I am so fortunate to see Camila, one of our baby planners, every few months. Just like her older sister, she was all smiles and coos when I photographed her recently. Cami, (her adorable nickname) is such a happy, beautiful baby girl with the absolute best head of hair!

I had the pleasure of photographing Camila's newborn session when she was just a few days old. It was clear from the start that she is a special little girl. She was so calm and relaxed during her session, and she had the most beautiful big brown eyes.

Now, at 8 months old, Camila is even more adorable. She is full of personality and loves to interact with people. She is also a very curious baby and loves to explore her surroundings.  I am so grateful to Camila's parents for allowing me to capture these special moments in her life. I know that these photos will be cherished for years to come.  Happy 8 months, Camila!

Hey, meet Hudson, the second cutie I had the pleasure of photographing for this amazing family. Just like his big bro, he was a total rockstar during the whole shoot—so calm and peaceful, you could barely hear him peep. But don't let that fool you, Hudson is super expressive. He kept blowing kisses the whole time, which just goes to show how affectionate and loving he is.

It makes me so happy when families come back to me years later with new babies. It's such an honor to be a part of capturing these special moments for them. And with this family, it's extra special because I can see how much love and connection they have. It's just so beautiful.

Hudson, you are so lucky to have such a loving family around you. Your little fingers, toes, and those innocent eyes of yours are filled with so much potential and dreams. As you start this amazing adventure called life, I hope you always have joy, laughter, and the love of your family to keep you going.

See highlights of baby Vivi's 6-month milestone session

As a professional photographer specializing in capturing the precious moments of babies and families, I am thrilled to share Vivi's 6-month photo session with you.

When Vivi arrived at the studio, she was a bit shy and hesitant in front of the camera. However, with patience and my gentle approach, she gradually relaxed and started to show her true personality. It was such a joy to capture her adorable smile and playful spirit in a series of beautiful images.

Vivi's infectious smile and sparkling eyes truly lit up the room, radiating happiness and contentment. Every shot reflects her charming personality and the special bond she shares with her parents. It's evident that she is a loved and cherished baby.

At Pat Hermann Photography, we believe that the first year of a baby's life is filled with significant milestones that deserve to be documented and preserved for a lifetime. These early moments pass by so quickly, and it's our privilege to capture them in a way that families can cherish forever.

Vivi's parents were overjoyed with the photos and expressed their gratitude for the memories we created together. They eagerly anticipate Vivi's cake smash session in a few months, knowing that we will capture all the special moments of her first year.

If you're seeking a photographer to document your baby's precious journey, I would be honored to be a part of this special time. My passion lies in capturing the essence of babies and families, creating timeless images that will bring joy for generations to come.

I am so excited to share Anderson's latest baby plan milestone session with you all! He is such a happy and adorable little guy, and I just love getting to see him every few months.

Anderson is on our baby plan, which means that I get to photograph him at various stages of his first year. I love watching him grow and change, and it's amazing to see how much he's learned and developed since his newborn session.

At his latest session, Anderson was 4 months old. He was sitting up on his own, and he was starting to interact with his surroundings more. He also had the cutest little smile!

I had so much fun photographing Anderson, and I can't wait to see him again at his 6-month session. I know he's going to be even cuter then!

Here are a few of my favorite photos from Anderson's 3-month session below. If you're interested in booking a baby plan session for your little one, please contact me today. I would love to capture all of your precious memories.

See highlights of baby Lucy's Peoria Newborn Session

I had the pleasure of photographing baby Lucy recently, and what a cutie she is! At almost 10 pounds, she was a little chunk of pure cuteness. She posed like a champ for me and even opened up her eyes towards the end of her session, allowing us to get the most beautiful awake shots. She is such a perfect baby girl, and I loved working with her and her parents.

I can't wait to see how much she changes for her three-month session, which will be here before we know it! Welcome to the world, sweet girl! I am so grateful to Lucy's parents for choosing me to be her newborn photographer. It was an honor to capture these precious moments for them.
