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.

I love nature and taking pictures of all that Mother Nature gifts us. Unfortunately, I haven`t taken the time to photograph the beauty around me as often as I would like. So, I plan on doing more of that going forward. It is something that feeds my soul and gives me so much joy. Thankfully, I never stopped documenting the beauty around me, but I certainly would love to do it more. Stay tuned. More pretty pictures will be scattered through my feed in the future.

At extended family portrait sessions, we do a lot of break outs to get images of individual families and relationships that you want documented. This includes couples! For younger families, this is the perfect time to get your portraits taken with your spouse when others are around to entertain your littles. For those who don`t have tiny children, this is a great time to relax and bask in the love with your significant other. A time to sneak away from the chaos for just a bit.

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.
