Northwest Indiana Children’s Portrait Photographer

I am located in Michigan City, Indiana, and proudly serving families throughout Northwest Indiana, Michiana, and Chicago.

Your baby’s first year is filled with wonder, growth, and joyful little milestones you’ll want to remember forever. My milestone and cake smash sessions are thoughtfully designed to reflect your child’s emerging personality while giving you elevated, timeless images to treasure.

At Patricia Nicole Photography, each session is artistically styled and fully guided. I handle all the details so you can simply show up and enjoy this beautiful chapter with your cutie!

Milestone Sessions Available:
– Smiler Session (typically around 3–4 months): a sweet and simple way to capture those first social smiles, the beginning of your baby’s personality shining through, and perfecting tummy time!
– Sitter Session (typically between 6–8 months): the perfect time to capture your baby’s growing curiosity and sweet expressions once they can sit unassisted!
– Crawler Session (typically between 9–10 months): ideal for documenting your little one on the move—crawling, cruising, and exploring their world with energy and wonder.
– Little Explorer’s Session: a fun-filled session as your little one has just begun to get steady on their feet. Walking, running, oh my!

Your milestone and cake smash experience includes:
– A curated selection of studio outfits, adorable accessories, and baby-sized props.
– A custom cake and a mini bathtub for a splash session after the cake smash (cake smash sessions only).
– Beautifully sets styled to complement your vision or party theme.
– Family participation is always welcome with optional family, parent, and sibling portraits.
– Expert guidance to help your baby shine, whether they’re shy or free-spirited.

No need to bring anything but your little one, every detail is taken care of for you.

Preserve the celebration:
All session pricing includes digital packages, but many of the families I work with want something a little extra special for their gallery. Together, we’ll design heirloom artwork that turns your memories into art:

– Custom Wall Art & Framing Options
– Fine Art Albums
– Keepsake Mini Books
– Archival Prints and Luxury Gift Products

Monumental Milestones!
From curled-up newborn portraits to confident sitters and cake-covered smiles, my Newborn to Baby’s First Year Bundle ensures you don’t miss a single moment. This exclusive package is tailored to each baby and the milestones you want to capture. Thoughtfully photographed and artistically preserved, creating a complete visual story line of their first year: perfect for creating a “Signature 9” mega matted collage or timeless heirloom album to flip through as the years pass you by.

Let’s celebrate this unforgettable first year together.
