What to Wear – Summer Family Portraits

Summer is here and with that come the big question, “What am I going to wear for my summer portraits?” Don’t worry. With every photography session booked with Yvonne Niemann Photography, I give tips on wardrobe and will help you with just that dilemma. Below is an example of what to wear for a family photo session in the Summer. Notice how everyone coordinates well together, but it’s not too matchy matchy? No uniforms here. 😉 I always suggest that mom picks out her outfit first. Something that makes her feel pretty! Then have the rest of the family coordinate around what she’s wearing. It’s also helpful to have a color palette in mind. In the example below, green, cobalt blue and a pale blue makes up the colors in the family’s wardrobe. Mom’s dress and shoes are picked up in the boy’s shirts and shoes. Baby sister’s dress and shoes ties in the all of the other family member’s clothing choices, while remaining sweet and fresh. Each person would look great on their own and with each different grouping during their photography session. Perfection!

When choosing your summer wardrobe for your upcoming portraits, make sure to also think of the location so that the colors and style works well with your surroundings. Each photography session with Yvonne Niemann Photography is customized to suite each client’s style and needs. If you already have a color palette in mind, let me know before I location scout for your session. If you aren’t sure what you are going to wear, I will give you suggestions on colors after my location scout and after we work together to decide on the perfect final location of your portraits!

I’m looking forward to all the upcoming summer family photography sessions! There are a few more openings in the upcoming months. If you would like to get on the calendar, contact Yvonne Niemann Photography as soon as possible to schedule your personal photography session! You can use the contact tab at the top of the screen or email me directly at info@yvonneniemannphotograpy.com.  If you prefer to chat on the phone, call me at 706.713.0676.

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.

I have been photographing this little man since he was three months old. Look at him now!!!! He was a bit unsure of things at the beginning of the session, but he quickly warmed up when he realized that he got to play games with his parents. Having some fun is just part of the process!

If you have done a session with me, what was your favorite game we played during your portraits?

Finally!!!! Prime Autumn colors here in Georgia. What a gorgeous night for this beautiful senior.

Looking forward to sessions this weekend before the cold snap hits on Monday.

Make sure to bring plants in Sunday night and cover up the ones that cannot be transported.
