Serene Child Fine Art Portraiture in Oconee County, GA

“Do not go where the path may lead, go instead where there is no path and leave a trail.” ~ RALPH WALDO EMERSON

Serene fine art portrait of a little girl in long flowing gown in the woods in Bishop, GA.

Most mornings start with a walk in the woods out our back door. The light is absolutely heavenly in the morning and around sunset. It is truly the perfect spot for portraits. It is a place that gives me daily inspiration and simply makes my heart sing. The portrait above is of my daughter yesterday morning as we started our day. She is wearing one of my robes and had just finished her breakfast outside when we saw the family of deer that visit us daily. We went down into the pathway to see if we could see them a bit better as they went into the woods. This time I followed with my camera. I love this serene image of my little girl as she paused for a moment in our trail to check something out. So thankful to have such beautiful surroundings where we live and a place where we can daydream and let our imaginations run wild. Georgia is a dream come true.

If you would like portraits of your family surrounded by Mother Nature’s beauty, contact Athens, GA fine art photographer, Yvonne Niemann Photography, to schedule your session and for details.

It is certainly a magical time of year, but even more when you are expecting your little one to arrive. A Christmas tree farm was the perfect setting for this maternity portrait session!

Christmas is just around the corner. This little girl is on trend with the Ralph Lauren Christmas theme that is so popular this year. 

What decorating style do you gravitate towards? I am certainly traditional with my home decor for Christmas. White, cream, red and green.

This was the last of the Fall portrait sessions this year. Such a wonderful way to end the season. Love this family so much and such an honor to photograph them when everyone was in town for Thanksgiving. 

Hope everyone is having a blessed holiday season. Looking forward to Winter sessions!

Love the glow of Autumn sunlight dancing through the colorful hues of the trees. Quite magical. Love how the light shines on her hair and kisses the edges of her legs and dress.

During a session with me, if you see me looking around at the landscape, the sky and behind me, just know there is a reason. I am looking for the best light for your family and you!

There is absolutely nothing like cuddling with your baby. Such a wonderful thing to capture through portraiture. They only stay this little for a short time. Document all the details while you can.

Coming to an end of Autumn colors. Glad we were able to get that colorful glow for this senior last night! Great things ahead for this determined, smart, talented, sweet and beautiful young lady. Cannot wait to see what the future holds. 

The year is slipping by, and so are the stories waiting to be told. 

If you’re a senior ready to capture who you are right now—the laughter, the grit, the in-between moments—I have a few end-of-year spots left.

Let’s create images that feel like you. Message me to book your date.

As the air cools and the leaves turn golden, I always tell my families this:
fall portraits are all about letting the season wrap around you.
Neutrals do that beautifully.

Think creams, taupes, camel, warm grays—the tones that feel like soft sweaters and slow Sunday mornings. These shades don’t fight the scenery… they elevate it.

Mamas shine in cozy knits, flowing skirts, or a simple sweater dress.
Dads look effortless in chinos or jeans and a warm neutral sweater.
And little ones? They photograph like a dream in textured pieces—cords, ribbed knits, or those sweet simple dresses that never go out of style.

Keep it subtle. Keep it soft.
Let the textures do the talking.
Let the layers add that quiet luxury.
Let the colors stay calm so your connection can take center stage.

This is how we create those timeless, heirloom-worthy fall portraits you’ll love for years.
