My home-based studio is located in Michigan City, IN, but I have clients travel to me from all over Northwest Indiana, Southwestern Michigan, and the greater Chicago region!

Your baby’s first days fly by: soft, sleepy, and filled with magic. At Patricia Nicole Photography, your newborn session is a tailored experience designed to honor this precious time with timeless, posed portraits that blend artistry and sentiment with the details of your new little one that you won’t want to soon forget. Every detail is taken care of for you so you can simply arrive, relax, and take it all in. (And maybe take a nap!)

Sessions take place in my private, full-service studio where the comfort of home meets high-end studio. From custom styling to custom artwork design, I provide everything you need to preserve your baby’s story in a way that feels effortless and deeply meaningful.

What’s included in your newborn session:
– With your help, I will design a session that reflects your aesthetic and complements your home.
– A fully styled session with access to my collection of high-end props, wraps, textures, and accessories for baby.
– Custom-designed sets inspired by your nursery style and personal taste.
– Family portraits with styling assistance to ensure a polished, timeless look (package dependent).
– A comprehensive session prep guide to help your family feel prepared and ready the morning of our session.
– Sessions are baby-led with no strict time limit, typically lasting 2–3 hours (package dependent).
– Safe, expert newborn posing by a professionally trained photographer.
– Fine art image retouching included with every final gallery.

The ideal time for a newborn session is within that first 14 days, when your baby is still in that dreamy, squishy, curled-up stage.

The best time to book is in your second trimester. I only accept so many due dates every month, ensuring every client gets the attention to detail and flexibility that they deserve!

What to bring:
Just your little one is required. I’ll take care of the rest.
My studio provides everything we’ll need for a calm, elevated experience from start to finish. But, if you’re a die-hard planner like me, my Newborn Session Prep Guide covers all the “extras” that are nice to have for your session day!

How you’ll enjoy your images:
After your session, you’ll return for a personalized ordering appointment where we’ll walk through your final images and design the perfect pieces for your home and family.

Don’t trap your baby’s memories on a digital drive, let’s create something tangible and beautiful! Available artwork options include:

– Gallery-worthy Wall Art
– Luxurious Heirloom Albums
– Keepsake Memory Chests
– Gift Options for Grandparents and more!

These portraits are more than just pretty pictures. They’re legacy pieces that will tell your baby’s story decades to come.

Let’s begin planning a newborn session that is as meaningful as it is beautiful.
