Fly Fishing in Roaring River

Not too long ago my family went on our annual fishing trip to Roaring River with my husband’s family. Michael has been going there with his dad since he was a little boy and we’ve continued the tradition. I always enjoy these trips and they are even more special to me now that our daughter is getting older. She loves fishing with her daddy, but it’s usually just across the street at the local pond with a bucket full of minnows. As a family, we cherish those short little fishing experiences, but nothing beats Roaring River and passing down those traditions. I’m not the best fisherwoman, but I do enjoy being out in nature, smelling the fresh air with the mix of campfire, fallen leaves and whatever happens to be on the menus of the local campers {mmmmm….the smell of bacon & coffee in the morning}. We now stay in the cabins and eat at the local cafes/diners on our trips, but I sure do love the atmosphere. It’s a time to unwind, relax, recharge and spend quality time with family. I don’t receive any internet or phone connections out there, so it really forces me to focus on the task at hand – quality family time. I’m so thankful for Roaring River and all the memories we’ve made and will continue to make there. My heart melted so many times seeing Lily with her daddy. She adores her daddy as much as I do and it’s so touching to see the two of them together this way. There were so many Kodak moments on this trip, but the image above of Michael teaching Lily how to fly fish pretty much sums it all up. Need I say more? Swoon!

I love nature and taking pictures of all that Mother Nature gifts us. Unfortunately, I haven't taken the time to photograph the beauty around me as often as I would like. So, I plan on doing more of that going forward. It is something that feeds my soul and gives me so much joy. Thankfully, I never stopped documenting the beauty around me, but I certainly would love to do it more. Stay tuned. More pretty pictures will be scattered through my feed in the future.

At extended family portrait sessions, we do a lot of break outs to get images of individual families and relationships that you want documented. This includes couples! For younger families, this is the perfect time to get your portraits taken with your spouse when others are around to entertain your littles. For those who don't have tiny children, this is a great time to relax and bask in the love with your significant other. A time to sneak away from the chaos for just a bit.

When it is hot out, head to the shoals to cool off for your portraits! That is exactly what we did for this mama's maternity photography session. 

This is a location that I scout out often to ensure it is safe before sessions. If the water is too high and flowing too fast it is a no go. Luckily, it was pure perfection last night. Enough dry areas and plenty of water flow to make it dream worthy and a safe place for mom and her family. 

A few tips for sessions at this location:
1. Spray on some bug spray. 
2. Bring shoes easy to take off for when you get to the water.
3. Have a towel handy for drying off your feet after the session.
4. If you are heading somewhere after your portraits, bring a change of clothes as you will most likely get a tad wet. 
5. I will make sure to pick areas that aren't too slippery, but go slow and shuffle your feet as you walk in the water.

If would like a session on the shoals, just let me know. We have a few places in the Oconee County and Athens areas to choose from. I will pick the location that is most perfect for your portraits.

One of the many pleasures that I get to do as a photographer is documenting childhood and relationships of all ages. 

Big milestones are such a privilege to photograph for families and especially ones where I know the artwork will be displayed for generations to come. 

I think that is one of the reasons why I adore heirloom sessions so much. They are classic pieces that will never go out of style. 

Looking at this image, it reminds me of a sibling image of my mom with her brother and sisters back in the 50s. Love that families continue the tradition of heirloom portraiture. 

My favorite way to display images like this is on a canvas and framed in an ornate frame on the wall alongside past generations portraits. 

You can book heirloom portrait sessions any time with Yvonne Niemann Photography, but if you want a shorter session, you may want to consider booking one of the heirloom portrait event spots. They are offered each season of the year. The Summer event takes place on July 14. There are still spots available, so if you would like to be added to the calendar, don't hesitate to contact me. Simply send me a message or book online using the link in the bio.

Summer flowers to end the session and to take home to place in a vase. Simple pleasures mean so much!

Ringing the UGA bell for one last time to celebrate graduating is a great feeling! Can you feel it?! I sure can. When thinking of locations for your graduation portraits, think of those places that meant a lot to you while you were in school. Could be on or off campus. Make a list and we will make sure to document you in those sentimental areas for you!
