Tween Photography Portraits in Athens, Georgia

“It is not how much we have, but how much we enjoy that makes happiness.” ~ Charles Haddon Spurgeon

Tween Photography portraits of mother with son in Oconee County, Georgia.

Last night, these two came to the Yvonne Niemann Photography outdoor studio for a petite session. This handsome nine year old’s mom contacted me saying that she wanted to capture her son’s smile, his freckles and his beautiful eyes. She said that he has been in the best of moods over the summer and wanted tween photography portraits documenting this time of his life. I urged her to consider getting in a few shots too as I think it is really important for our children to have images of their parents. This time is so fleeting and it would be a shame not to take the opportunity to freeze the moment through a professional photographer’s camera. I am so glad that she decided at the last minute to join her son in a few images. These images will not only be treasured by her, but also her son. They have such a special bond and the love he has for his mom is so apparent. He will look back at these images over time and see the joy, love and beauty of his mom. She will see the adoration of her son towards her, his beautiful smile, those sparkling eyes, summer sprinkled freckles and the man he is becoming.

I know that as a mom myself, I sometimes have excuses to not get in front of the camera – perhaps I think I need to lose a few pounds, get in better shape, find that “perfect” outfit, want to grow out my hair a bit more, want to wait for a visible scar to heal, etc… But, then I stop and remind myself how my daughter views me and how I viewed my own parents. I think all children see their moms as perfect and beautiful women and their dads are perfect, handsome and super heroes. They don’t see our flaws. In fact, most of the time, they embrace them. I remind myself that me being in front of the camera is not only for me, but most importantly, for my daughter. I will not be around forever and I want her to have images of me when I am gone. I want to be present in her daily life, but I also want to be present in pictures for her. I want proof that I existed and of our love.

Ready to get in front of the camera? Contact Athens, GA family photographer at Yvonne Niemann Photography to schedule your appointment! Now offering Premium and Petite Portrait Sessions. Inquire for details.

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!

Spent some time in Savannah while on Spring break. Such a great way to relax and decompress with family and one of Lily's friends. Had to stop at one of my favorite stores - The Paris Market. What is your favorite shop in Savannah?

It's probably not a big surprise, but I love photographing pretty things in nature during my free time. It brings me so much happiness!!!! Of course, there are times when I leave my camera at home, but most of the time it is with me where I can photograph things that catch my eye. Sometimes it is the way light filters through some trees, architectural elements kissed by the elements, delicate flowers, or vast landscapes. My favorite thing though are all the little details. I tend to isolate elements more than not. It is what I gravitate towards. 

If you like taking pictures, what are your favorite things to capture? Please share!!!!

So proud of my girl. She has committed to Georgia College and will be moving to Milledgeville to start her college career this August. She is a true leader and I know she will find ways to utilize her talents while growing her skill and knowledge at GCSU. 

Love you baby girl! Excited for what is to come.

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 are 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.
