Winter Location Scout in Athens, GA

Yesterday morning I headed out to do a location scout for upcoming Winter portrait sessions in Athens, GA. I stopped at many places, but this lake was my favorite of the day. There are several things that I look for when selecting locations for photo shoots. I am looking at the quality of light during certain times of day, interest in foreground and background, variety, accessibility and how it will fit with clients’ lifestyles. Each photo session I do is customized for the individual client and so I do a lot of leg work to make sure that the setting for their portraits is perfect for them. This particular setting would be great for a family that loves the outdoors and enjoys hiking, being on the lake, campfires and would like a more romantic rustic feel to their final artwork. I can totally see a family cuddled in a favorite blanket together surrounding themselves with each other’s love. I can see a father and son fishing off the dock or just enjoying the view. I envision the family holding hands walking through the woods exploring and the kids running across the bridge with laughter. There are so many options here and I know that it will be perfect for certain families. I can’t wait to see it change with the seasons! I think it’s heavenly in the Winter, but I’m sure it’s beauty shines throughout the year. When thinking of your own family photography session, look at your family’s dynamic and what you would like to remember during this time of your lives together. What do you want your portraits to convey and where will they be displayed in your home. These are all things to consider when working with your photographer on choosing the perfect location for your portraits. Location scouting is just one of the many services I provide my clients. Contact Athens, GA family photographer, Yvonne Niemann Photography, for details.

I had the honor to photograph this soon to be grad for his senior portraits. I have been photographing him and his family for the past 10 years. Surreal to watch him grow into a young man and get ready to embark on his college career. UNG will be happy to have him!

Spent some time in Savannah while on Spring break. Such a great way to relax and decompress with family and one of Lily's friends. Had to stop at one of my favorite stores - The Paris Market. What is your favorite shop in Savannah?

It's probably not a big surprise, but I love photographing pretty things in nature during my free time. It brings me so much happiness!!!! Of course, there are times when I leave my camera at home, but most of the time it is with me where I can photograph things that catch my eye. Sometimes it is the way light filters through some trees, architectural elements kissed by the elements, delicate flowers, or vast landscapes. My favorite thing though are all the little details. I tend to isolate elements more than not. It is what I gravitate towards. 

If you like taking pictures, what are your favorite things to capture? Please share!!!!

So proud of my girl. She has committed to Georgia College and will be moving to Milledgeville to start her college career this August. She is a true leader and I know she will find ways to utilize her talents while growing her skill and knowledge at GCSU. 

Love you baby girl! Excited for what is to come.

I hold heirloom photography events each season, but also offer personalized heirloom sessions when you need a bit more time and variety in your images.

Differences in heirloom photography sessions:

Heirloom portrait events are short 15 minute time slots for an individual child. Siblings can be booked back to back to allow a sibling portrait. The background is a white backdrop.

The signature heirloom session lasts up to 90 minutes and can include multiple children and even family pets. You can choose to do the heirloom photography session at your home, outside or at the Yvonne Niemann Photography home studio. You can choose your backdrop as well as a few different sitting options. There are several different backdrops to choose from - white, gray, cream and hand painted muslins in various neutral shades. Sitting options include various stools, chairs, a bench and a settee. If you want other images that are not heirloom portraits, you can do that too during a signature heirloom photography session!

Simplicity heirloom sessions last 30 minutes and can be for an individual child who needs more time to warm up or would like to include a family pet or one other child. These sessions can be done at your home, outdoors or the Yvonne Niemann Photography home studio. You can also choose your backdrop as well as a sitting options.

If you are unsure of what type of heirloom photography session would fit your family/children best, don't hesitate to reach out. I am always happy to discuss options with you and to find the perfect fit for your needs.
