit your family/children best, don’t hesitate to reach out. I am always happy to discuss options with you and to find the perfect fit for your needs. Inquire for details and to be added to the calendar. info@yvonneniemannphotography.com  |  706.713.0676

If you are taking advantage of these blossoming trees for your Spring session, consider pastels for your wardrobe’s color palette. These colors are perfect for a cherry blossom portrait. It coordinates with the beauty of the flowering trees and the early Spring greens. This family’s photos are the perfect example of what to wear for your cherry or apple tree portraits.

These cherry trees will only be in bloom for two weeks, so contact me as soon as possible to get on the calendar. Simplicity and Signature Sessions are both available. Very limited availability. BOOK NOW!

3 Month Milestone Pictures In Studio

Every milestone in a baby’s first year of life is worth documenting! This little girl is part of the Watch Me Grow program. I photographed her mom for her maternity portraits and then I photographed their newborn session at their home in the Fall. Her three month milestone pictures was such a treat. Her mom chose to do the session in studio since that is what we did for the maternity images. We used the same backdrop and even used the stool we used for some of the maternity portraits. Love to bring everything together like that when possible.

The little lady wore a handmade dress for her 3 month milestone pictures. Very fitting for this southern lady. Mom chose the most perfect dress too. The blue and white is such a classic choice.  The delicate pattern and flowy material works wonderfully for motherhood and baby portraits. Very flattering too.

Big sisters and brother joined in on a few images at the end once lil’ sis had enough. Always a delight photographing the siblings during a milestone session.

If you are expecting and wondering when to schedule your maternity photo session, I recommend 31-34 weeks of pregnancy or when your belly goes past your bust-line.

This is a great time as it is obvious that you are pregnant so you can show off your beautiful curves. It is also a time when you are still fairly comfortable and therefore are able to move more freely. Of course, this is just a guideline. Every woman is different in her pregnancy journey. If you aren't showing much during these weeks, just hold off until your belly has popped out a bit more. This is why I mention waiting until your belly goes past your bust-line.

This is such a wonderful time in a woman's life and worth documenting. Your finished photographic artwork will mean more to you as the years go by and your children will love looking at these portraits as they grow up. What an amazing gift to be able to see your mom carrying you with so much love, excitement and anticipation!

I had the honor to photograph this soon to be grad for his senior portraits. I have been photographing him and his family for the past 10 years. Surreal to watch him grow into a young man and get ready to embark on his college career. UNG will be happy to have him!
