Oconee County High School Graduation Portraits

Graduation portraits are always so much fun to create, but also meaningful for both the Senior and the parents. Most Seniors think of this portrait session for such a long time – planning their outfits, hair and makeup along with selecting the location. They want to look their best, show off their personality and share with all their friends after the fact! The experience can sometimes be a bit emotional for parents as they think of how much their child has grown and how they will be leaving the nest in a few short months. It is also a very proud moment though too. These images will grace the family home’s wall for years to come, so you want something timeless and natural, but is a true reflection of this time. This is something I always keep in mind for my clients and help guide them through the process.

We held the session in this beauty’s neighborhood, which happens to be mine as well! In fact, you will notice these exact settings in a lot of the portraits I take. She wanted something outdoors to compliment her personality and her beauty. This worked out perfectly – especially with that beautiful glow you get before sunset!

I love both outfits this Senior chose for her graduation portraits. The dress really complimented the colors offered by Mother Nature while giving a subtle pop of color to the final images. The boots and jewelry showed off her style a bit further. The jeans with the silk top and sweater is a perfect example of how to use neutrals in your wardrobe for graduation portraits. Love the texture of the sweater and the detailing around the collar of the shirt. It kept things natural and casual for the setting, but it was dressed up just enough, fitting for portraits. Perfect example of what to wear for senior photos.

Mom loved the images of her daughter laughing as she said that is exactly how her daughter is! She really does have a great smile and her face just lights up with her laugh and sparkling eyes. Quite contagious!

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.

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!

Jekyll Island was divine this year during my time there for portrait sessions. Weather was perfect. No worries about scheduling around rain this time and the ocean's tides were even cooperative for those beach sessions. Wind was only super strong on one evening, but a quick change of location and we were just fine. Yes. These are all things I worry about as a photographer at beaches. So many elements to think about and to pull together. Happy dances all around when things all come together and work in our favor!!!

LOVE the light coming through the Live Oak Trees and Spanish Moss in this image.
