Contest Winner! | St. Louis Professional Photographer

April 27, 2010

I entered this image for a photography contest earlier in the month. The theme was Spring and had to be shot using natural light. This portrait fit that bill. There were over 700 entries and my photo was among the top 50! I won $100 to use towards The Light Workshop! Yay!

You probably recognize this image from a recent post of a tea party in a beautiful apple orchard!

{I had this image enlarged to 20×24 and framed for my living room wall! This is just one of the frames included in the Yvonne Niemann Photography product lineup that will debut in June}

“Lala Land”

What started as a few messages between strangers turned into something so much more. Two sisters, two new friends… and a leap of faith that became a home.

Now, they’re not just roommates - they’re chosen family. A place filled with laughter, support, comfort, and the kind of connection that defines a freshman year.

The sweetest beginning to friendships that will last a lifetime.

When I asked this little girl where her favorite spots are on her home property, she mentioned the peonies out front. They were in full bloom and her little hands couldn’t resist them as she showed me some of her most beloved flowers.

At sessions, I always encourage incorporating the things your children love most into your portraits. These details may feel small now, but they become part of their story - their season, their wonder, their childhood. The result? Images that feel personal, meaningful, and timeless.

here’s something about black & white that feels especially timeless. With everything else stripped away, the focus gently falls where it should… on connection, expression, and the people you love most.

From freshman year at UGA to graduation day. 🤍

These four have been friends — and roommates — since the very beginning, making this session such a sweet celebration of not only where they are going, but everything they have shared along the way.

What a beautiful season to remember.

There will always be a place for digital, but my heart belongs to prints. Linen boxes filled with photographs you can touch, flip through, and pass down. Tangible artwork truly stands the test of time.

Heirloom portraits are such a treasured Southern tradition — timeless, refined, and meant to be passed down for generations. I loved creating these classic images at this year’s Spring Heirloom Portrait Event and preserving a little piece of childhood in such a beautiful way.

Our sweet Bella girl is growing up so beautifully. The last time I introduced her here, she was still such a tiny puppy. Now, at a little over a year old, she is still very much our baby, just a bit bigger. Her "feathers” have come in and her hair has grown beautifully. Bella is the most cuddly, playful, loving dog, and she has completely stolen our hearts. Love her to pieces.
