Summer at Jekyll Island | The Perfect Time for Senior Portraits

Jekyll Island is the kind of setting that elevates senior portraits into something truly timeless. And when it comes to timing your senior session, the summer before senior year begins is simply ideal.

Why Summer Sessions Just Make Sense

1. Get Ahead of the Busy Season
Once senior year starts, calendars fill up quickly—sports, activities, college applications, and social events. Scheduling your portraits in the summer allows for a relaxed, unhurried experience without the pressure of a packed fall schedule.

2. Make the Most of Your Images All Year Long
When you have your portraits done early, you can actually use them throughout the year—

  • Announcements
  • Yearbook submissions
  • Grad party invitations
  • Social media milestones

Instead of rushing at the last minute, everything is beautifully prepared ahead of time.

3. Check It Off the To-Do List
For parents, this is one of those meaningful “must-dos” that can quietly linger in the background. A summer session checks that box early—giving you peace of mind and one less thing to think about during an already emotional and busy year.

Why Jekyll Island?

Jekyll Island offers a stunning variety of backdrops in one location—from historic architecture and manicured gardens to winding paths and coastal charm. The soft summer tones and gentle evening light create images that feel effortless, refined, and full of life.

It’s the perfect setting to capture this once-in-a-lifetime season in a way that feels both elevated and authentic.

Summer Session Dates

I’ll be photographing senior sessions on Jekyll Island June 22–26, and these dates are intentionally limited to ensure each senior receives a personalized, boutique experience.

If you’ve been thinking about scheduling senior portraits, this is the perfect opportunity to secure your spot and create something truly special—before the whirlwind of senior year begins.

Ready to reserve your session? Reach out early, as summer dates tend to fill quickly. I would love to create something beautiful for your senior during this unforgettable season. info@yvonneniemannphotography.com  |  706.713.0676

There’s something extra meaningful about an heirloom portrait when your little one is wearing something made by hand.  A homemade gown or outfit carries its own story - the time, love and care that went into creating it - making the finished portrait feel even more timeless.

These are the details that turn a beautiful image into a true family heirloom, meant to be treasured and passed down for generations.

Three months of sweet smiles, bright eyes and so much personality already. 

This little guy’s session was part of my Watch Me Grow Plan, designed to document those important milestones throughout baby’s first year. Because they change so quickly, and every stage deserves to be remembered.

If you love the idea of fall family portraits but still want plenty of soft, beautiful green in the background, now is the perfect time to schedule. 

Late summer and early fall give us that gorgeous in-between season. Lush greenery, warm light and updated portraits before the landscape begins to change.

Happy 20th birthday to my sweet Lily Mae! 

Twenty years ago today, I had no idea how completely my world was about to change. I still remember all the little details - the morning walk, making homemade cinnamon bread, the doctor’s appointment that unexpectedly turned into a hospital stay, the movie we watched while we waited for your arrival, the sweet nurses and doctors that helped welcome you into the world (thank you Mike for the epidural)…and then the moment they placed you on my chest and we met for the very first time.

I could not have asked for a better daughter. I am so incredibly proud of the woman you have become and love watching you find your own way in this world. I cannot wait to see where life takes you next.

No matter how grown you are, you will always be my baby girl. Happy 20th, Lily Mae. You are my whole world. 🤍

Happy birthday to this sweet boy! 

It has been such an honor to photograph him throughout his little life - and especially special to spend the evening before his big day capturing this season with his family.

We chose a beautiful park with easy access and very little walking, yet plenty of gorgeous spots for portraits. Add in that golden evening light, and it truly felt like a little bit of magic. 

Wishing you the happiest birthday and a wonderful year ahead!
