I was absolutely beyond thrilled to welcome this amazing family back to Pat Hermann Photography! Seven years ago, I had the joy of capturing big brother Wally’s newborn session and documenting his entire first year. So when I heard they were expecting a beautiful, healthy baby girl, my heart was full—this family is truly one of the kindest I’ve ever had the pleasure to work with.

Little Winnie was an absolute dream! She slept peacefully throughout the entire session and loved being gently posed. You could tell she’s already accustomed to being pampered—big brother Wally was completely smitten! He was so excited to share in the photos and even more thrilled to hold his baby sister for the first time. Those tiny moments of sibling love made this session extra special.

Capturing Every Adorable Moment

We were able to capture so many precious, timeless shots! From sleepy newborn poses to her tiny hands, feet, and delicate features, every image tells the story of Winnie’s first days in this world. I love creating fine-art portraits that parents will treasure forever, remembering not just how small and sweet their baby was, but also the love and joy surrounding them.

Looking Ahead: The Sitter Session

I can’t wait to see Winnie again in just six short months for her sitter session! It’s always amazing to see how quickly these babies grow, learn, and change, and documenting every milestone is such a special part of what I do. Each session is thoughtfully styled and designed to celebrate your baby’s unique personality and growth.
