Motherhood Photography in Oconee County, GA

“All those cliches, those things you hear about having a baby and motherhood – all of them are true. And all of them are the most beautiful things you will ever experience.” ~ PENELOPE CRUZ

Portrait of motherhood near Athens, GA.

This morning I had the privilege to photograph the joy and adoration of motherhood in Bishop, GA. Can’t you just feel the love these two have for each other? I can’t get enough of the sweet look on this three month old baby boy’s face and I adore how his mom is looking at him with such happiness. She is just glowing in her new role in life.

We held their photo session in the new parents’ bedroom as the light was really pretty and the pretty linens worked perfectly with mother and son’s outfits. If you are wondering what to wear for your baby’s portrait session, this is a great example. The baby’s organic outfit is from Zara and is a part of the Yvonne Niemann Photography closet for clients to borrow. It is sized 3-6 months and is super comfy and photographs really well. The sweater material, star pattern on the front and natural wooden buttons add some texture while keeping the palette neutral, which allows the focus to be on the sweet baby’s face and special personality. I love what mom picked to coordinate with her son and bedroom. The pattern on the sleeves and pretty jewelry really takes the outfit to the next level – dressing things up a tad, while showing off mom’s style and essence. It all works so well with the neutral colors of the bedroom that has just a bit of pop of color. Sophisticated, elegant and timeless! Just perfect for portraits that will become family heirlooms.

Love to photograph couples during their family portrait sessions. These two always make sure to take the time to get images together while their kiddos explore, play or make them laugh from behind my camera.

Five portrait boxes headed out yesterday to their forever homes! Great way to archive and enjoy your session images. 

Each box is covered in linen fabric, debossed with a laurel leaf and filled with loose bordered prints.

Two seniors looking forward to graduation. 

What a crazy busy school year for the parents of this duo. 

Brother is graduating from Oconee County High School and big sister is graduating from Georgia College and State University. Lot of big milestones in this family up ahead and such a joy to be able to photograph their updated family portraits this Fall. 

Congrats to these two and all 2026 grads!

Mounted prints give your portraits stability. No bending, tearing or warping. Perfect for popping into a frame, on an easel or leaning on a photo ledge.

Saw this adorable horsey in this young man's house and knew we could utilize it for some of his portraits. Love to use sentimental and favorite items in photo sessions. Do your lil' ones have a favorite lovey? Consider featuring it in your prized images!

Fall sessions are in full swing, and I get asked all the time — “What should we wear?”

Here’s my go-to advice for families.

Coordinate, Don’t Match
- Pick 3–4 colors that complement each other — think warm neutrals, soft rust, olive, cream, and denim. It looks effortless and timeless!

Mix Textures
- Knit sweaters, flowy dresses, corduroy pants — these add cozy depth that shines in photos.

Layer Lightly
- Southern fall can go from 80° to breezy in minutes. Add a light cardigan, vest, or  jacket you can slip on or off.

Avoid Loud Prints & Logos
- Keep the focus on your faces (and those sweet smiles). Solid colors and subtle patterns photograph beautifully.

Most Important: Be you!
- When you feel comfortable and confident, the connection and love between your family truly shine.

Golden light, warm tones, and happy hearts — that’s the magic of fall sessions!

Lots of flowers still out there this Fall! Beautiful days, full of sunshine and Mother Nature's gifts surround us. Hints of Autumn are here and full on color should be in the Athens, GA area by the end of the month and into next month. Just two weeks away!!!!!

Photo sessions don't have to be so serious! After we get the must have shots of everyone smiling and looking at the camera, we get to play. This time, the eldest son got to surprise dad, which resulted in fun, animated and real images. Just a little glimpse into their lives.
