Favorite Color – Mother Nature

“I have found that if you love life, life will love you back.” ~ ARTHUR RUBINSTEIN

pretty pictures of mother nature taken by Yvonne Niemann Photography

I am part of a photography circle where twelve photographers follow a certain theme each month and show their interpretation through their photographs. This month, the theme is “favorite color”.

My daughter asks me quite often what my favorite color is and I honestly have a hard time answering her. Sometimes I answer green. Sometimes I answer cream. Sometimes I answer blue. Sometimes I answer metallic gold. After some thought, I realized that the reason why I don’t have one specific favorite color is because my favorite colors are what I see outdoors given to me from Mother Nature. I really cannot choose just one color to label as my favorite. I do gravitate towards soft delicate colors and I also love tone on tone. This is apparent in what I choose to photograph outside for my own personal projects and in the locations that I choose for my clients. My favorite colors mimic what is around me during that season. In autumn and winter, I adore metallic gold, cream, white and pale blue and gray. These are the same colors that are seen in the golden fields, the crisp blue sky, snow, cloudy days and exposed rocks. In the Spring and Summer I love various colors of green and pastel pinks, purple and blues that are seen in fresh grass, fields of new crops and all the pretty flowers and tree blossoms as well as those amazing blue skies with fluffy clouds. So, I guess my favorite colors are just driven by what makes me happy and what I find beautiful around me driven by mother nature.

So, what’s your favorite color? Do you know why it’s your favorite? I’d love to hear what you answer!

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.

Independence Day
4th of July 
Savannah historic district
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.

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!
