Athens, GA Child Photographer | Portraits on the Shoals

I had the great honor of photographing this handsome ten year old for his birthday portraits on the shoals of Watson Mill Bridge State Park. As a child photographer based out of Athens, Georgia, I am so blessed with such great scenery and natural landscapes to use as backdrops for portraits. So many options to fit anyone’s personality and style. This particular setting was perfect for this Southern tween boy. He loves the outdoors and feels right at home in the woods and in water.

His mom joined in for a few mother/son portraits too, which is something I always encourage. These two have such a special bond and I am so glad that they will have these images to enjoy now and into the future.

I cannot get over how mature he looks in these photos. I have been photographing this family for three years now and it is amazing to see everyone grow and change over the years. He really enjoyed being in front of the camera and naturally set into comfortable poses. He made my job as a child photographer super easy! It was fun for me and Mr. J exclaimed how fun it was for him after his portrait session. That always makes me happy!

If you haven’t been to Watson Mill Bridge State Park, make sure to check it out! Kids play on the shoals as they serve as natural water slides in the Summer and it is a great place for hiking and camping in the Fall. It is also a favorite place for our family to go canoeing. We always bring our own canoe, but you can rent them there if needed. Great place to bring your horse too! Landscape photos of Watson Mill covered bridge in Georgia.

If you would like images like this for yourself, contact Athens, GA child photographer today! Not too many weekend dates left between now and the end of the year, although there are still quite a few openings for weekdays. Inquire for details. I look forward to photographing your family and discussing ways to customize portrait sessions for you. info@yvonneniemannphotography.com  |  706.713.0676

Love this area of the historic district of Jekyll Island. Pretty walkways, roads, buildings, trees and scenery. It is like taking a step back in time in many ways. I have been photographing my daughter in this exact location for the last few summers and it never disappoints.

There is something about the ocean in black and white that feels both quiet and dramatic.

In this image from Jekyll Island, the clouds along the horizon almost become their own landscape, while the waves rolling onto shore add movement, texture and depth. A simple beach scene, but one that feels timeless.

What a beautiful way to spend part of summer break - studying, writing papers and taking quizzes while tucked away on Jekyll Island. Not a bad “classroom” at all.

She is heading into her sophomore year at GCSU, and this portrait felt like the perfect way to mark the season - relaxed, confident and surrounded by the timeless beauty of Jekyll Island’s historic district, with live oaks and Spanish moss framing the moment.

Had the best time photographing this beautiful girl on Jekyll Island this past week. 

Her mom dreamed of soft clouds, magical color, gentle ocean waves and a calm evening without too much wind - and Jekyll delivered.

It was the sweetest way to begin the week and such a special reminder that preteen portraits deserve to feel just as meaningful, beautiful and timeless.
