FAQs

Where are you located?

Patricia Nicole Photography is located in Michigan City, Indiana, and serves families throughout Northwest Indiana, Southwestern Michigan, and the Chicago suburbs. Most sessions take place in my cozy, fully-equipped studio, but I also offer outdoor maternity and family sessions at scenic locations throughout The Region.

When should I book my maternity photoshoot?

For the best results, I recommend booking your maternity session any time after 20 weeks. We schedule your session between 28–34 weeks of pregnancy, when your bump is beautifully round but you're still comfortable. Many clients reserve their spot in the second trimester to ensure availability!

When should I book my newborn photography session?

It’s best to book your newborn photography session before baby arrives—ideally in your second trimester when you book your maternity session—or early third trimester. I hold your due date on my calendar, and we pick a session date in the first 72 hours after baby is born.

What if my baby arrives early or late?

Not to worry! I only take a limited number of due dates each month to allow my families the flexibility they disserve. We set your session date as needed!

What should we wear for our photo session?

Wardrobe styling is part of your experience! I provide personalized outfit guidance, complete with shopping links that fit your session type, color palette, and style for family sessions. I include a “What to Wear” section for my maternity and newborn clients that helps you create a timeless, elevated look—whether it is maternity portraits or your first photos as a growing family. I specialize in timeless, neutral tones that elevate the final look of your gallery and put the focus where it belongs—on you, and your family’s connection.

Do you offer printed artwork or albums?

Absolutely. I specialize in heirloom-quality photo albums and fine art prints that are custom-designed just for your family. My clients love displaying their memories in handcrafted pieces that last through the generations.
