Peaceful Slumber

“From small beginnings come great things.” ~ Proverb

Natural photography of an infant girl in a peaceful slumber at her home in Watkinsville, GA.

I got to spend my morning with this beautiful newborn girl! I adore how peaceful she looks in this image. She had just relaxed and gone into a deep slumber after a short fussy period. She just needed to be swaddled and left alone. No more handling! I don’t blame her one bit. We messed up her schedule that she is still trying to get down. This lil’ Southern lady is such a dream baby. She slept for almost two hours straight when I first arrived. Super laid back and adores being cuddled with mom and dad. Her big brother is such a charmer and absolutely loves his baby sister. I think he will take good care of Miss S throughout life. He is already doing such a great job at the sweet age of two! We got a great variety of family and newborn portraits during their newborn photography session. Cannot wait to share more! In the meantime, enjoy this adorable image and be jealous this gal’s peaceful slumber.

If you would like natural newborn images like this of your own baby, contact Athens, GA infant photographer at Yvonne Niemann Photography for details and to schedule your session. It’s best to book your new baby’s portrait session while you are still pregnant to ensure your get a spot when your baby arrives.

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.
